"If I wanted to destroy you, then where you live doesn't matter," Connor said and there's another ping on his phone. A city map. "This place is not that large. And going beyond the edge results in unmaking which is far worse than anything I can do."

....oh. It could also be about the environment, he supposed. "Its in the East, on the beach. And currently, I'm the one who keeps a child from burning the place down. Keeping a child safe was the highest priority in my programming at the time."

He tugs on the ends of his sleeves. More fidgetting even as he keeps his face blank. "The place has tools and its a safe place in emergencies so it would be the best place to be to assist in such times." Its convenient. It fulfills high level priorities for him.

He doesn't want to leave Hector and Miguel.

But nothing would be higher than his primary mission. "Its an optimal pkace for me to be, but constant observation will give me the most answers. If you insist on an inconvenient place, then I will deal with it how I must." He says it calmly. His LED flickers red.
