9S can't recall a time when someone seemed this troubled by his death, save for one person. And that one person had loved him, which itself is vastly different. It begs the question of whether the Princess is showing this sympathy to gain an advantage, or truly finds a temporary death this disquieting a thing, despite her peoples' culture. Curious indeed.

The time 9S invests in questioning this is merely a moment, concluding with the simple resolve to find out for himself. What else would a Scanner do, after all? So he follows her gesture without hesitation, carefully depositing himself in the vacant seat she had indicated. "Thanks," a little too casual, as he had always been, but he tries to sweep it aside. "So are you going to speak with everyone who lost like this?"

This too is casual as he swings his feet, though he asks with purpose as he looks up at her. 9S is small by human standards, but his compact nature hardly concerns him.
