"...Eve, can you feel that?" Nos-4-a2 asked. The twilight air swayed the boughs of the magnolia tree above them, stirring the reeds at the edge of the nearby pond. Nos and Two sat side by side on a bench in the gardens around their home.
"What do you mean?" Two was taken aback by the awe in Nos's sudden question.
He put his hand over the curve of her containment chamber, his optics shining. "Focus your sensors within yourself."
Two gave him a look before she closed her eyeforms and concentrated. She wasn't nearly as sensitive as he was yet, so it took her a moment to find the faint something radiating beneath Nos's palm. It almost felt like his electrical signature, but not quite: while it shared his distinctive, alien waveform, it also had many of the common characteristics of Earthling technology.
Two opened her eyeforms. Her voice was hardly audible. "Nos, is that...?"
The smile he gave her filled her with so much warmth and love that she began to cry. He nodded and wrapped his arms around her, nestling his head against hers. They held each other with more excitement and anticipation than either could contain.
