[ 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 perks up immediately, grining.]

Found a way to get yourself inside it? That's great! What does it feel like?

[…oooh, two tails. how cute! …he shouldn't say that, probably.]

It's not Allagan - but it's quite adnyanced. [ The voice is awfully... cute as well, and did Nero just... nya? Still not Neros' voice, though. ] But did it have to be this blue?

[omg he needs to stifle this snicker. It's adorable… he almost can't believe his eyes.]

It must have come that way… We could always find some paint.

Paint? If you're not an artnyist, 'Raha [ oh my gosh he pronounced the miqo'te aitch before his name :3 ], why use those tools? No, dying the metal would make the red linger longer.

...I feel... a little straynge.

[please send G'raha help this is too adorable and he doesn't know what to do.]

Oh- if that'll do the job even better, we should do that!

You are… sounding a little different from your usual self. More… adorable.

Come, how do you think the Red Baron is so red? It takes quite a bit of time, mind yyyou--

[ Wait. Suddenly, he is pouting. With big kitten eyes. ]

--I'm not adorameow! [ ...He is. ]

Well- I assumed you'd done something with the metal…

[OH NO he leans down to scoop Nero up, a little rumble building.]

It's very unfortunate, but I must tell the truth- you are.

[ !!! He would brag more but now /is held, and. He lets out a little grumble out of his throat. ]

You could be lying. I am the strongest autonyation [ - goddamnit he can't stop nya-ing and meow-ing - ] of Allag. That is not cute.

[G'raha rumbles back fully, nuzzling a little.]

Not in the least. The strongest, and the most likely to take others by surprise when you show that strength. It's charming!

[ ...As Nero nuzzles back, it seems the metal does have a soft fur covering. But he still looks so grumpy. ]

...Charming, I'd accept. But not cute.

[whoever built this body clearly understood the need for nuzzling! Though it doesn't seem to be helping Nero as much, which is disappointing. He stays rumbling a little.]

Charming seems a suitable compromise, then. It must have been whatever the maker of this body had in mind…

…do you recall if we had a stock of dye?

[ Look even his tails are swishing and his ears are up and! Look he is happy. ]

...I don't think so. [ Look he's rumbling as well, but now he's thinking. ] I'll scan the storage ryooms.

[a happy Nero! He likes it a lot, grinning.]

Well- I suppose it's not urgent, but it would be nice… [hm. might as well start heading for the nearest room, then.] Perhaps for other things, too…?

[ Nero thinks it's weird being carried, but he is still purring and closing his eyes. ]

...I missed having eyes, you knyow. I'm still scanning, mind you. Might as well do a stocktake, nyes?

[this way he gets to cuddle Nero and Nero can focus on scanning! wins all around.]

It is rather an important sense… Of course! This way we'll know what we've been using, after all.

Cameras were eyes - but it's different. [ He says, with a little hiss at the end of his sentence. It felt weird - did this robot have programming of its' own, Nero wondered.

As he began to rub against his master. A beat. ] Are Miqo'te related to kittens?

[ he's never asked before ]

They still served, did they not?

[ohhhh hahaha. There's a can of worms to put your foot in, as G'raha makes a face.]

Well- the similarity is hard to deny… On the other hand, we can talk and be understood.

[ listen its nero, he opens all the cans of worms ]

And you're a-nyawwww... [ yes he just yawned cutely, damnit ] savages. But speech is important.

Does catnip work on you?

[of course he does.

G'raha huffs a little- the yawn is cute! But that's still rude.]

I don't know- I've never tried it.

...And we don't seem to have nany in stock. Disappointing.

[ a beat ]

It wouldn't work on me. I'm an autonyation.

You've already looked?

[…of course he has.]

Another time, then. [or- well, he'd prefer not at all, but he wonders if he'll be allowed that.]

Oh- you're sure? That's a shame… Shouldn't we both, if we're going to?

[he's gonna miss out on cute kitten sneezes this way!]

Why would we have any in stock - there's nyothing useful you can create with it.

[ Or so he thinks. Nero gives a smirk, before... thinking. ]

...Did it has a nyote with it? The automation, I mean.

[ Indeed it did - and it did mention there was a way to switch modes. What the modes were weren't explained, but... there's a button on the back of his neck. ]

There are some medical uses, I think.

A note? Actually, there was… Something about switching modes? Did you want to try that?

Sounds... curious. And if it breaks, you'll hook me back into the tower, yes?

[ That's a yes from Nero. ]

I can't deny I want to know what it does, too… Of course!

[he reaches out to press the button- ears twitching forward as he awaits the results.]
