"Come on, put on something a little nicer. We're going to the library today."

Nos cocked his brow and picked a piece of lint off his shoulder. "What are you talking about? I work in the library every day."

"No, not our library. The big public library in the city," Two explained. She was shuffling through their closet, pulling out a flowy white cloak with blue trim.

"What? Why would we go into the city?"

"Because you've been complaining about getting frustrated and distracted while you work. You need a change of scenery."

"Alright, so how about I just work in a different room? There's no point leaving the house, all my materials are here."

"You have plenty of work to do that doesn't require any materials, you said just last night that you had enough experimental results to go over for a week. Besides, when was the last time you left the house?"

"I don't see what that has to do with anything, but it couldn't have been that long ago."

Two rolled her eyeforms. "Quinn, how long has it been since the last time Nos-4-a2 left?"

"Nearly a month, ma'am."

She gave him a pointed look, but he only scowled back.

"So what?"

"'So what,'" she imitated his accent, now looking through his side of the closet to pick out a different cape. "It's my day off, the city library is only a fifteen minute flight away, and you're going stir crazy without even realizing it."

"Has it not occurred to you that I have a good reason to lay low and avoid public places?"

"Well, see, I don't know if you've noticed, but thanks to One, EVE Probes are pretty well liked. Nobody's going to give you crap if you're with me, and I'm not sure they would anyway. Half the reason Star Command is letting you serve your sentence here is because Earth is so out of the way that no one's likely to recognize you, so stop making excuses and put this on," Two hovered out of the closet with a fine black cloak.

He frowned at her, keeping his arms crossed. "You're being so patronizing I don't think I want to go with you anyway."

Two threw the cloak at his face. "Stop being a baby and enjoy yourself for a change!"
