Once again, Gabriel was forced to acknowledge the fact that curiosity was an indication of actual intelligence. Why bother? Because it just wanted to know. There was, and didn't need to be, any greater reason than that. It was still a concept he struggled with, but V1 clearly had no issue with the idea at all.
Maybe he should start taking some direction from that.
If he'd known precisely what was going through the Machine's mind, he would have (fussily) explained himself. It was what made it good! The point of it being between two people was that both enjoyed it, if he just wanted to jack off he'd do that. The idea seemed even more necessary with the fact that V1 was a machine, oddly enough. The thought of just allowing it to pleasure him without any reciprocation in return, all for the sake of satisfying a bit of curiosity, just didn't sit well with him for a multitude of reasons. Not in the least because well... the question was 'is intimacy good'. Couldn't really answer that unless it was demonstrated in its entirety, now could he?
Gabriel couldn't help showing open fascination as V1 located those switches (for maintenance purposes he would imagine, why else would those need to be there), leaning forward to get a good look at the confusing collage of machinery and organic tissue. He'd attacked the Machine hundreds of times, he'd seen it bleed, he knew in part how it functioned but never to any grand extent.
The details within were nothing short of compelling.
"Do you know what feels good? When it's touched, I mean." He supposed that could be part of the 'find out' part of this experiment, moving to haul himself off the bed and approach the line he'd dragged in the floor upon their first meeting here. A gap had long ago been worn in the line, and he stood in front of it as if it were an open door.
