"Yes ma'am."

Permalink

He's faded almost entirely by the time she wakes Nine up, but the voices bring him back. 

"...Alright?" He asks blearily. He's speaking to Nine, but that's not very obvious, really. 

Permalink

"Yeah, he's alright."

Permalink

"...sir?" he sounds concerned. "...did I..."

Permalink

"Yeah. Not your fault. We're heading to Kincardine to get him a kolto tank now."

Permalink

He whirrs in distress.

Permalink

"Don't move, I've got your actuators all over the place."

Permalink

"Don't hurt yourself," he insists, waking a bit more in alarm. "I'll be fine." 

Permalink

"Sorry, sir," he says, contrite.

Permalink

"You won't damage anything I can't replace, but I'd be weeks getting everything aligned again. If I could, I'm not a droid specialist."

Permalink

"Yes ma'am."

"Did you..." he trails off, confused.

Permalink

"Cleared your ownership flag, yeah." She gets back to work on him. "I don't think we'll have time this trip to get you manumission papers, but we'll be coming back before too long, seems like it's time for us to pick up a second speeder. Daisy told you about that, right?"

Permalink

"Yes ma'am."

"...I..." he sounds a little lost.

Permalink

"You don't have to figure out anything right away. I don't have much work for a battle droid, but you can stay with us as long as you like."

Permalink

"Thank you, ma'am."

Permalink

"...Manumission papers?" He murmurs. 

Permalink

"Yeah." Her fondness is directed at Daisy, this time, and there's a little bit of pride, there, too. "I don't know if they're worth anything, really, but she has them, same as an organic."

Permalink

"...Never thought of that. Should ask Isk if they want some."

Permalink

"Sure, we can get them both done at the same time. Probably need a mind trick for it again."

Permalink

"Mind trick? Oh, I guess they might not want to give papers to droids..." 

Permalink

"Yeah. Probably better if you stay here for it, actually. It took me a few tries, too."

Permalink

"I'm not even sort of good at mind tricks, so. Yeah, I can stay out of the way." 

Permalink

"I can teach you, they're not that hard. I meant the other part. Where you have to deal with someone being confused at what you're even asking."

Permalink

"...Yeah, maybe I shouldn't be there for that, either." Frustration and disgust can pretty easily slip into anger. 

Permalink

"Not yet, anyway."
