[Markus does his best to be polite, to be personable. Partly because of his baseline programming dictating that a caretaker be that way; and secondly because he sees no reason to not be, despite there being no obligation for niceties between androids.]
Only that Carl doesn’t like to be fussed over, and even if he’s sick, I’m sure he’ll see it that way. But don’t mistake his personality or any remarks he might make out of an unwillingness to cooperate. It’s just how he is.
[Not that he means to paint Carl in a bad light; there’s an actual thread of fondness in the way that Markus says it.]
Please, follow me.
[He’ll lead him up the stairs, then, to the second floor, and eventually stops in front of Carl’s room.] I can wait outside if you need me to. [He doesn’t particularly want to, but he will.]
