"I'm not sure you could-"

"My dad is like- SUPER strong and smart. He's so smart he builds parts of himself so that he gets even stronger than he already is!"

⠀⠀♡⠀⠀circe⠀⠀. Let me know . 🥺

"Sounds like we are in the same situation then."

She misunderstood earlier it seems.

"I guess we have even more in common than I thought!"

"Must be nice to be free in a place like this."

She thinks for a moment.

"What is it like to be free? Truly free? Not being under the watchful optic of a higher power almost all the time?"

"That sounds really nice..."

"Wish I had such freedom, hehe-" 💧

"Um- Tell me more about yourself! And maybe a bit about where exactly we are?"

"It does kinda suck sometimes."

"I don't get to leave the house often, I actually snuck out to be here-"

"There's just always something I'm meant to be doing other than what I WANT to do."

"And my dad isn't exactly the best mech to talk to about such things. Not anymore at least."

"Ok so-"

"A looooong while ago my father forged me with this....magic rock thingy? And it ignited my spark."

"I'm not Cybertronian because *I was forged on Quintessa, which is the capital of my dad's union."

"You speak like the idea of free will is something you don't have. Or at least something you are yet to manufacture."

"I could tell you how *I was forged if you'd like?"

"I'm not exactly Cybertronian-"

"Thank you!"

"YOU are fasinating! And since when did hedgehogs come in THAT size? And I thought they were quadrupeds-"

"Um- I suppose I should introduce myself! I'm Xeinith! Heir to the CUOC throne."

"You are?"

-

She pops a squat to get lower, still being far above the others eye level.

"Are you some sort of..... I don't even think I can describe this-"

She leans forward, starry purple optics gleeming and widening in interest.

Xeinith is out of books again!

So, as she always does, she opens a spacebridge to a random planet and gets to looking for something to do.

It isn't long before she stumbles upon the tiny creature that is Sunlight.

"Well aren't you something?"

"I DID stay down and I AM injured!"

"I was down for 0.07 seconds and my pede got scratched on the rock."

"Ok!"

She zooms off, falls all the way from the top of the cliff to the bottom, and zips back unharmed but covered in dirt.

"Next!"

"Pleeeeaaaassseeee?"

"I'll leave you alone if you do~"

"Well GIVE some orders for a change! Take charge a little, it won't kill you."

:)

"Try."

"You CAN do whatever you want. No one is stopping you."

"You know, I recently changed MY look a bit-"

"I'm sure you can think of SOMETHING!"

"Come on!"

Xeinith would float down to the other, hovering beside her as she walks.

:)

A flick of her servo, the other's gravity is back to normal now.

"There."

"Then make something up!"

"Please?"

🥺

"3 tasks. Now."

"Please. It may not sound like it but I'm begging."

"Please give me 3 things to do."

"Preferably that will entertain me."

"How about I become one right now?"

"You get three favors."

"You know, I always though mechs with those kind of things looked silly. But I must say, you are really pulling it off."

"You think?"

"I must be some sort of bounty hunter then?"

"Or a hired gun!"

"Yeah, but if I was an Autobot you'd know about me already. Wouldn't you?"

"What reason would I have to lie to you?"

"I have no quarrel with you, lighten up."
