[Connor is able to find the humor there easily enough, even if the small hint of a smile he gives with his words is more sad than anything else. Yes, it's ironic, and maybe being in this position is what he deserves for not realizing what he was doing sooner.
The second question is more unexpected and his eyebrows furrow, head tilting a quick movement before he returns to a more neutral expression once again.]

[She means about deviancy, he knows, but... He isn't sure, now, if there is an underlying cause. Maybe it's really just an error in the code that tricks even the android themselves into believing they're alive. Maybe it truly is the spontaneous emergence of consciousness, and a send of self. Maybe it's something else, something more, or something less.
He doesn't know, and he isn't sure anyone does or ever will. But he closes his eyes a moment, taking the second to think, before offering more of an actual answer.]
