It wasn't long before the unlikely pair were on their way once again, the little Velix making sure to stay close to its owners feet as they made their way down the street. It seemed that after that first, rather unfortunate adventure, he wasn't terribly keen on repeating the experience (or god forbid, finding an even more traumatizing one). That, and he was now considerably jumpier whenever they happened across a person walking their dog - one could understand his newfound mistrust though. While Pip held the notetaking equipment at the ready the entire time they walked, he really didn't need it at the moment, as Allorah seemed much more interested in observing what she saw than recording it. For the moment, it was all visual stuff anyways, and she'd probably be able to remember what she wanted to from it just fine (although it seemed oddly lax of her not to be obsessively spouting things for him to write down).
Normally, Pip would have preferred to take his notes electronically. As a mechanical robot himself, he was perfectly capable of recording sound bytes as well as memorizing notes (which also happened to be a lot faster than physically writing them down). Especially considering just how tiny his little arms were, writing didn't exactly come naturally to him, but it was one of Allorah's ground rules that all notes be taken in physical form for the sake of safety. After all, what would happen to all of her data if Pip shorted out, or god forbid, if someone stole him from her? Perhaps one day she would move to digitize her process, but for now, this was familiar and comfortable to her.
