[For a while after the pages thing, Four found it hard to get himself interested in anything. After all the chasing he had done, he's still all alone. His family isn't here, and he wonders if they'll ever be here. He knows that if he doesn't give himself something to do, he'll slowly drive himself crazy by sitting in a corner and going through every moment he had spent with each of his family members.

It doesn't take him long to give himself a project. He has made a few friends here, so maybe it's time to appreciate them. This is way better than sitting around and moping all day.]

I have a present for you. I made them myself :)

Also I have a question for everyone else:

What makes something beautiful?

I have had a lot of time on my hands since the pages incident, and making these makes me feel [Less lonely.] good.

I enjoy pulling things together and making new things out of them. It's something 2 used to do with my brother and I. He'd encourage us to be creative.

That week complicated quite a few things, yes. Are you all right from that?

I'm happy you found something to do that's something usual though...

[She pauses momentarily, the sound mostly muffled wind rushing by. Better ask before she goes too far in the wrong direction or something.]

Liege Maximo's temple, correct? Could you perhaps give me a more exact location?

I'm fine.

[He realizes that he's just told his very first outright lie. As guilty as he's feeling, there's no point in bothering Elita with something like this.]

Yes, I have the coordinates right here!

[Which he should have given to her before, but he got a little distracted.]

[invisiblepinkboat]

[Since it's text and there's no accompanying video, she has no way of telling that Four is lying and simply accepts his reassurance.]

That's good, considering some of the things that seem to have come from that.

Ah, thank you. That will make things a lot more easy.

[Literally, and now she can just set off, more or less tearing across the ground; you'd think balancing on just one wheel would make her unstable, but this altmode has superb handling.]

It shouldn't take more than a few breems I think... ah... [She pauses, and while she can't frown in altmode, it's probably audible enough.]

I'm sorry, Four, I have no idea how that compares to however you count time.

I understand that you mean that you will be here shortly.

I will be here when you arrive, no worries.

Yes, I suppose that part isn't too hard to understand, but it does get a bit troublesome when we use different phrases for time...

[She huffs and then concentrates on simply getting there as quickly and efficiently as possible, which means she's outside of Four's room in slightly less time than she projected.]

Four?

[She'll just look around a bit before she spots him... Tiny and all.]

[action]

[Four is excited when Elita enters the room. So many robots in here today! He's delighted to get the chance to meet them all, and to inspect and compare them. So far they've been very good about letting him crawl all over them, and he's grateful for that.

Disregarding the hight, Four scrambles to the edge of the table and holds out the flower. He smiles eagerly as she approaches, this is really exciting!]

[action]

[invisiblepinkboat]

[Since he's quickly up at the edge of the table, Elita just as quickly steps inside and up to the table, carefully taking the flower while holding her other hand at the table's edge, near where Four is standing, in the off-chance that he falls.]

... It's as pretty in person as it was over video. Thank you, Four.

[She's holding it up, noting the relative fragility of the material used and careful to not use too much force. She's appreciating it more for the sentiment, colour and craftmanship that went into it, than the fact that it's in the shape of a flower, which really doesn't mean anything.]

I should show you something later that you might like; it's something similar to a native "plant" on Cybertron.

[She sits down on the single seating offered by the table, though, of course, at first making sure Four isn't using it for anything. "Plant", is, of course, not the best word to use, but it's the closest in the terms of meaning, perhaps.]
