[ henry tilts his head at this speculation, raising an eyebrow in confusion. and actually he's having a hard time pinpointing what seems weird to him about that statement. henry does have a habit of talking to it like its autonomous, but in the same way someone talks to themselves. it's just thinking out loud. ]
He's a computer, Andy. You don't have to compliment it, it's not alive. And it's not... separate from me. It thinks what I think. It does what I think. Just makes it more organized. Out here, instead of in here- [ he pokes robobee before tapping his own temple, but that still might not make sense. if he was any good at explaining concepts like this, he wouldn't need the bee. ]
But because it's magic it can do things any other drone wouldn't be able to understand how to do. It just already knows what I want from it. That's what makes it valuable.
The next gen of those. They looked like a mix of gremlins with a baby bird. I don't think they ate, but they learned a few things and could communicate with other furbys.

[ obviously, since henry was willing to risk his life.
it's weird though, that henry seems to be making an effort to make it clear it's a thing, like people didn't get attached to their tamagotchis. ]
I had a furby when I was a kid.

[ like a pacemaker.
henry recalls robobee, which lands just on the shell of his ear, and goes back to petting the wolf while he considers andy's statement. ]
What is a furby?

I never liked it much, but there was a big boom for a while.
