[ooc- Sorry some of my notifs got messed up in my inbox]
The way she reacts to his request makes him think he's making some progress here. She's learning slowly she can trust him. He had to believe that this attention and compassion would benefit them both eventually. She seemed a bit like one of those abused animals at a shelter who needs a good, kind home but is too scared to trust her new owner. At least, that's the metaphor he'd heard from other people. He has never had any interest in a pet in his whole life. Why have a pet when you can have a robot?
Anyway, he was curious about her question. It had nothing to do with what he'd just said. Either she didn't believe he would protect her or she didn't want him to. He was just going to have to prove himself and that relying on him would only be a good thing.
"Ship? Is that how you view this vehicle?" He considers that a moment before smirking and nodding. If he didn't know what a train was, he could see why she'd equate it to a ship. He has to give her props for coming up with that one. "Yes, although I've never seen one going through the void like this one. I didn't even know there was a void before I got here. Trains, though, are something common in my world. In fact, their technology is considered rather primative where I'm from. We have 'ships' that fly and some small ships called cars that just about everyone owns."
