”Well, I was just going off of the paper. Human nicknames are always more difficult to pinpoint.” It was rather ironic, given the tone lacking any stacatto he spoke in. The robot was more human-like than the actual one standing in the room. Alessa seemed to have eased up at this point. Her shoulders and overall composure had notably relaxed, a stark contrast from the terrified stature which was screaming in shock a few minutes prior. Ender took the spectacle to heart. Wasn’t really much of a heart to go off of in the first place. The only people who designated by her nickname were the relatives who truly knew her. That was what the programming dictated, at least. He was a bit lax when it came to coding her backstory, and purposefully left a plot hole or two. Like the good scientist he was, he intended to monitor how she adapted and compensated for what wasn’t there.
The student may have not fully come to terms with it, but he didn’t want Alessa to never find out the truth. As his adoptive father once told him, ”Women always find the truth.” Even the robotic ones. And he sure as hell did not make his better half a dunce. But technically, this was a fresh start. For the both of them, albeit Ender was given a bit of a head start.
And then the girl questioned how well she would fit in. He didn’t blame her for being anxious, but it’s not like Ender was the best source of reference on how to coax oneself into a community. The student never really made it a point to follow trends many of his classmates were adamant about, but after factoring in Alessa’s personality, he made a deft nod. ”You’ll be fine. People there are… manageable.” He left off the sentence with a bit of suspense before shutting the blinds, ”As for the academy itself, it’s definitely a sufficient place to cultivate young minds. Even though many don’t exercise their capability when it comes to resources, if you strive, your efforts will be rewarded as such.” Ender didn’t want to spoil all of the school’s facets. That would be an experience left for tomorrow. With a quick glance at the clock resting on the night table, he decided to make his way to the other side of the room. ”Speaking of which, schools is in a few hours. I’m sure, unlike me, you need your sleep.” He turned the doorknob and began to open the door, ”If you need anything, feel free to wake me up. My room’s right across from yours. Get some sleep.”
