I DON'T HAVE NO FRIENDS

「 I mean, it's my name. Go ahead. 」
ㅤ
It's been a while since I've heard that from someone. Thank you, Firebird. Oh, can I call you that...?
「 Well, your best is really cool. 」
ㅤ
「 I mean, it's my name. Go ahead. 」
ㅤ
「 Well, your best is really cool. 」
ㅤ
Thank you. I certainly try my best, aha...
「 Thanks. Y'know, you're a really cool robot, Dragon. 」

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

( They look up at the night sky through the branches above them. )
I wish more people believed that. Maybe then, I wouldn't still be a target...
「 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? 」

( They sound pleasantly surprised. )
And that's alright. I wasn't very kind to them the first time... perhaps I should visit in, after I recover a little.
「 He was the basis for all reploids. 」
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe shrugs.
「 So, yeah, a little famous. But I don't know who Lunus is, sorry. 」

ㅤ
Is he that famous?
I know another as well - Lunus, their name was… though I know them a lot less thoroughly.
「 I feel like the amount you'd like is none. But yeah, I know X. No reploid /doesn't/ know X, ha. 」

ㅤ
… I keep getting myself into life-threatening situations more often than I’d like, now that I think about it.
「 Yeah, I am. Who's your friend? I might know them. 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe smiles in turn, taking an... oddly long time to respond.
「 Dimension Firebird. B-Rank hunter! 」
ㅤ
( They smile, sitting themselves down against a tree nearby. )
My name is Dragon. Who might you be?
「 You're cool to sit down and rest, if you need it. I've got watch. 」

ㅤ
( Dragon shakes their head to free them from their thoughts. There are more important matters. )
Well... thank you for telling me. I don't think I can run any longer...
「 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?

( They sound surprised, in-between breaths. )
How do you know that for sure? D-Did you see him?
「 That guy thinks you're faster than you are, don't worry. He went back home, tail between his legs. 」

ㅤ
I... I-I'm fine. Just... need to keep moving.
( Why /does/ that voice sound familiar? They can't put their finger on it... )
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.
