[ And how could she? Nobody has ever had to explain what a burden is to her and how it can take a toll on people. Being alone has never bothered her and that's because she is an android, emotions are still foreign to her and A2 is taking her time learning and actually understanding.
Glancing down at his hand, she places hers in his. ] There is where I say thank you, right?
Only if you want to. I'm not doing this because I want a thank you.
[ No, Cain doesn't need or even particularly want anyone's thanks. He does this because it's practically a compulsion, something he's driven to do after all the regret built up by the people he's lost. He wants to help people. He wants to keep them from being hurt. He doesn't want anyone else to lose someone the way he's lost. What he's doing is selfish, and he knows it. It's not deserving of any thanks.
But he still smiles at A2, clasping hands with hers. Even if she's some sort of machine, her hand is still warm, still feels soft and human. ]
I can try to explain if you want, but sometimes things like this are best taken on faith. I just don't want you to be alone.
[ She's just confused now, but she shrugs it off. There are just some things that will take a while for her to understand and that's okay in her mind -- it isn't like she is going to get into trouble for not knowing. ]
You're welcome. And since I'm not letting you be alone today, what do you say about trying some more food?
[ He gives her a wink, friendly and gregarious. It may be a little overbearing, but she seems like the kind of person who needs that if she's going to break out of her shell. Her metal-plated, fake skin shell? Well, Cain's not entirely sure, but he's going with it.
He can at least make sure that no matter what else happens, she has a good time at the party today. ]

I'll just accept it then, I guess. ... Thanks.

There's no reason for her to say no to him though, not any that is good enough for her to come up with at least. ]
We can do that.
