He tried to get up, but something was in bed with him. He pushed the sheets back carefully, and was stunned to find Furry curled up in a little ball. He eased himself out of bed with excessive care, padding over to the bathroom and closing the door before he fumbled for the light. "Is there an AI here?" he asked quietly. "I am here, and my name is Sean." "Is my mother aware that Jofuran Shigokai is in my bedroom?" "Not that I know of. Jofuran's parents know. Is that a concern to you?" Nickolai paused for a moment. "No," he said finally. "That's okay." "Would you like me to assist in preventing your mother from discovering this fact?" "Can you?" "Within limits, yes," the AI replied. Nickolai thought the voice was particularly amused. "Then please do," he said, silently. He relieved himself quickly, feeling a little disturbed that the AI could hear the trickle. "Sean?" he asked quickly. "Yes, Nickolai?" "Can you see me?" "Of course. Would you like me to disable cameras? I can if you so require." "Would I know the difference?"

"Disabling the camera technically means that I will not remember what happens before them; I will not be allowed to keep or recollect the events I see before quote disabled unquote cameras." "You can't just turn them off?" Kolya asked. "No; I am required to monitor events in order to prevent you from being hurt or hurting others." "This means you have to watch me piss?" "I will be when you do. I don't remember you doing so." "I just did." "As I said, I don't remember you doing so. |
