[Although 9S has taken note of her weapon, he makes no effort to call attention to it. He wasn't created for combat, but he knows he'd sooner have weapons with him than otherwise. It'd be pretty impossible to miss his swords or a lance hovering behind him, if he were to equip them]
A Pod functions as more than combat support. [A beat, during which he briefly debates before pressing on] I owe my present condition to its efforts.
[Pod 153 dips down closer to him then, though he doesn't notice it. There may be something to that proximity from an outside view, something that bespeaks a measure of care one might not expect from a floating box. 9S doesn't even know how true it is that he owes his restoration to his Pod's efforts, to its simple desire that he be allowed to live.
In this moment he hasn't had the time to discover the why, only concluded that the one entity capable of repairing him under normal conditions (aside another Scanner unit) had managed to do so under abnormal ones]
