“Blue! Sky!”, they happily repeated. “Sky with clouds! Blue sky and white clouds! Brown trees and brown dirt!”. They were very excited just learning words and repeating them, speaking. Speaking was fun!
“Blue white brown!! Colours!”, they wanted to know about everything! Every colour and thing! They loved hearing about every little thing!
The android took about five minutes before it stirred, raising her head. She noticed she was sitting on the ground, and almost felt offended, if she were allowed to have emotions yet. For now, she could do nothing until she was told about everything that her owner wanted from her. What he didn’t say, she’d decide on her own.
She did stretch out, setting her hands behind her on the ground and looking up to Anti where she could see him. Yellow purple eye watching him.
Anti tilted his head at the android, surprised when she looked up at him, not realizing what color her eyes were.
“Do you have your own name? Or do I have to give you one,” he asks, raising a brow at the ‘woman’.
“So far my name is Nana.”, she replied, keeping watch. She would like to be allowed emotions, though so far she had to wait until he was “done” with programming her. There was little to do for her in the meantime, other than sit there and watch him.
“Mhhm..”, Markus hummed softly. He would love to have some sweets. He was very content just sitting here with Bing though, letting the alpha play with his hair and scratch his scalp, which was nice.
“Wanna stay..”, he mumbled.
“You can stay here, I’ll be right back with some donut holes, they should be nice and sweet. And if you’d like, I could sit with you and let you put your head on my lap, that way I can still play with your hair and scratch your scalp,” he says smiling. He wanted to know what Markus wanted, that way he could help him properly.
“Mhh… okay.”, Markus mumbled. He’d let Bing move, since he couldn’t really say no. He did want sweets, and for that he had to let Bing get up.
Arthur was still in the kitchen, deciding to leave the two alone and write some more in his notebook. He was still close enough to go to them if he heard Markus needed his help. But he highly doubted it, he trusted Bing to be nice.

The little spirit nodded. The clouds were the fluffy soft things! The white moving ones! He liked clouds! Clouds were very pretty. He liked everything so far though!
They curiously watched the flame move, eyes wide in awe. It was all just so cool! When questioned again, they looked up to Quinton a little helpless. How were they supposed to answer if they couldn’t formulate their words?
“Want to know about.”, they said and gestures to everything around them as best as they could. They wanted to know about everything! To be told what things were! Everything!“Ah.” Quinton nodded. Clearly, he hadn’t supplied quite enough words to get that detailed, but that was fine. Perhaps, he needed to go more basic…
“Well, you know what tree is, but do you know what all the little soft things on it are called? You’ve got them in your hair.” He explains slowly, gently reaching out again, and picking a stray leaf from the youngers hair. “We call these Leaves, and this-” He pulled a stray twig, “Is a twig, it comes off those big branches that you were hanging on.”
He lowered the items to the floor and swept his fingers across the green blades. “And this is grass, and its growing on top of dirt, just like your tree. Dirt helps feed them what they need to grow.”
Quint was more than happy to continue going through the simple things- teach the young one about the nature he was surrounded by.
They very curiously and intently listened to Quinton tell them about the things around them, focusing on every little word. So their tree had branches, and they had twigs, and they had leafs! And his tree grew on top of dirt, and was surrounded by grass! And they themselves had hair! They were very focused on learning, more than happy to listen to Quinton.
“Quinton hair! Up!”, they exclaimed then, still missing every colour. But Quinton’s hair had the same colour as the sky! “And clouds!”, they said, tapping beneath their eye. His eyes were silver! Kind of like the clouds!
The little spirit nodded. The clouds were the fluffy soft things! The white moving ones! He liked clouds! Clouds were very pretty. He liked everything so far though!

Markus shuddered softly at the gentle touch. It was really nice, and he enjoyed it very much. He stayed quiet though now, since he didn’t want to make himself or Bing feel bad about anything like this.
Arthur looked into the living room, smiling lightly as he watched the two. He was glad Markus felt comfortable with Bing, safe enough to let him close to him.
Bing smiled at the small omega, glad he was able to make him smile and relax a bit.
“I think the food’s done, do you want me to bring you some food? Or would you like for Arthur to bring it,” he asks softly, wanting to make sure that Markus felt safe and comfortable.
“We just ate.”, Markus reminded Bing softly, giggling lightly. He happily leaned more into Bing’s hand, enjoying getting pet quite a bit. It was nice like this, and he felt safe and comfortable. Bing was doing nothing but pet him gently, making sure he didn’t hurt him.
“Up there?”, they curiously looked up, to the sky. “Oooh!”. They stood on their tippy toes, reaching up. Giggling, they looked to Quinton again.
“Up up!”, they smiled brightly. That was very high up! And they knew someone from so high up! And he could do such cool tricks too! They were amazed already.“Quinton from up there! Me from tree!”, they giggled happily, hopping up and down slightly where they stood.
“Way up there in the clouds.” He said with a nod, watching the innocence as he tried to reach.. If he wasn’t tied to the tree he would’ve gladly offered to show him further, but for now, he seemed to be enthusing the little one plenty enough as it were.
He chuckled, nodding and encouraging the sweet little statements. The flame in his hand still flickering about, almost trying to hop like the child.
“I could show you other things too, if you’re curious, are there things you want to know about?” He wasn’t a teacher by any means, but he had enough knowledge and time that he very well could be, and he couldn’t help wanting to help the younger.
“Clouds! Clouds up!”, they giggled. Clouds! Were clouds the white stuff or the blue stuff? They couldn’t ask, not having enough words for it, but they were happy to know one of the two were clouds!
“Know about! Want to know about Quinton! Clouds! Tree! Up!”, they giggled and twirled around, arms spread out. They wanted to know about everything! And they wanted to know all of the words!
Elvin was surprised by the hug, but happily hugged her back, smiling.
“Oh! I would love to see them!”, he replied, curious what she might have brought him. He didn’t know a lot of things, especially from the villages. Sometimes people gifted the forest things which he took -and trinkets which he decorated his branches with.“I’m very curious.”, he said and chuckled softly.
Nox chuckled as she pulled out the blanket.
“Then you can literally feed your curiosity with the stuff I’ve brought along” she laid the blanket down near the lake before sitting down and patting a space near her.
She unpacked the food she had bought from the stalls apart from the chocolate, she wanted to save that for last.
“Help yourself, Elvin”
Elvin sat down with her, curiously watching. So she had brought him food! He was always curious about trying that, since he didn’t need any food to survive. He lived for as long as his tree did after all.
“And what did you bring?”, he asked, curiously picking up the bread, looking it over.
