I've explained, sir. I'm not an engineer, though. I'm a doctor. And in my medical opinion, apart from having iron bones and being constructed by human hands rather than a womb, she's human and a person. All of her systems function like a human's systems. All of her thought processes are human. She can defy her ingrained programming in order to do something that she thinks is right - that she makes the personal choice on. If that's not displaying a soul, I don't know what other proof I can provide to you. She's not a slave to some pre-programmed responses. She's like any other person. She reacts, she adapts, and she decides what she's going to do based on what she knows and what she's experienced.
Do you really think cells that divide and form into your vital organs and skeletal structure are somehow intrinsically more valuable? That that's what gives you a soul? Break us down to our base elements and we're all just made of stardust. And that's how we'll all end.
Also, if you're going to be passive-aggressive, I'd just prefer you acknowledge that's what you're doing. I don't make your decisions for you, Mr. Estinien. If you decide to say something hurtful to her, that is your choice, not mine. You'll have no one to blame but yourself.
You fail to realize that an imitation--no matter how convincing--is not the same as the original. It was created, it puts on an act and naught more. An act you have fallen for quite pitifully. Your explanation speaks of our bodies, but not our souls, but I see this topic will do little but endlessly churn with little to gain, when you and I both lack the deeper understanding of such to fully make our point plain.
I am not being passive-aggressive, I am clearly stating cause and effect. Had you let this matter be, I would scant think to speak to her again, but you have dug it up once more. If you wish to side step your responsibility, then so be it. It's of little concern to me.

NEVER. Esti clearly has fucked up and called her her. 8T (No, it's fine.)
[He's grateful for the text. He can delete 'mate' and replace it with something moderately more respectful.]
Sobs I have betrayed Estinien's stubborn jackassery

I'm sorry you've got your vision on selective blinders, Mr. Estinien. I'll bid you good day. And leave Luna alone, you bloody git. Please.
[All right. Not his proudest line to end on, but for the love of all that's holy! John shuts down the conversation.]
