[ Ranger knows perfectly well why he's worried, because he's too concerned with all the little pro that occurred to consider context or solution. It's not surprising, given that he's having all this dropped on him at once, but it doesn't make it any less irritating to have rules and regulations that are encoded into him so strongly that he can't truly ever go against it. Nor would he want to, no more then a person would want to remove their instinct to pull their hands away from a hot stove.
He doesn't trust any of them, not really. He stops near a puddle now, rolling Midori's head so he can grip it with both hands and lift it up above his head and - ]
See, this is why your body functions just fine without the head attached.
[ - he starts shaking it up and down in a rapid movement. It won't hurt him, his parts won't rattle around in his head and he won't suffer any dizziness like a human would, but it's no less anyone for him than anyone else. He emphasizes each word as he continues. ]
Because you don't use it anyway.
[ He stops, but that glare remains. He's never once put the rest of them at risk, and here has been no different. There's a reason for everything that he does. ]
[ nothing rattles, he doesn't get busy, hut he admires the ceiling for the change in colors that ranger puts him though as he shakes his head. he does use his shoulders for more than a head rack, and that's why he said what he did. that's fine, he believes, that if there's so much denial towards being worked on properly, midori follows what he would have done himself. ]
After I find my body, I'll check over you myself. It's really hard finding proper help.
[ that's how he feels about anyone touching asunaro code and body functions that he's wired himself into. longevity, life, and all things never-ending is why he traded himself for these parts so that he could live forever. ]
That's why you have meeee! ♡
[ he's the proper help, laughing while he accepts this as a roller coaster if anything. he waits for ranger to stop before continuing, clearing his throat as he scans the pool to see if there's anything his body may have left behind. ]
You can agree with that, can't you?
stop midori can control him the old fashioned way, that's so cute
[ It's like dealing with a child, and Ranger keeps his stare fixed on him. The thought of being worked on by Midori makes him frown. Ranger was only worked on by Gashu, Miley, and Safalin. Midori will be able to work on him just as skillfully, but that meant he could do harm and good alike as he pleased.
He considers Midori's position. He would be working with the perfect program, one in which each string was carefully interwoven with the next. There should be no vulnerabilities, no exploits, save any that came with it being tampered with by outsiders. It would be safer, then, to maintain that than to risk vulnerabilities that if found could be used on him.
Midori plays the long game, and so he has other ways of causing any changes he wishes to see occur without any risk to himself.
Ranger nods. ]
Right. You and I are the only people here qualified to work with ASUNARO technology.
[ He looks behind him at the pool itself, and he briefly considers kicking his head into it. He decides against it, instead lowering his arms and holding Midori's head close once more. The body's not here, so it must have left. It would find a secure place to stay, which would rule out standing around in the snow half-frozen. ]
[ where is it now? it seems throughout their walk and conversation, midori had "forgotten" to explain his thoughts of that the body has migrated, and is no longer suffering from the cold or pressure. ]
The body is warm now, any special places with heat?
[ there should be some place that generate warmth, enough to dry off a body like his as it regulates a certain temperature to help. he trusts that ranger would know where to go when it comes to that, and soon, he'll be officially complete without any other hiccups in his arrival. it's a shame he isn't aware of the date, this is surely an interesting birthday to wake up to. with it not on his mind, he attempts to bring back the conversation from its high once ranger is calm again. ]
And I'll remain qualified, hey, hey... Ranger? I will be playing with the participants.
[ playing with them would mean it's another fun game, but only for midori. it'll keep him interested while observing their growth, it's a plan that relies on working together properly with information. he continues, ]
I want to see where they've grown if I act as if I don't remember them.
[ he thinks softer, and that they may have become complacent due to the fact they accept ranger as one of their own despite there being more to it. it's a dangerous game, when the other states there's a misunderstanding; how unfortunate, placing ranger in a narrative where it suits them. so will they do the same to him? ]
