In a lot of ways, I think XR has the emotional maturity of a child. It's not so much that he's recently built, but recently gained sentience. If he had been built ten years before, but still only became aware at the same time as in canon, he'd still be the same. Everyone around him are adults and have had a lifetime's worth of experience dealing with emotions, interpersonal relationships, ect. But XR hasn't. I think the reason people don't really pick up on this fact because he doesn't *act* very child-like. He likes to flirt and gamble, he doesn't hold any of the naiveté or constant wonder that, say, Data of Star-Trek has. He tries to act more mature or adult then he actually is…trying to pick things up as he goes along instead of just asking about behavior, and what is appropriate in different situations. To me, it's like he's a child in an adults body with a keen sense of the 'fun' he could have! I mean, if you where a male kid who suddenly woke up in a grown-ups body, what would you do?

Naaww but I've heard of it quite alot! He doesn't have the same personality, though.
Otherwise... :-)

That's just what your post reminded me of. I love it when XR gets all excited, it's so cute. :3

Again, like a little kid.
Off topic, but do you remember? "You do realize you're frolicking in robot spit."

Oh yes, I remember that! I thought it was just water at first. It surprised me that they actually gave him spit. Then again, they gave him tears, so...

That's true... I thought he just CALLED it spit because it came out of his mouth, but was really water. Well I guess the spit would be useful...
