"Okay now this you should remember."

"But it's so hard.." Robin sighed with a whine.

"It's not hard if you will study, you have to use your chest to speak it, so stop slouching so much." I softly pushed up her fragile body a bit with my mechanical arm to better her posture.

"Yes but half of the o looking stuff looks like the other o looking stuff!" 

"None of them look like "o"'s Robin." I chuckle as I looked at the language I remembered so dearly.

"Damn it this is hard!" Robin groans as she flops back, I caught her immediately in my arms, she did look a little tired.

"I see, we should stop then-" I nodded softly as I spoke but was interrupted by Robin "No I can do it." She proudly stated as she went over to the stand in which data flowed through, I was teaching her how to type in my language as a lesson. 

She tried to push herself up to look at the letters flashing before her, I moved behind her gently cupping her hand in my robotic hand. "Calm down first." I whispered softly to Robin, trying to calm her so she could see what the text was saying. Her face changed color as she nods. "That says--Inform!--Right?" Robin says happily after reading the text. I nodded "Indeed. You are quite accurate." I let go of her as I walked over to the side of the room where there was a glass containment holding my green pillow.

Robin walks over curiously "Say why is the pillow I gave you in..some sort of--mini fabricator?" 

I chuckle. "It's what you can call a "Safe" I assume, rather I call it a containment, it contains rather the consistency of this soft not very durable cooling mechanism that makes it easier for myself in hibernation or  meditation." 

Robin stared at me for a while "You know I was also going to say you have become understandable recently but can you at least just say you want to keep the cooling pillow in a glass case?" 

"...Noted; I want to keep the cooling pillow in a glass case." I repeated as she told. She slaps her forehead with her hand.

"Careful Robin you wouldn't want to injure your cerebral cortex." I bent down to try and make sure that her head was alright. 

"Right Right fine.." Robin sighs heavily. "You know what--Do you want to take more humane lessons?" 

"Humane lessons?" I tilted my head curious on what she meant by this. Robin nods as she rummages through her pockets. "Let's try out some humane entertainment, and if you want I'll make some coffee once we get to my place" 

"COFFEE?" I Chirped and expressed my gratitude by chrips and soft chitters. 

"--Al-an did you just make a Warper sound?" Robin stared at me wide eyed. 

"Of course not though it might be quite familiar to a Warper this is Precursor sounds trust me." I looked down at Robin, I was quite surprised that she even knew of Warpers since it has been a while since they were even around well knowing that I couldn't communicate with them. 

"It was kinda Cute." Robin smirked as if she was trying to see a reaction from me, I picked her up. "We do not use those words." I muttered as I then dashed off to her Habitat. Only thing I needed was that coffee.

×××××

We made it to the Habitat and Robin jumped out my arms almost injured her ligaments in her Articulatio Talocruralis.

"Careful Robin you may tear the ligaments in your Articulatio Talocruralis." I stared at her with slight concern.

"You mean my Ankle? Well don't worry it happens often." Robin says arrogantly as she giggled.

"That would be devastating during a crisis will it not?" I answered as I tilted my head with curiosity, I knew humans were fragile but thinking about the strain on a leg wouldn't it be hard to swim let alone stand? In a place like this... you can't just harm yourself easily and pass it as a regularity.

"Yeah it won't be any sort of help for me but it's alright Al-an, I'm tough." Robin assured me however I didn't feel much assured.

I nodded however, though I didn't agree that I shouldn't worry, I knew her being tough was true.

"So I'm going to make you soomme coffee!" Robin says as she giggled and walked off. I followed interested in the making of coffee.

She started to boil the water in a container as I would watch nearby, holding onto a cup which said "I <3 Coffee" Robin lent it to me. She said it "fit" me though I have no clue how it is physically possible to use this tiny object as garments.

I stared watching her intently as she would then pour it into my cup with dark crumbs at the bottom, the water mixed with the dark crumbs turning it into a dark black color, I chirped softly surprised.

The times I've been with Robin I always learned somethibg new I never learned before, It's true my species always learned about many things and even dug deeper into the knowledge of those things however...this knowledge  that Robin gave me. I haven't seen or heard before in my life. It was extraordinary.

After it was done mixing Robun added some white powder and cream (which I learned from when I accidently slammed into the fridge and cream sprayed all over me-), she then poured a slight bit of milk before handing me my mug.

I closed my eyes "drinking" it as I felt the bliss tingle in my body. I wonder if it was the fact that I liked Coffee or the fact I like it when Robin made it for me.
