[Velocity's wistful, curious expression turns more watchful]
Mmm, no. If you were truly as utterly without any redeeming qualities as you say you are, I don't think you'd keep trying as hard as you have to convince me to believe in things about myself.
They don't have to be shiny, brand new off the factory floor goody good qualities, but neither does that mean that just because you've done and experienced bad things that you are now worthless forever. That's the dented part of your processor working against itself.
I completely agree! [She says cheerfully, letting him have his moment if he wants to take refuge in grumbling about it. It's almost cute! Is cute actually, but she'll hardly say so if saying this much got a reaction like that]
Just like it would be a shame to lose someone like you to circular modes of thinking. Getting stuck in the subroutines, you know? Sometimes it's best to yank off the patch job and see what's underneath, but uh... as a doctor, my advice to please not actually literally ever do that.
Probably! [she says with a cheerful little sway in her seat as she brings her hands up to drum on the table] Would you be opposed to my visiting you again? I like talking with you. And I'll be able to update you on my going through the logs!
[she's not particularly offended, it's not like it's the first time she's heard a rejection. she'd gotten very used to it before arriving at the R2, in fact, where people are strangely nice]
If that's what you want! [a smile, and a tap on the tabletop as she stands with her unfinished drink and begins wandering towards the bar to return her cube as she sips at it while she walks] Be seeing you around then, Magical Megatron!

Medics are too valuable to lose to something as petty as self-doubt. That's all.
[said like doubling down on that isn't literally the most predictable response. he's a real boy, damnit.]
