Data offers no immediate answer. It isn't a lengthy pause by typical human standards, but for an android, it proves sufficient.
Were it not for this incident, he might say he has not found himself prone to sexual desire at all. His related programming and physical functionality have been defined and recorded, but attraction itself is something he's always found difficult to contextualize. A base variable in the human equation that differs between each individual without following any set logical course. And often not relevant to situations as they are at hand. He is aware that factors such as physical appearance hold sway, but certain pigmentation or proportions versus other examples do not strike him as superior or inferior.
He does not typically experience a physical or sexually-inclined draw to others. Seeking sexual gratification is not a programming subroutine that regularly cycles. To his knowledge, no individual has indicated such a draw towards him, either. Until the virus. By a purely logical standpoint, he should have been capable of politely declining and escorting her to seek medical attention. Physical sensory input cannot reroute an entire processing system. It is not an offer he would ordinarily accept, regardless of its eloquence.
It does not make logical sense.
A malfunction?
"I am sorry," is where he settles first and foremost, eyebrows furrowed in the vague, almost-unsettled expression of an android which cannot provide an answer regarding its own actions and programming. "I do not believe that receiving the same offer from another individual would have borne the same result, but-- beyond that, I am uncertain."
