Smile. "Do you want to go there now?"

The elemental is quiet for a couple of moments, before cautiously nodding. "I- okay."

Felix beckons the elemental to follow him outside.

The mecha clanks back to life and follows after Felix.

Felix leads him to their settlement. The walls and watch towers are being built as their speak. In fact they can see as the main structure of one of the towers materializing as the workers will it to. Meanwhile, another group of workers is cutting down the trees to eliminate cover, the timber is gathered in a pile and slowly dissolves into a blue fog.

A tall and spindly winged humanoid lands behind the city's gates. Her skin is very pale with purple accents, and her hair and eyes are a violet-pink that almost glows. She makes her way towards Felix. "New friend?"

The mecha seems to make itself smaller at her presence.

"Aw, I am sorry. I didn't mean to intimidate you. I am Felix's friend."

"H-Hi. I- no. It's- okay?"

"It is! Don't worry."

The fire elemental's head pokes out the side of the mecha, and then it scurries down the mecha's arms again, sitting up on the end of the 'hand'.

"Awww, you're so cute."

That gets a startled blink. "I- thank you?"

"You're welcome."

"You are cute. Do you want to come inside the settlement?" He waves at the gates.

Pause, somehow watching the settlement, and then the elemental nods.

They guide the elemental inside. Where people are busy at work.

And it's an interestingly diverse array of people. Not only from different factions like humans, goblins and elves, but also beings that didn't usually belong to any faction, like trolls, lizardmen, minotaurs and even a couple of harpies.

The elemental vanishes back inside the mecha, clearly a little overwhelmed by the number of people, but lets them guide it.

A bit worrying, but they don't comment. Felix points at places where they plan to expand the settlement. If this world proves itself to be empty besides them the plan is turning it into a farming world with a small magic academy.

The elemental is definitely curious about it, and is listening attentively.

As it might be noticeable, they have a really diverse crew here, many are people that Felix recruited and joined their faction because they wanted a more peaceful life or wanted to eventually become Heroes like Felix and Perseverance.

...And our friendly Elemental.

-Confusion? The elemental isn't a hero - can't be, just a battery, that's all-

"I think you're... an accidental hero. I know the feeling."

"-how can you tell?"
