Dýo smirked, deciding to keep his mind-reading knowledge to himself for now. "Andrew can be quite the pain in the arse, but he's been well-tempered lately."/p

That way, he can meet Dr Bright, who in return gives him lots of meat. I should probably mention he loves his meat; white, red – if it's meat, he'll eat it." Simon frowned. "Something botherin' you?"/p

Simon sighed. A small smile formed on Dýo's porcelain surface./p

I reckon whilst Andrew was out one night in a containment breach, he was probably being annoyed by every SCP he encountered, as usual, so meeting an SCP as intelligent as Damian probably eased his nerves a little. After that, I suppose they became friends." Dýo winked at Simon, "And you know what that means?"/p

Almost immediately, Simon navigated to SCP-682's main feed and, sure enough, SCP-682 lay in his bed, reading. Simon moved his camera around, not wanting to fully startle the man. Sure enough, he noticed./p

Simon quickly disconnected from the cameras before Andrew turned around to notice the camera following him, eyeing him all over, before lying in his containment chamber. It had been fitted with a new bed./p
