"Okay. I'll make you a shoulderbot and start contemplating design, although I don't want to finalize it until I know better how much motion of your own you're going to wind up getting back."

"What do you mean, getting back?"

Permalink

"You... got pretty seriously hit. Even if you can wiggle your toes you might have long-term problems running or bending in certain ways. I don't want the suit to twist you in ways you shouldn't twist."

Permalink

"...oh. Yeah. That. Can the bot tell?"

Permalink

"It can ask your doctor."

Permalink

"Okay." She beams.

Permalink

"And yes, I can put your symbol all over it and smooth out the armor some. I assume you do want it armored?"

Permalink

"Yes!"

Permalink

"Cool. You'll have a shoulderbot tonight and a suit in a few weeks probably."

Permalink

"Thanks! You're the best, and totally not a robot," she giggles.

Permalink

"I am not and have never been a robot. I am, technically, a cyborg."

Permalink
"...that's actually way cooler."

Sadde beams. "I'm dating the best cyborg."

    Jeannie grins. And then pauses, and gauges Sadde appraisingly.

"...what?" Sadde asks.

    "Does she watch you through shoulderbot?"

Lorica cuts herself a second slice of cake.

Permalink

Sadde grins but doesn't answer.

   "She does!" Jeannie cackles.

"I actually don't know if she does," Sadde explains, and hugs her bot again.

Permalink

Lorica eats cake innocently.

Permalink
"Why?" Echo asks. Glimmer looks between Lorica and Sadde and very pointedly gets back to her cake.

"'Caaaaause," Sadde giggles. Rewind smirks. "Oh shut up, isn't it bed time for you?"

"I'm only two years younger than you!"

"We shouldn't actually be here too long, the doctor says Rewind needs rest."

Permalink
"Rest, schmest, I'm gonna die here!"

"You still have your laptop," Sadde points out.

"It's not enoooough!"
Permalink

"The shoulderbot can bring you a deck of cards if that will help."

Permalink
"Gee, that's great, I'll be able to play solitaire in three dee."

Sadde giggles. "I'll come visit you more often, if the nurse allows it."

And speaking of the nurse: knock knock!

"I meant, the bot could play cards with you," says Lorica. She gets the door.

Permalink

        "Oh! Okay playing cards with the bot sounds way more fun," she says.

    The nurse walks in, and blinks in surprise, then folds her arms. "And just who do you expect is going to clean this mess?" she asks.

Sadde shrugs and the balloons are gone. "Me."

    The nurse blinks, and shakes her head. "In any case, Ms. Eoh needs her rest, so it's time you leave."

"Bye," says Silica, patting Rewind's hand. "Feel better."

And everyone shuffles out.
