[ Upon noticing the robot replica of Dirk, K's first instinct is to make a beeline for him and investigate — until his flush of embarrassment is renewed by the teasing. Yeah, he knows he won't be living that down anytime soon. He makes a detour to wander down an aisle instead under the pretense of browsing, hoping to regain some of his composure first. ]
That doesn't usually happen... [ Well. ] Not like that, I mean. From a hug.
[ Because it doesn't usually happen outside of very specific, controlled conditions where it's meant to happen. He has never functioned like a human in that regard; accidental erections just aren't a thing. Except, apparently, for when they are...? And it isn't that he's experiencing nebulous arousal that could be triggered by anyone or anything, it seemed like a response specific to Dirk, as far as he can tell.
At least Dirk doesn't appear uncomfortable... quite the opposite. But K remains perturbed by the whole ordeal. As he wanders back closer to the sales counter, he nods toward the robot version of Dirk. ]
Is that one of the robots you've made? [ Probably a safer topic. ]
