"This is test #364."
The female scientist, He had learned to be called 'Raven Holmes', smiled at the man holding a camera.

"You ready?"
The man with the camera had been nice to them, asking a lot of questions, but he still stayed close to his equipment.

"Whenever you are."
This time, He knew what to do, He was ready.

Raven calmly stroked the top of His head as she nodded.
He turned toward the camera, at first He was unsure, the last few times hadn't worked out so well, he had began biting himself because of the aftermath effects.
Soon, He winced as the painful static returned, only when it did this time around, He stared at the camera & focused.

The static got so loud that He didn't even hear the camera's lens shatter, or the taping reel pop as the camera completely broke. The two humans cheered as the camera was destroyed.

"The audio is still recording."
The man nodded down at the taping set.

He knew not to touch that thing, but He was proud of himself, years after first having trouble, He seemed to finally get the hang of it.
Raven hugged & kissed His cheek.
"I'm so proud of you! Telepathy's hard, but we got it..."

He beamed at that, finally! Some progress!

The man soon packed up his things, sighing as he started speaking to Raven.
"So, does He have a nickname or is He just another set of useless numbers? I mean, since He's pretty much everyone's favourite, you'd think..."

Raven cleared her throat as she looked from Him to the man, her breath sharp & her voice light.
"He was, just another set of numbers... But a few of the workers have started calling Him some nicknames, I guess the only one we can all actually agree on is... Well, 'Slender'."

The blank room was silent for a moment before the two adults looked down at Him.
The man shrugged & nodded.
"Hmm, it fits Him... You know, skinny & all that."

Raven sighed in annoyance as she rolled her eyes.
"He's not 'skinny', He's perfectly built & in shape, gets fed proper meals twice a day."

"Oh?"
The man looked at her.
"What does he eat?"

Raven shrugged.
"Meat? We're not really meant to say anything about it in front of..."
She gestured to Him, eyeing the man as he held his equipment.

The man nodded in understanding, before pursing his lips & staring back at Him.
"So, you said that He was 'perfectly built', does that mean that He's a ladies man?"
The man grinned with a wink at Raven.

Raven blushed & chuckled.
"Not yet, but we're hoping. He's not a Buck, yet, still probably just a Toddler or so..."

"Ah, ok."
Soon, the two turned to leave.
"See ya around, Slendy~."

The two laughed as they were escorted out through the security door.
He thought of that name, 'Slender', He knew it suited Him, yet, He didn't like the way it sounded.
