Ali frowned, taking Riley's hands in hers and stepping back to look the woman up and down. "You look wonderful to me, Ri," Ali said supportively, returning to the girl and letting her fingertips explore the mechanical nature of her limbs. "You seem to be every thing you need to be. No more...no less. Normal just means you're like the rest of them," Ali said, gesturing with a jerk of her head back toward the hall outside. "Why do what's already been done?" Ali mumbled, "Especially when you can do me instead?" Ali winked, giggling slightly, and kissed Riley's hand, feeling the strength beneath her lips.
