[ It was one of those times where NOAH was still figuring out their way past the Labyrinth of the Ancients, and Nero was still lingering.
Today, though, he had found himself by the side of G'raha, when G'raha was taking a break. Not that Nero had been watching for it, of course not.
With a soft grunt, he flopped down next to him, holding a few of the tomestones that they'd been tasked to decyther. (Nero, honestly, had been asked not to join in this, but. Nero had waited until Rammbroes wasn't paying attention and stolen these ones.) ]
...You're all struggling with these?

[G'raha stares at the robot bodies- and shivers, a little. It's still strange, to look at these uninhabited creations.] Well- we might be able to make something, or find a good replacement in time. But this'll do for now, won't it?
no subject
As they leave the room with some robots, the wall slams down - like it was never open. ]
no subject
[good? bad? they'll find out.
G'raha startles when the wall crashes down- turning to see that it's gone.] …well. That's one way of dealing with that…
no subject
For the convenience of work, these rooms close when there's no organics within. Else we might get them trying to slack off.
no subject
Hah… I think having the door slam down like that would frighten me out of any slacking I'd been planning on.
Should we take them further up, or no?
no subject
You fine with carrying that, or... we could use them here.
[ nero no - but his third eye goes dull again for a moment ]
There's a break room close - upstairs, but not by much.
no subject
Upstairs?
[…he's an archer, so that's not great- but he'd rather be as far away from this room as possible.]
Well- let's see what we can do there.
no subject
There might still be patrols here. Don't want you to get decommissioned.
no subject
Haha… Of course not. I appreciate that! I'll take point, then- though you'll need to tell me which way that room is.
no subject
When I close my eye, I see... a map of here. But it's around... two doors forward, there's stairs. At the top of those stairs.
no subject
A map… That's a huge help. Two doors- all right. [he looks ahead, and nods.] They don't go for too long, I hope.
no subject
...Wherever that is.
no subject
We should find out! After we're done here.
no subject
[ As they get to the stairs, though, Nero narrows his eyes. ] You promise? It'd be lonely looking alone.
no subject
[G'raha startles for a moment- then nods.] I promise. I've spent… enough time looking for information on my own. Besides- we'll make it further together, don't you think?
no subject
[ he looks so very soft as he says it, though - different then expected from Nero. ] You can follow instructions, right? I can't work on myself.
no subject
[he takes a moment to process- and then nods firmly.] Of course! I'd be pleased to. [that's- hah, gods, that's pretty intimate, isn't it? Of course he'd be.]
no subject
Nero, though, seems almost... at ease, as he puts the automations down. ] There should be a button near the door to lock us in. And, Raha? If I begin to... act strange, try and snap me out of it, would you?
no subject
I've got it. [after a little bit of trial and error, admittedly! he comes over to look the automatons over again, with a nod.] Of course. That was… very strange to see- I'd be more than happy to avoid a repeat.
no subject
I wonder how we'll fuck it up?
no subject
[he makes an uncertain sound, shifting.] Whatever we do- hopefully nothing that can't be fixed. How do we start?
no subject
In these rooms, I'd assume there'd be a sort of... magitek first-aid kit?
[ (And there is, in one of the draws. A simple repair kit.) ] As for me? I'll be removing my pants.
[ ...and he does move to - his armour and his underclothes. Under that, though? It's... well, the flesh was ripped off a while ago, only metal is there. And his legs are barely hanging on. ]
no subject
[he searches, and- oh, there it is. -and there Nero's pants are.
G'raha looks to Nero's legs, though, frowning.] I think this'll just be in time. All right- which am I disconnecting first?
no subject
[ There's a clear joint where it can be cut though - the metal feels oddly soft when touched with the scalpel in the repair kit. Nero... really doesn't feel pain, does he? ]
no subject
[It's odd- but good; means it's easier to make the cut. He's got a steady hand as he makes it, frowning in concentration.] Right. The same for this automaton, then?
