>Yeah, she’s flipping you off with both hands, enthusiastically so.“Emmy, Darcy was lying to you, that’s a rude gesture. I’m sorry.”
>Her smile fades almost immediately as her hands drop to her sides. She looks devastated.>“Rude? But I thought… wh-why would Darcy fib like that? What does this even mean, if it doesn’t mean goodbye?”>Standing up, you grab Emmy’s hand and lead her over to your couch, budding her to sit with you. What you were writing can wait for later.“It’s an insult. Effectively, it’s telling someone to go fuck themselves.”
>She frowns at the ‘insult’ part, but apparently doesn’t comprehend everything.>“Fuck?”>Oh. Right. You think for a bit, trying to come up with a word she might know, and curse the limited vocabulary her model was built with.“Uh, fornicate?”
>She tilts her head while looking at you. While it’s cute, that’s obviously not a term she knows. Time to go blunt.“To have sex with, Emmy.”
>She blinks a few times, and her cheeks light up. Apparently nandroids are quick to recognize lewdness, as long as it’s in their vocabulary files.>“Th-that’s… a naughty word. Darcy’s a naughty girl!”“I’ll have a chat with her tomorrow. What she did wasn’t very nice to you.”
>Emmy clasps her hands in her lap, embarrassed.>“Anon, would you teach me proper human gestures? You’re so good at explaining things I don’t understand.”>You pull her in for a sidehug.“Sure. I don’t mind. You’re a good student, Emmy.”
>The smile you get in response is all the reward you need.
