The Wandering Tool (Ruo/Rosewater)

She nodded, acknowledging that she would be more than willing to learn how to fight if she needed, despite her inability to grasp the concept of what could hurt her. She wasn't ignorant, and knew it wouldn't exactly be a brilliant idea to question someone who had much more experience in this world. She couldn't help but be a bit excited about  the idea of having her "Persona" though, as it sounded like something she had never  even come close to understanding yet. She still hoped, however, that it wouldn't be necessary to fight the "shadows" Ruo had spoken of, as she did not want to bring someone or something else any harm. If it was indeed a negative thing, why would she want to spread it?

"I don't know how you would go about that, but I certainly won't deny any kind of help you can give me. It all sounds very interesting." She knew she should perhaps be taking what her companion was telling her a bit more seriously, but it was hard not to be fascinated.

There was a slight second of hesitation before she stepped into what she would be calling her new home for the time being, the same fear of the unknown poking at her papillon heart in the same fashion it had when she had thought twice about continuing her exploration into Yoro. It seemed to have been a good thing back then, as she recently learned that she might have run into the shadows she had no idea how to deal with. Thankfully, now there was a familiar face to coax her inside the building, so that fear melted away rather quickly. For some reason, it felt good to hear this place being described as "safe".

"I agree" she said in response  to Ruo's comment on her less than perfect programming at her creation "Though it always seems to me that there's an endless library of knowledge to gather, I can only grow with time. Hopefully one day I won't have to be a hindrance to you."

Despite her optimism, she still was very aware that Ruo was doing quite a lot to ensure her well being and happiness.

The amount of things that the fellow android had collected within her home was near overwhelming the first time Rosewater laid eyes upon it, as she had no idea what less than a quarter of these thing could have been for. She would certainly have to ask her friend about a great many of them at some point, especially before they planned to leave.

"No need to apologize. I've never seen most of these things before. It's very fascinating."

She could only hope she wouldn't accidentally step on any of it, as breaking any of these small trinkets would be a great same.

Ruo would wait until Rosewater traversed the clan areas free of the items and reached the small area next to her bed. Ruo would sit down and look at her. “Feel free to use the bed for as long as you stay here. I intend to go out tomorrow to do something with others, so I may not be back until the evening if you intend to stay here. I personally fear I may be gone longer, so you are welcome to stay here for as long as you need to. I only ask that you avoid destroying the place. Until then, I will happily answer any questions you have and teach you certain things,” Ruo said. Being around mid-afternoon, there was plenty of time to get her acquainted with the world, as most likely it will be easier for her to retain and learn information, being an android. In fact, by the end of the day, she could have a modest understanding of the world. If Rosewater did not have any preliminary questions, she would get right down to it, and start teaching her various things about the world. Maybe if Ruo did not come back tomorrow, she could survive a bit more without her. Ruo did not tell her specifically that, as Rosewater did not need any more confusion as it is. Was it right to not tell Rosewater that Ruo may actually perish in the upcoming trials? Ruo did not know, and the fact that she could not answer that question bothered her inside.

((If you don't have any particular questions, feel free to sit down and learn some various things and we can end the topic. If you still have something to ask, please continue the topic. I enjoyed myself. Thanks!))

It took Rosewater a few moments to figure out what Ruo meant when she told her she could "use the bed", as she had never had the luxury of sleeping in one before, so she was near clueless as to what it was  for. She then remember she had heard the phrase "Come on, it's time to go to bed" sometimes when it was near nightfall from a mother to her child. It must be a designated place for her to recharge herself, or something like that. It at least looked like it would be a far more comfortable place for her to do so than to lean up against a brick or concrete wall.

She wasn't very good at hiding the look of disappointment in her face as Ruo told her she was going to leave the next day. The two had just been reunited after all, and it was a shame to have to stay here and wait for her when she wanted to spend as much time as possible with her. She put this thought behind her for the moment for now though, smile soon returning to her face as she became aware that the two of them still had the rest of the evening to spend together.

She eagerly sat next to her in fascinated silence, hanging onto every word her friend had to offer her in her much needed explanations of the world.

(( Me as well. And you're welcome!))
