[AUDIO TRANSMISSION: ALPHA TRION'S TEMPLE]

Uh... before the finger pointing starts, whoever died, I swear I didn't kill them.

[Someone found his present.]

...Rung? I found a box with your name on it. If you want it.

Because there a lot of good individuals out there, Dead End, even if it doesn't seem like it right away.

[He smiles softly at the larger bot.]

If you give up on everyone, you might miss the ones that will end up meaning the most to you.

Never really seems like it, Rung...

I. I think I'd be okay with that. After a while. It would be typical of my life.

[Life. Acid storming on him all the time. As life did to those it hated.]

Trust me when I say I understand.

[He reaches over to rest a hand on the others arm again.]

It's your choice, whatever you decide to do..but I still don't think you should keep yourself distant from others all the time. You never know when someone will come along and want to be apart of your life, Dead End.

[Hesitantly his hand touches Rung's, although he quickly pulls it back. That. That's as friendly as he's getting right now.]

You think getting a job as a bartender will change things?

...I have four friends, don't think life will let me have anything else. It'll probably take those away too, sooner or later.

[Thats alright. It's something at least. And Rung's not movin his hand either way.]

Don't think like that. I'm not going anywhere. And you should have more faith in those others you have and those to come.

How long can someone stay friends with a cannibal?

As long as you want assuming you don't allow one thing to cloud your judgement of what else makes up that individual.

Are you sure that applies for bots like me?

Very sure.

...You know, you're pretty special, Rung.

...Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Good... For me anyway. I don't know about everyone else, but it's good. I think so.

I can't really have this kind of conversation with anyone else.

Well as long as you think it's good, then I've accomplished what I set out to do.

What you set out to do?

I wanted to make you comfortable talking with me, and you seem comfortable. I want nothing more than to be your friend, Dead End.

You are my friend... Figured I could trust you since you haven't told anyone about my diet.

I had no intention of ever telling anyone, Dead End. It's your secret to tell as you see fit, not mine.

Haven't had that kind of luck in the past. Like I said, you're special.

I don't think I'm special.

[The use of that word actually flusters him a bit.]

I'm just not afraid to give others a chance.

[For once an argument that Rung will not win.]

I do.

...Thanks for that.

[He glanced at the other, knowing that arguing was pointless and there was a touch of gratitude in his gaze that melted into that soft look once more.]

You're welcome, Dead End.
