Connor tilted his head in confusion. "I'm sorry, but your comparison doesn't make sense, Steve. Animals are living beings, while androids are just machines. It's true that technically an animal's owner could legally order its destruction for any reason, but that doesn't make it right. Unless my handler ordered it, I don't know that I would do i5 either." Even if it was his handler who gave him the order, he's not sure...but he's not going to admit that. It goes against his programming, after all.

He doesn't really know how to respond to the rest, so he just nods and follows easily, once more taking up position a step behind Steve's right shoulder as is his rightful position.
