[ If you don't know Altman's voice, the first few seconds are your only real indication of who's working the camera right now--there's about a second and a half of his face as he flips on the wearable, then the video immediately swings down to... track pants, running shoes, and what looks to be an oversized roomba

Awww, it's cute! Like a little robot puppy.

I think we have different ideas of 'cute.' [ S-shoves it away and holds it there with his food. ]

I wouldn't mind if it was an actual puppy, but I'm not big on robots.

Apparently it's big on you. Maybe you smell like robot biscuits.

[reunified]

I'm flattered, but it's sort of... unnerving? Can these things even smell?

[witchmaker]

Who knows? They seem to able to tell when things need cleaned. Maybe it wants to shine your shoes.

[reunified]

But these shoes are new, and I know I haven't stepped in anyth--Hey!

[ Yeah that'd be Altman stumbling and nearly tripping over as the robot surges forward tries to drive up his leg. He huffs and shoves it away again. ]

I'd like to think I do a good enough job cleaning myself, without robot involvement.

[ Not that her own mother has ever done that to her, but she's seen others dote on their children. ] Have you tried throwing something? Maybe it'll play fetch long enough that you can get away.
