"I have never understood that phrase. One experiences love or one does not. Making it, the act of creation- unless connected to procreation which is not at all a concern with two men, is odd. Express love would be more appropriate but that is done in more socially appropriate means-" It seems that like the fidgeting, Delta likewise picked up York's tenancy to ramble when nervous. As he did earlier he catches himself.

Quietly, then. "I want-"

And is that not a dangerous thing, for an AI to want? To have independent desires? Yet here they are. "I want to experience what he feels when he looks at you while you are...integrated."

'Making love' makes no sense, 'having sex' falls shy, 'fucking' is base and as far from what he wants as possible. Integrated is clinical but- appropriate.
