"Conversational lies. A cultural adaptive greeting. I see." This phenomena is something Nike has witnessed in her strolls through the Nexus and even somewhat through the Tower back in Blaze's world. She has seen these dozens of times before.

To treat them as a greeting is easier to wrap her head around. To catalog and understand. She can do that, couldn't she? If it would help her blend in.

"You always reply with...'Fine' and repeat back the question.." It's a script, not a conversation. She can handle that. Surely she could do this! It's the other lies. The Expert lies, that wither the accomplished pride of understanding Nike had nearly let show on her face. That make Nike frown with concern as Harley speaks.

"It is not a game. I simply...need to be more human."
