Hello World!

The Defect whirs softly as it enters the Melting Dragon's domain. It finds Pael swiftly and makes a small bow, making a greetings beep. It seems a little damp... And scalded. And dented. Waterfall Giant? Waterfall Giant.

The Defect obliges, settling nearby with a gentle hiss of steam from its heat sinks. Resting with the Melting Dragon is already mending some of its injuries, so it'll likely remain until it's healed.

Hm... another friend?

The Defect nods, thinking on the times its cuddled up to Fault at rest sites while ascending together. More cozy than some may think, or perhaps that's simply what The Defect considers comfortable.

*Pael chuckles softly.*

a little later, another slayer enters the dragon's domain. It's another construct, a small one relative to The Defect and a little damaged from whatever fight preceded the Ancient.

Fault gives a greeting beep to the Ancient, as is polite and checks some sensor data on their end. They are still for a moment before obliging both of them, approaching Pael and Defect.

*Pael huffs, scooting ever closer to the two constructs. He grabs a neaby quilt and drapes it unceremoniously atop the Fault and the Defect. He carefully nudges the quilt with his maw, tucking both androids in.*

"!!!" The Defect approaches! It chirps at The Fault, happy to see it. "Friend! How are you?" What a relief it was to be able to talk to someone... Though, any onlookers would only hear chirps, beeps, whirs, and clicks. Unless they, too, were a construct, anyway.

Good! Good they did a good job! Fault wouldn't have been able to suppress the happy beep if they tried.

The Defect makes another scan of the scrap, then refers to the identification and status report The Fault had given it when they'd first met. After a short while, it gestures to a small pile of unassuming wires and some kind of portable circuit breaker slash fuse box. "Things like those? Maybe help connection. Spread energy smoother."

While parts of the status report were outdated such as the low power reading, a majority of the information was still correct. Fault follows their friend's direction and after seeming to lag for a brief moment, decides to take the Portable Breaker. They think about it and connect the dots on how it would work with themself. "I see. Should work, thank." It takes no time to start absentmindedly fidgeting with the Breaker.

"Maybe. What building?". It could be just about anything, they had seen what Defect had put together before. Really, it was impressive what it could do.

Their spines lay flat as they take a step back from tall friend. That response never did work for that question, there was no getting out of giving some kind of actual answer. Fault forwards the time to Defect. ".....Functional. Do not worry. Not needed". They were doing fine enough getting around the mental clutter.

... It can't help but severely doubt The Regent's plans, but... The thought His Majesty cares enough to comfort it is enough. It fusses with its cloak a little, allowing itself to imagine a world where all its friends remain by its side.

“Defect…you’ve gotten….big.”

The blind ascetic chuckles, giving Defect head pats.

It makes a bashfully flattered purr at being called adorable. It makes a few inquisitive buzzes, looking its friend up and down. She doesn't seem to have changed much...
