[The pause in Spanner's work at the question makes it clear that he hadn't really considered the question until Shoichi asked it, but also that he's turning the matter over in his mind.

Then he shrugs.]
Nah.

[Then he goes back to messing with the controls. He appears to have reconsidered opening the shutters, as they slam shut again. This is so Gola Mosca can go collect Shoichi's things from near the entrance, with a surprising amount of care; Shoichi can observe this over the camera. Remote shutter control was one of the very first things Spanner installed; it ensures no one is looking in the windows while he works, or while his Moscas are moving around in light good enough to make out what they are.] I'll have your stuff brought here.

It'd be nice if you could act panicked when you leave, though.

[Mini Mosca moves over to Shoichi while Spanner's working. Unlike the larger version, this one appears to actually walk. There's a whirring noise, and then it lifts one finger to point at Shoichi's face.

And out of the end of it pops a pink lollipop.]


Want one? [Spanner asks this without even turning around to look at what Mini Mosca's doing. Either he knows Mini Mosca's AI intimately, he recognizes the sound of Mini Mosca's inner workings, or both. Given that he undoubtedly made both, 'both' seems like the smart guess.] I make my own lollipops.
