"You would, work with me?" This statement seemed to startle him more than anything. It was the simple fact that this man was willing to help him, on top of helping him get away from always being locked indoors. A smile had come to his face without his meaning it to, and he said, quite excitedly, "You would help me....truly?"

"Yeah, of course I would." Reeve wondered at the startlement. He felt his own dose of surprise when Xander actually smiled and sounded excited. "It'd be fun, I think. Would you be willing to work with me, then?" He grinned warmly at the shorter man, almost laughing aloud.

"I would, very much." Xander said, to be able to work with a human who wasn't scared of him would be a nice change. Perhaps he could actually learn something instead of hiding in the lab all the time...That was better than hearing them mutter, seeing them move away from him. It hurt, despite the fact that he was told he didn't have feelings.

"Excellent." Reeve grinned. "It should be a simple matter... and your voice'll count. Aw man, Xan... high five!" He held up his hand to Xander, palm facing him, then realized it was probably a gesture the AI hadn't been taught just yet. One of those idiomatic human things. "Um, hit the palm of my hand with your hand. It's a gesture of happiness or celebration."

Indeed, Xander had been completely thrown by the gesture. High five? His red eyes had moved to the others hand and back to his face. And before he could even ask he had explained it. Happiness or celebration. he filed it away and raised his hand to touch the others. Hmph. Odd, but it would become more normal as he learned he supposed. "Thank you." He managed, smiling faintly at him.

"Any time, partner." Reeve's grin made his face almost light up with warmth. "We'll get you taken care of and everything squared away, and maybe we can begin soon. I... I'm really excited, Xander." He rubbed the back of his head again, looking goofy. "Just... this is so cool. You know?"

"It is?" He didn't understand by 'cool', but he was happy the other was goingto help him. It was the best feeling he'd had since his mainframe had come online. Xander was smiling still though, without knowing it. The warmth it brought to his pale features amde him seem almost completely human.
