No, no, there's no need for you to apologize! Even if the door was unlocked, it was still my mistake to entire without taking proper care.

[ This...could very easily start going in circles. In the meantime, the descended to the ground, in case staying where they were would be overstaying their welcome. Well, overstaying more than they already had, anyway. ]

[fluffyharpy]

Let's cut the difference and say we both goofed up.

[She smiled awkwardly while trying to keep the situation as light and breezy as possible.]

So welcome to my apartment, I guess. I'm Lysandra.

[begetblue]

Oh! Yes, of course. [ They still felt a bit guilty, but Lysandra saying that was at least enough for them to realize the social implication. ]

My name is Turing. [ smile! ] I wish it could have been under better circumstances, but it's nice to meet you! Thank you for welcoming me regardless.

[fluffyharpy]

[Lysandra giggled. This was a strange situation but there was never a bad time to meet someone new.]

Same! I have a question, though. Are you a robot? I've never seen one in person.

[begetblue]

Yes, I am. I'm noticing that is a common theme among the people here.

[ Being one of the few robots was one thing, but being one of the few robots in a place where a significant number of the population saw you as...well, something strange, was a bit alienating. ]

Is my presence in this world startling for some people, I wonder?

[fluffyharpy]

It isn't really startling, we just don't have robots like you where I'm from. So...it's just different?

[She was different herself and knew the feeling, making her sigh after speaking.]

I get a similiar response too. Despite my appearence, I'm actually a human and that seems to shock some people.

[begetblue]

I see... We seem to be in the same boat, as they say. Or similar boats, at least?

[ They linked their fingers together in thought. ]

If you would like to talk about it more at some point, please feel free to contact me!

[fluffyharpy]

I'd love to actually. We'll just have to meet in a place we actually plan next time.

[begetblue]

Ah, yes. That would be an improvement. [ The sheepishness remained, but they avoided apologizing again. Progress! ]

I will try not to fall asleep in another person's room next time as well.
