Alex backs out of the PipBoy screen and shifts Neil against him more firmly. "Because I want to take one of his toys. And he knows," Alex says pointedly, turning his head to look at ED-E. "That I will get you a new one. We have like two hundred. C'mon."
A buzzed beep sound is the only reply for a long moment, angry and low. It is a reminder that ED-E has been helpful and patient with Alex, and this is towing the line. "Listen," he says further. "You know I would never take your dinosaur or the sensor module. I just want the rocket. You know it's for a good cause or I wouldn't take it from you."
Another unhappy sound, less harsh than the last. "Hey," Alex says softly.
Another moment, then ED-E slowly floats closer, lowering so his compartment latch is in reach. Alex moves to run a hand over the eyebot instead. "Thanks, ED-E."
