[Dist notices how fast Ion could learn, and his brow shot up with fascination. Just barely a day or so 'old' and already he could comprehend speech, could stand, and even walk to a degree...truly astonishing. Ion wasn't like most replicas. He must have been - for lack of a better term - installed with a certain level of intellect. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. It still struck a terrible resemblance to caring for a small child, but...it couldn't be so bad. And once he got Ion back to Nephry, she could care for him.
That's what he hoped for, at least. Dist cracked a smile, despite himself, as Ion progressed, and then it was gone a second later. Rrgh, stupid emotions! Stupid Malnosso, putting him in this situation, curse them for every thing that they did to him!]

...Good. Keep walking.
