#Runa would try to teach her the ropes and try to protect her just because he already knows what to expect

Android Nova and Model AU please!

It’s more so an intro/build up for it bc honestly??? Elaborate more on this at some other point

CW: Lady whumpee and caretaker, familial caretaker, multiple whumpees, clueless whumpee, blackmail, threat of food based whump

Aeri chewed the side of her tongue as she watches the fae measuring her daughter’s powered down android form. “Well? What do you think?”

Bebê hums as they think. “Remind me, why do you need my help again?”

“I need your fae magic to help make it seem like she has her own magic. You’re the strongest fae I’ve been able to find so far and her brother can’t keep sparing celes’s magic with her without it taking a toll on celes.” She reiterated her reasoning. “If you aren’t willing to do that, would you at least be willing to head to the fae planes to find someone for us?”

They roll their flexible tape measure back up and smile as they stand up right. “Oh I’m willing to do that! For a price of course!”

The cervitaur nodded. “I figured as such.” She opens her saddle bag and starts to rummage through it. “I have some money, a few important family heirlooms,and handmade jewelry.”

She sighs. “It’s not much, but.. I’m also willing to give you my name if it means helping my daughter.”

“Your dedication is admirable, but you’re right it’s not much. I don’t care much for taking names or heirlooms” They say, however they promptly speak again once she starts to look crushed. “BUT!”

They smile wide. “I’ve been needing another model for my fashion business! I already have a mermaid and I think she would work perfectly alongside him! If you allow her to work with me, I’ll take care of all of her needs and give her some of my magic!”

Aeri’s eyebrows furrow in concern as she looks over to Nova’s endoskeleton. “That sounds too good to be true but…”

Bebê walks over to her and extends a hand. “What other choice do you have?”

She hesitates. “If I can get enough money to pay you an amount we can agree on, will you let her stop being a model if she wants to?”

They nodded. “Of course! I’m not a monster! If she wants to leave after I’m paid, I will let her! But only if she wants to!”

She puts her hand into the fae’s and shakes their hand. “Okay then, you have a deal.”

“Fantastic!” They chimed. Of course, they weren’t going to tell her that they could influence Nova through the magic so she’ll stay regardless.

Runa jumps as his room door suddenly opens, revealing Bebê and some half deer person who seemed very confused.

He looks between them for a moment before settling his eyes on Bebê. “What’s going on? Who’s this?” He asked, trying to hide the concern in his voice as he was worried if this was another client or customer.

Bebê smiled at him. “Runa! This is Nova North! I hope you don’t mind if she temporarily rooms with you until I get her room ready here, it’d be good for you two to get comfortable anyway since you two are now coworkers!”

“Nova, this is Runa!” They say to her, gesturing to the mermaid.

Nova looks to Runa, her vibrant eyes looking him over. “Hello” She started, still clearly confused. “I’m sorry, I’m still very disorientated.”

Runa gives the fae a questioning look.

They kept their smile. “She had a nap while her mother brought her here, I’m sure you remember how disorientated you were when you first got here.” They explained.

“Um, I do have an odd question.” She speaks up, getting their attention. “Would it be alright if I used the kitchen to bake later on? Baking really helps soothe my nerves.”

Bebê nodded. “Of course! In fact, Runa should help you!”

“What?” He says, clearly not liking the idea.

“Consider it a bonding experience! You two do need to be close for the job after all!” They chimed with a clap of their hands. “Plus wouldn’t you prefer if she made something you can eat?”

Runa hesitated, trying to figure out if it was a threat. Would he have to rely on her cooking to eat? Would he only be provided meat based meals to eat if he refuses to help her? “Fine.”

“Wonderful-”

“But it looks like she needs some rest first, baking in such a confused state can’t be safe.” He finished his line of thought.

“That’s fine!” Bebê says, ushering Nova into the room; only being careful so she didn’t trip over her own hooves. “Well, I’ll leave you two to it and to get to know each other! Have fun!” 

With that they close the door, leaving Nova and Runa alone.

Runa stares at Nova for a moment, and he swears he sees her eyes briefly flicker. Assuming it’s his own mind playing tricks on him, he scoots over on his bed. “Well, you’re going to be here for a while so you might as well be comfortable.”
