[Self-esteem is not in high supply here. Though the alternative credit would probably be to the Kirijo scientists who built her, and they definitely don't deserve it...
"Useful," though, is a compliment that Aigis understands. A machine is built for a function, so something like that is easier to accept, and she turns her head back up with a more confident nod.] Her abilities are very versatile. Every Persona has different skills... Reflective of the strengths and weaknesses of their user, of course. She lacks elemental magic, which is a common ability of other Personas.
[Perhaps because the elements tend to represent nature, and Aigis is manmade? Though Shinjiro similarly lacked elemental abilities, so maybe not.]
Is that so, I know mechs are capable of magic. Her not having magic is reflective of your... nature.
[It's the closest he can say without mentioning manmade. Aigis may not mind it much, since she's... well, a robot built for a function, but he's trying to not come across as rude here.]
It is an interesting power you have, Aigis. Sometimes this world has its share of troubles, perhaps in the future, I'll be able to observe both you and Athena's skills when we work together to protect this world...
