ALM0ST THERE. ALM0ST D0NE.

I H0PE Y0U ENJ0YED THAT BAKING VENTURE, DESPITE H0W MUCH I WAS R0AMING THE KITCHEN T0 MULTITASK. I DIDN'T STRESS Y0U, DID I?

⌞ His claws were positioned on the sides of his hips, looking down at their collaborative effort with pride. ⌝

⌞ Occasionally, he checked on the heating milk intended to go with the cookies. It had been warming since the cookies went in the oven. ⌝

I, UH.

DREW THEM. THEN I CLAWED THEM IN. AND THEN I DID THE CUTTING 0UT.
⠀

⠀⌞ His vision jumped from landmark to landmark, point to point. Navigating. . . ⌝

I D0N'T REALLY GET THAT SENSE 0F HER, ANYWAYS. SHE CAN BE FAN-GIRLY, BUT I'VE N0T SEEN HER TAKE TH0SE EM0TI0NS T0 A SERI0US LEVEL BEY0ND SURFACE.
⠀

⠀
⌞ H3LP3R chuckled. It sounded forced, maybe it was, but it could be as easily genuine with his speaking patterns. ⌝

N0, N0T THAT KIND 0F R00MMATE.

JUST A R00MMATE. WE HELP EACH0THER. AND THAT'S KIND 0F WHAT I'M MADE F0R.

⌞ Incase Sixer was getting nauseous or dizzy, H3LP3R was attentive to the little fluxes of her voice and step. He had a destination, but his priorities shifted in the face of how bad she was actually going through it. ⌝

⌞ 'Yikes'. Something like that. ⌝
⠀

⠀
⌞ The bot of course helped where he could in this effort of hers. ⌝

A C0LLEAGUE-SLASH-R00MMATE 0F MINE. SHE'S PULLING AN ALL NIGHTER PLAYING 0N HER C0NSOLE, S0 I 0FFERED T0 BUY HER C0LA.

I GRABBED 0THER STUFF, BUT M0STLY C0LA.

⌞ He noted the extra weight on his shoulder, but kept his arm relaxed. It wasn't soft, but there was enough give to the joint to feel at least tolerable. ⌝

D0N'T MENTION IT. H0W MUCH HAVE Y0U HAD T0 DRINK? AND LET ME KN0W IF Y0U NEED M0RE WATER.
⠀

⠀
⌞ Pulling up a bottle of water, mildly cooled, he offered it to Sixer without even a word exchanged to her. Just an insisting stare. ⌝

⌞ He still kept walking, of course. He had places to be. But he was walking slower now. Accomodating for the guest. ⌝
⠀

⠀
⌞ That tone. ⌝

⌞ It was something nearly engraved in H3LP3R's circuits to recognize. ⌝

⌞ Acting entirely on impulse, H3LP3R made sure Sixer was stable against him before he brought up the bags to level with his chest, rummaging through one. ⌝

⠀
I HAVE S0ME SIMPLE RECIPES, AND Y0U'D HAVE S0METHING TO SNACK ON IN THE M0RNING.
⠀

⠀
⌞ The idea that this stranger didn't have anywhere to go did concern the bot just enough to bother him. ⌝

N0 H0ME? ARE Y0U A N0MAD? BECAUSE IF Y0U'RE H0MELESS, I CAN'T REALLY SAY N0 T0 Y0U TAGGING AL0NG IN G00D C0NSCIENCE. N0T IN Y0UR CURRENT STATE.
