robokaito:

“I was repaired. It was not easy, said the one to fix me, but I was repaired. This should not be a surprise. Humans repair all the time. Themselves, and other things. Like robots.”

Steps forward, only to pitch onto his ‘face’. Balance is silly. Robo pushes himself back up with only a scratch on his face, which immediately begins to ‘heal’ over.

Kaito watched the other, still wary. Preeeetty sure that, regardless of it being possible, someone coming along and rebuilding a machine that had taken so much trouble to stop the first time would never not be a surprise.

The robot falling onto his face hadn’t exactly been expected either, if the wince Kaito made indicated anything. And the staring at the scratch like he hadn’t received countless others before.

“…Humans can only ‘repair’ themselves to a relatively small degree, and none of us would be able to survive anything like what happened to you. You shouldn’t have survived what happened to you. And your face didn’t even come close to ‘repairing’ itself so quickly last time… …Just who ‘fixed’ you?”
