Seven nodded, but that was her outward response. She was thinking - or processing, whatever one wished to call it.
She knew many things. She knew that her original code prevented her feeling and comprehending a full range of emotions, because that would compromise her priorities, and thus make her a failure, useless, dangerous even. Master Ialo did not tolerate failure or insubordination in his computers. Hence, here, she was breaking her code - she was rewriting herself, using a another man's logic, to say that she too could feel, and still be functional.
She also knew, that above all, no matter what she felt, she was an object, a tool, and though she did not think Master Ialo had such a streak, she knew that he was fully capable of shutting her down and reprogramming her. That... that would...
"I enjoy your company," she repeated abruptly. "I wish to remain in contact with you, now and in the future. I find your thought processes logical and enlightening, and I also find it a refreshing change of interaction."

"Oh..." Alec was a little taken aback by the sudden outburst from Seven, but he recovered fairly quickly. "...well, alright then."
It was then that Alec saw the clock and had to do a double take. It was nearly 3 in the morning already, and he had classes in another 5 hours. Alec groaned audibly, holding his head in his hand and shaking it slowly. Without looking at Seven he slowly shook his fist in mock anger at the situation. "You know, I'd enjoy to be you right now. At least you don't need sleep to function properly." Alec let his hands drop and looked at Seven apologetically. "I'm sorry Seven but I need to get at least a few hours of sleep if I'm going to be able to teach tomorrow. We can go over the data... and other things tomorrow if you want."

Kai pushed off the wall as the last words were exchanged between Seven and Alec, an amused grin on his face as he strode toward's his tower. "So seven has feelings and Ialo is M.I.A ... again ... what is this twice now?" He probed his thoughts leaning against the old wooden door that lead to his tower. "I swear I have got to get on the ball with these things."

Ah, yes, sleep. Emotions did take a lot of energy, it seemed.
"I understand," Seven said, shades of disappointment in her voice. "Sleep well." She stood up and blinked - she too needed to rest, she realized. Everything she had done today had drained much of her battery, and with it being night on Earth, there was no solar energy to be taken advantage of.
"... May I escort you? I... have no one to report to."

Alec was a little surprised by Seven's offer. He halfway expected her to go back to Ialo's office or something. But then he remembered that it was no longer Ialo's office anymore, and suddenly Seven's request seemed a lot more logical. Alec smiled slightly as he responded. "Um, sure! I don't mind." Alec then turned around and noticed the small plate of mush still sitting on the computer desk, and Alec just couldn't let that sit there. He wasn't a huge neat freak, but that was just uncouth. He turned back to Seven and held up a finger as he said, "Hang on, let me take care of this first." Alec waved his hand over the plate, and underneath a small, fiery portal opened up that transported the plate of food back into the kitchen, dropping it neatly on the small pile of dishes left over from the student's midnight snackings.
Once that was done Alec wiped his hands together and turned back to Seven. "Alright, now we can go." Alec walked towards the library doors and held one of them open for Seven, holding his arm out in front of him much like a doorman would. "Ladies first."

((I think I will. A nice blue poofy dress with glitter and gauze and silk. Maybe even get him a tiara, a bow, and some lipgloss, too.))
Seven smiled, even moreso when Alec held the door open for her. That was nice. No one ever held doors open for her. Granted, in orbit, there were no doors, and she only had been on Earth for a few months, but still. She had walked through plenty of doors here, and only Ophi ever held a door open for her, and he didn't count.
"Merci," she said with perfect pronunciation and accent, and curtsied. Not that she was wearing a skirt (pants and a long coat, actually), but still. And again, she was blushing just a little bit.

Alec smiled slightly as Seven blushed, allowing the door to close behind them both. Alec held his arm out for Seven like a proper gentleman would. Something Alec didn't really consider himself to be, but hey, if Seven could speak French then the least he could do was try.

((yeah that would work, don't forget the matching heels haha))
Kai snickered and opened the door too the tower disappearing into the Shadows of the unlit stairwell. He climber until he was just below the bell and opened a small crawl space barely noticeable against the wall. A cloud of dust filled the air as the unused door slide open revealing Kai's lavished room. "ahh home sweet home... or school."

((Riser will kick him in the nuts if that ever happens XD))
117 jumped from his rooftop perch, landing in the courtyard before Leaton and the android. Seconds later and Mr. BLACK arose next to his companion, a portal of dark energy closing beneath his feet as he stepped forward. They were two extremely contrasting characters, visually at least. One was quiet and reserved, a defensive specialist behind a large skull mask. The other was loud and rather obnoxious, a combat specialist with a huge knife in hand. Yin and Yang if they had ever come to physical fruition.
"So..." said 117 as he buried his little finger in his ear, twisting back and forth as he pulled out a large plug of wax and wiped it on the pristine white coat of Mr. BLACK. "You're the uhh magic dude right? Alfred...Alphonse...Allen?"
Slapping his clearly confused companion in the back of the head, Mr. BLACK stepped forward to correct him. "It is Alec, if I am not mistaken. I have heard that you are quite the gifted user of the otherworldly arts, and I was hoping that you would perhaps assist me in a quite trivial matter."
"...Wh...What?" he stared at Mr. BLACK, his face inching ever closer as though he were expressly attempting to annoy him. It didn't work; BLACK merely glanced his eyes over for a moment.

Athena sighed at Ophi brought her and Danni to the infirmary. "...I guess I should call it a night..." she murmured somewhat dejectedly. She felt almost like she'd not managed to do much today--even though that was far from the truth when one realized that she had found the gloves which would soon change everything she knew.
But Athena did not know this as she, out of habit from how she would act at home with her family, gave both Danni and Ophiuchus a good-night kiss on the cheek before half-stumbling out of the infirmary (a jumbled Swedish 'good night' accompanying her exit) and towards her dormitory. It was late, after all. She should have been in bed a long while ago.
She did not bother changing into pajamas before she fell face-first onto her bed and into the blissful unaware.

((What nuts? Certainly not Ialo's - he has none. Luna will tell you.))
Seven smiled as she passed Alec through to the door. Together they walked, cutting through the courtyard to get to the teachers' dorms faster.
She was silent though, as 117 and Mr. BLACK approached them. Out of habit, she supposed, Master Ialo's programming, she took a step forward, and edged herself slightly in front of Alec.

Alec was taken aback a bit as Seven tried to put herself slightly in front of Alec rather than stand behind him slightly. Alec was used to be being the protector, not the protected. It was a funny change of pace for him. Alec was getting all sorts of surprises from Seven today. ...Alec began to wonder if that was making him like her more or not.
But that was a bit secondary because the two strange individuals, one dapper and refined the other crude and lewd, had decided to stop him in the middle of the night outside in the courtyard at an ungodly hour and were asking his help for something. Needless to say he was a little peeved at this, but Alec hadn't met these people before so he wasn't sure what to make of them. Keeping his face calm Alec slowly spoke to them, careful not to belie either his anger or his uncertainty at the situation. "...I guess that depends. Who are you and why would you need my help right this second? It's 3 AM and I'm rather tired."

"You should," Ophiuchus chided Athena gently. It was incredibly late - really, if he were being responsible, he would have sent everyone to bed ages ago. As it was though, he didn't really need sleep and Danni had no classes. Athena did though.
"Good night Athena," he said softly, patting the girl on the back as he watched her drag herself back to her room.
"Oddly enough," he said to Danni, "Being here makes me feel like I'm back with my family."
