ㅤ 「 I mean, it's my name. Go ahead. 」 ㅤ

ㅤ 「 Well, your best is really cool. 」 ㅤ

ㅤ 「 Thanks. Y'know, you're a really cool robot, Dragon. 」 ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe laughs a little bit. 「 It's why I'm a Maverick Hunter, as backwards as that seems. If I can talk to them before anyone else can... sometimes it's not worth... killing them over, y'know? 」 ㅤ

ㅤ 「 That sounds like a plan. A good while back, a robot told me... it's never too late to treat someone differently. To try and repair stuff, yeah? 」 ㅤ

ㅤ 「 He was the basis for all reploids. 」 ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe shrugs. 「 So, yeah, a little famous. But I don't know who Lunus is, sorry. 」 ㅤ

ㅤ 「 I feel like the amount you'd like is none. But yeah, I know X. No reploid /doesn't/ know X, ha. 」 ㅤ

ㅤ 「 Yeah, I am. Who's your friend? I might know them. 」 ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe smiles in turn, taking an... oddly long time to respond. 「 Dimension Firebird. B-Rank hunter! 」 ㅤ

ㅤ 「 You're cool to sit down and rest, if you need it. I've got watch. 」 ㅤ

ㅤ 「 Yep. Bird's eye view. How do you think I just so happened to be in your path? 」 ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe stretches out a jet black wing, and... ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ..those secondaries. Why do they look familiar? ㅤ

ㅤ 「 That guy thinks you're faster than you are, don't worry. He went back home, tail between his legs. 」 ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWhen @displacedsavior.bsky.social gets to safety, there's someone watching from a tree. Luckily, this one makes no move to hide that. 「 Everything alright? 」 ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThe voice is... familiar. ㅤ

..there he is.
