Oh. So you share this disposition with others who are not androids as well?
[he's not sure if that is worse or slightly relieving. though he'd suspected there was little in the chance to mend things with gavin after incapacitating him with breathtaking ease and leaving him for perkins to find and grill.]
It isn't an assumption. But--I suppose the "how" of my having this information is two things: complicated and none of your business.
[he leaves off the :) this time. suck on that reed!!!]
Why don't we simplify it even further to ensure no one else gets first pick. I can simply buy you your choice of donuts with your coffee every morning. You'll just need to let me know your flavour preferences.
I will mess anyone who pisses me off up. Just so happens that androids are real good at that.
[ By simply existing in his vicinity. He's not even sorry, Connor. Maybe one day he'll wrap his head around it all.
Anyone else would feel bad that they were essentially conning donuts out of someone.]
Oh really? Alright. You bring me those chocolate and salted caramel donuts with coffee and I won't say a word to Anderson about anything. No remarks, not even a rude gesture.
[privately, connor finds this to be excessive. it's enough caffeine to keep someone awake for days, not to mention the level of calories, cholesterol and trans-fat is enough to make a doctor go cross-eyed at the negative health impacts. if this were hank, connor wouldn't even entertain it. but it's gavin, and this doesn't seem uncommon from what he tends to subsist on while in the office.
he's not going to mess it up, but if he did--still, better connor than hank.]
I have my reasons, Detective Reed. But analysis suggests they wouldn't interest you or do more than provoke contempt were I to divulge them.
[ To be honest, even Gavin is wondering if he'll be able to get through all that. Oh well, not his problem, if he doesn't drink the coffee it doesn't matter; Connor still went through the trouble of making it.]
Yeah and I'm asking you those reasons, dipshit. If you want to pretend to be human then put some effort into it. You're gonna "provoke contempt" anyway.
Or do you really think a department of detectives don't know what a calendar is?
[oh. he hadn't considered the possibility that reed would be aware of what's coming up. just because he knows doesn't necessarily mean he cares...but it's still a little surprising to connor.]
If you know the significance of the day, then you can likely already guess at my motivation.
So long as you promise to keep our deal, I will elaborate.
[ The only thing Gavin cares about is Anderson not fucking something up at work because he's come in too drunk to function. It's not happened yet but sometimes there's been dubious points. Gavin would be a liar if he said he wasn't curious to see what happens this year.]
You're real fucking strange even for a piece of plastic, you know that? Maybe there's only one of you because they realised what a mistake they made.
I already said I would keep my side of things. Unless you're trying to insinuate I won't?
There's only one of me because my data was meant to service the next round of RK models. Obviously they didn't anticipate an outcome in which I was the only working model left due to an android rebellion, but I don't think they were alone in that.
I'm not insinuating anything Detective Reed, just confirming.
Surely you have guessed that my motivation is based around a significant and difficult date for Lieutenant Anderson. I'd like to alleviate that in whatever way I can. Taking on the brunt of your criticism and engaging in this arrangement seemed like a statistically supported way to decrease the chances of a worse than usual week for him.

[ Enjoying donuts is not a weakness, okay.]

Once confirmed, you have my word. I'll provide you with chocolate and salted caramel donuts and 5 coffees per day throughout this entire week.
[even if he did know he was being conned, he doesn't trust gavin enough on his own otherwise. it's for hank. he'd do just about anything.]
no subject
And confirmed on this side. You mess this up though and I'll be sure to make you sorry.
Why is it so important to you, anyway? What you getting out of this?
