"Alright, come here, baby," you coo.

Matt lifts his head up. "Hmm?"

You snort and turn toward where he's sitting. "I'm not talking to you, babe." He blinks once at you before going back to reading whatever is on his computer screen. You turn forward again. "Alright, come here, Tokki," you clap your hands.

The automaton you built slowly hops forward, ruby eyes blinking once.

"Yes, that's it!" You smile. "Matt, look!" Not wanting to him to miss this step forward (pun intended) in your progress, you take a glance back at him.

He's looking at you with a fond smile. "I'm watching."

"Alright, let's keep going," you stand up, clapping your hands behind you. "Let's take a walk, Tokki." Shuffling slowly at what you expect Tokki's pace to be, you move backwards around the room, carefully monitoring the movements of your creation.

It moves the same way the real thing would, movements smooth and clean.

"Matt, open the cage."

"Will do." He moves to the table on the side of the room, and opens the door of Coni's cage. "Alright, here we go, buddy." Matt reaches in and lifts up your pet rabbit to put him down on the floor.

You run your hand down Tokki's back, the smooth metal cold to the touch. "It's time to meet a new friend, okay?"

The mechanical rabbit hops over to the living one, watching curiously.

Coni looks afraid. If rabbits responded the way humans do, he would probably be screaming right now. Matt rubs the top of Coni's head with his thumb. He gestures for Tokki to come closer.

Since you gave your synthetic rabbit a better understanding of human commands, it immediately does as Matt asks and moves closer, one hop at a time.

Your pet doesn't seem as frightened and leans in to sniff Tokki.

Tokki does the same and leans closer to the other rabbit, nose wrinkling as it mimics the same sniff. It cannot actually smell, as you don't have the knowledge to allow it to do so.

You smile fondly at the two. "Fascinating... Matt, do you wanna film?"

"Already going," he points at the floating orb.

"Nice." You watch as Coni starts to jump back and forth. "How do you think he will deal with the territory issue?"

He thinks for a moment. "We'll see, but Tokki doesn't have a gender, so I have no idea what he'll think." Matt looks at you, "Now that you've finished this project, are you just going to study the two together?"

"Finished?" You laugh, "I'm just getting started." You pick Coni up and put him back in his cage. "Tokki!" Squatting down to your rabbit's level, you pat your collarbone. It hops onto your shoulder.

Matt stares at you. "What..."

You whistle, "Raposa!"

The silver fox stalks in from the door of your workshop. Each step is slow, elegant, carefully calculated. The tail is plush, white, velvet fur that waves mesmerizingly behind it.

"Wow..." Matt stares.

"I've got more things to work on." You hold out your hand, "Wanna help?"

He smiles and takes it in his own. "I'd love to."
