Sophie stared down at the boy, blinking a few times. She then picked the boy up and gently held him gently in her arms. “Feel….better…?”

"Thank you."

Lambda gives Sophie a small smile,

"This is what humans do when humans are sad...right? You looked sad."

Lambda tries again, in the very least he will know the name of his possible enemy, “…Asbel.”

Despite his earlier wariness, he catches what seems to be understanding in Asbel’s eyes. Does this mean Asbel knows of Her, but isn’t her friend? Friendship is a foreign subject to him, but he thinks this is the right word in this case.

This being has warm eyes like Cornell did; nice eyes, even if they were different colours. Can he really be trusted? Lambda stares at the hand offered to him in curiosity.

“…Are you lying?”

"Asbel.” He repeated in order to help with the young humanoid’s pronunciation. 

He caught the quick change in the other’s emotions, his eyes having been trained to pick out small details, but he disregarded it. Anyone would be wary after a daze after all.

"Her—?"

"Emeraude." One of the creature’s replied, the voice blurred to the point where he couldn’t recognize who had spoken. 

"I’m not with her, but…"

He offered his hand to the small child before kneeling, eyes of green and purple twinkling softly. “If someone’s following you, you could come to my place for a bit.”

"I’ll keep you safe, don’t worry."

He feels himself relax as the power fades from red-eyed man’s grasp. There’s something different about this human, aside from the eyes; maybe he can afford to relax here? 

But how honest can he afford to be? He considers the question carefully. Upon closer inspection, the man should be frightening like the others with weapons, but he chose to speak rather than fight. He supposes he can try to speak with this human and if all else fails, he can make this red-eyed human go to sleep like the others.

“Yes.” Lambda looks at his strange surroundings, “Never seen a place like this before. It is nothing like the metal box I was confined to.” He realizes his human vocabulary is lacking, but it is something he had been working on…until the human on wheels took him away from Cornell.

“Who are you?”

In Which Jade is Entirely Unhelpful. As Per Usual.

[fodras-lonely-child]

Lambda frowns, bewildered by the fact that this human is taking time out of his way to question him in this way; the way Cornell always used to help him learn things. 

His mind flashes back to the 'machines' that attacked him and Cornell; nothing like me at all...

"Was attacked...by other machines. Yes." He concludes this, considering himself to be more of an anomaly in this situation.

In Which Jade is Entirely Unhelpful. As Per Usual.

"Well, are all machine the same?" Jade ask instead, keeping the water fonon coated around his person. He isn’t going to throw the first punch of course, gentleman’s rule. 

The hesitant voice that echo Dist’s name dispel the notion of it being Dist’s creation, but that opens up more pressing questions. Was it a machine created recently? Or was it from the era of Lorelei? It also doesn’t help that the robot seems to have a sort of childish persona, even if the power that is housed in it’s small body is anything but. Where is Guy when you needed a baby sitter?

"Di...st..?" Lambda questions in confusion.

Still, any curiosity he may have had disappears at the threatening gesture. He's not sure what that is, but it's strong.

Putting some distance between him and the red-eyed male, tries not to cower. He was able to hurt the ones that hurt him earlier! He shouldn't be so afraid! But he was...

"Why...are you...?" A pause, "Are all...you humans...the same?" Evil, his mind adds.

"...." Lambda stares at the tall human in fascination. He had never met someone before that shared his eye colour. Maybe he could be trusted, unlike /her/. Lambda tugs on the brown haired man's shirt.

Jade looks down upon the small child- no- machine. 

"You’re quite… unusual for a creation of Dist." Not exactly waiting for the little robot to reply, Jade began to gather water fonons in preparations.

[fodras-lonely-child]

“As…bel…” he tries the foreign name on his lips. He doesn’t like it; unfamiliarity usually bodes horribly for him.

Lambda’s eyes narrow, beginning to wonder if the cruel human in the wheeled creation had finally sent someone after him. He begins to feel afraid, but expressing such emotions had never bid him well in the presence of that woman, so he hides it behind a blank look.

“Are you…with her?” He gets to the crux of the matter, ready to flee, to try and live as Cornell told him to.

Confusion flickered across the pale lord’s features. “This can’t be right…” What did he just witness?

This was Lambda.

The one who occupied a third of his mind space while Fodra took the other third, he himself needing the last for some form of self control yet—

Here was Lambda.

"Asbel."

"I’m Asbel." He replied, before licking his lips—Face surely looking pensive.

[fodras-lonely-child]

Eyes widen with surprise. How can this human know his name? The name Cornell gave him? Seeing that the human seemed to be expecting an answer, he replies defensively,

“How…?” A pause, “Who…?”

Comprehending the human language was easy, but speaking it himself was still a struggle at this stage in his life.

:X

@fodras-lonely-child.

Send me a :X and my character will blurt out the first thing on their mind when they see your character.

Eyes that burned with the presence of Fodra and Lambda narrowed a bit at the sight of the humanoid.

"You…You can’t be…"

"Lambda?"

[fodras-lonely-child]

"...."

Lambda stares dully at the wreckage that was supposed to bring both him and Cornell to safety, but only he made it to safety, alive.

Death. The word was foreign to him, but an ache in his heart begins to surface. He will never see that- what was it again? Smile. He will never see that smile again; the one that made him feel warm inside.

Feeling the urge to hit something, he wants to leave this body behind and all the pain it brings him. But he won't- at least not yet, not until he explores this place that Cornell struggled to bring him to...
