[If you ask him, he thinks the premise of any being piloting him is a ridiculous, gross, and repulsive idea. But he's sort of already used to the assumption that most people have that he is a "robot" and is prepared for the inevitable correction. That aside, there are a couple things of notes that makes him appear a bit less machine-like.

His hand moves up to cup at his faceplate, head tilting slightly- movements too lifelike and supple to be rigid like a machine. Notably, his footsteps barely makes a sound on the pavement as they patrol together. He's trying to listen in on any activity in the surrounding area.]

Seems we are about to... I hear a commotion up ahead. [Which Ryoko might not. While he's stripped off most of his hearing powers, he can still hear a little further than a human can. And after passing a block, the sound of commotion gradually becomes clearly and soon they'll see group of unruly gang member harassing an owner of a local bakery.]

Do you have a weapon for self-defense? I would rather talk them down first if possible.

[Sure he could just as easily beat them to the ground- certainly a method he had went with some foolish gang members thinking they can take him on earlier -but he'd rather not be quick to resort to violence.]
