The fencing lesson had been going well, Syx was having more fun then he had in ages and this was far better then sparing with a brain bot. Emma however had a bad habit of using far too much strength for the thin blade, so when her lunge missed she punched Syx square in the jaw. His head snapped back as he staggered.
Syx glanced up at his cloud of index cards, “Yeah, it helps me keep track of what I’m doing, see the big picture.”
They were all well above head height, ladders and stools scattered around his space indicated the blue alien’s method of interacting with his mass of planning walls and the cloud. A hoard of brain bots flew past causing the cards to ripple and spin. Laughing as they spun around them Syx picked up a wrench, waving it at them before throwing it. It was brought back immediately with an eager excitement. One on the bots nudging ‘Emma’ and holding a hammer in its mouth.
“He wants you to throw it,” Syx grinned, “Careful though, eight is my oldest little devil, aren’t you? No bitey Tiger now. Play nice for Daddy,” he cooed at his creation.
‘Emma’ laughed as she watched the bots rush after the wrench, jumping when she felt the nudge of another that carried a hammer. She felt a rush of .. something. She wasn’t sure what, when Syx cooed at the being, seeing the gentle side tot the blue man.
Taking the hammer, she smile and tossed it, watching as the bot raced after it, her expression gentle and almost tender as she moved over to Syx’s side. “This is all really cool.”
A blush colored Syx’s cheeks, “Ah… thank you,” with an awkward laugh he tried to cover his embarrassment at the soft compliment and took her arm, “Come on, I wanted to show you the Spider Bot,” he told her excitedly.
