Xephos nodded and took two large steps back. He hoped this was working. “I’m sorry if I got a little close there…”

“You did.” Hector whined. The gun was lowered ever so slightly. They really hadn’t done anything, they didn’t show signs of really wanting to hurt him. “What do you want?”

He laughed nervously. “To be honest, I’d like to get back to my dimention.” Xephos relaxed a bit and lowered his hands.

Xephos started to shake. He felt like he could trust him. He…. wanted to trust him. His head was ringing with a voice screaming at him not to, begging him to get violent. Hes lying. Hes just trying to take her away from you. Let me take care of him. He was scared, he felt sick to his stomach. But….

“I….” He took a small step forward, slowly pulling his hand away from hers. His voice was shakey and quiet.

“A-alright….. I trust you.”

A large grin appeared on his face as he opened the door, gesturing for him to follow. “Thank you so much… Come on, we can find something for you to do… I promise, you’ve done well to help your friend so far.” Well this was a very good start. “I don’t really know what things you do for entertainment, but umm… We can find something? Or maybe just do something to relax. Something… You know, /not/ this.” There were a few questions he had, but at the same time he didn’t want to become an annoyance. “I’m trustworthy enough, friend.”

“A-ah, um... ok...” After a brief moment, he followed after Evil. Xephos walked slowly,  halfway glancing back at Xephora every so often. He couldn’t quite remember what he did for fun, it had been too long, his head was too clouded. 

He shifted slightly, his hand twitching as he lifted it. Something in him was yelling at him not to trust this guy. “I….” Xephos glanced nervously between Evil and Xephora. “I don’t…”

“Come on, friend, staying here isn’t gonna do either of you any good…” He finally stopped walking towards him and instead kept still, unsure of what exactly he was to say next. “Listen buddy, I‘m sorry… I can’t leave you here alone with her, okay? I can help you find something else to do… I’m sure she’d want you to calm down and worry less.” Every time Evil spoke, it sounded more and more serious. “I’m only trying to help you.”

Xephos started to shake. He felt like he could trust him. He.... wanted to trust him. His head was ringing with a voice screaming at him not to, begging him to get violent. Hes lying. Hes just trying to take her away from you. Let me take care of him. He was scared, he felt sick to his stomach. But....

“I....” He took a small step forward, slowly pulling his hand away from hers. His voice was shakey and quiet.

“A-alright..... I trust you.”

Xephos nodded and took two large steps back. He hoped this was working. “I’m sorry if I got a little close there...”

Hector did not just calm down, not around a Xephos, each one carving deep shivers through his spine. “Why should I?”

“Because I’m not here to hurt you…” Xephos took another slow step forward. He was usually good with Lalnables, so surely he could get this one to calm down?  “Hector, you dont need to be scared of me..!” 

Hector stuttered for a second. He could never believe a Xephos that claimed that, it hadn’t ended well yet. “I..I can’t control if I’m scared of you, even if I wanted to trust you.”

“I guess that only makes sense, Xephos’ aren’t usually too kind to Lalnables.” He moved even closer, now close enough that the gun was only an inch away from him. “But I have no intentions of hurting you. You can trust me.” He smiled reassuringly.

Xephos blinked. “..Ah…” He looked back down at the girl lying stiff on the table, then gently placed his hand on hers. “Whatever….. she likes to do….?” He turned to look at Evil.

“…” Another step closer. “You should take a break. Have some time to yourself, you’ve already helped wonders… Perhaps get your mind on… Something else for a while.” Evil seemed more calm around him, a lot more than he usually was anyway. True he had a distaste for anything even slightly robotic, but at the same time he couldn’t help but feel bad for him. “This isn’t good for you, friend.”

He shifted slightly, his hand twitching as he lifted it. Something in him was yelling at him not to trust this guy. “I….” Xephos glanced nervously between Evil and Xephora. “I don’t…”

Xephos shifted, his voice trailing off. He stared blankly at the table, but it did seem like he was thinking about it. His head moved up, now staring at the wall.

“Fun…?” He spoke quietly.

“Yeah, fun… You like fun things, right? Gotta be something you wanna do.” He insisted, stepping a bit closer. “Fun… What kind of things do you like doing, Xeph?”

Xephos blinked. “..Ah...” He looked back down at the girl lying stiff on the table, then gently placed his hand on hers. “Whatever..... she likes to do....?” He turned to look at Evil.

For the rest of the day my muse is under a Truth Serum and cannot lie in any way, shape, or form. Use this to your advantage.

Now let the possible embarrassment begin. 

Hector did not just calm down, not around a Xephos, each one carving deep shivers through his spine. “Why should I?”

“Because I’m not here to hurt you...” Xephos took another slow step forward. He was usually good with Lalnables, so surely he could get this one to calm down?  “Hector, you dont need to be scared of me..!” 

“Do what you want, I don’t care.” With that, he was gone. The poor thing really wasn’t built too well, his legs were so heavy you could hear his frustrated stomping from the halls.

Xephos quietly shuffled back over to Xephora, still mumbling to her and himself.

“You asshole.” He hissed and looked at the two, a little concerned for all three of them. It appeared Evil had a lot of choices, but at the same time he wasn’t entirely sure on what to do.

“I mean…” Was there much harm in letting him go stay with her? Then again it may help him if they didn’t, who knew. “Why don’t we… Go take a break outside, Xephy? You can come back later, yeah?”

Using simple words and clear sentences seemed the best way to go for now.

“That might be fun…”

Xephos shifted, his voice trailing off. He stared blankly at the table, but it did seem like he was thinking about it. His head moved up, now staring at the wall.

“Fun...?” He spoke quietly.

Hector pulled out the gun and aimed it at them. “You’re in the dimension that you back the fuck away from me and leave!”

Xephos jolted and took a few slow steps backwards, holding his hands up defencively. “WOAH woah woah, calm down friend! I-I’m sorry if I offended you!”

His moved backward, stumbling slightly. “Your face is offending me.”

“Uh... sorry...?” He slowly lowered his hands. “L-look friend, if you just calm down...” He spoke gently and moved a little closer, very carefully.

Honeybot slowed to a stop, his fists were clenched tight. “Yeah, I used to think that too. ‘Maybe he’ll change’, ‘Maybe we can help him’ ‘Maybe this is working?’ Well guess what buddy? Some people just can’t be changed.” He had a grim and somber tone in his voice while he quietly marched out the door.

“…” Evil squinted a bit at the bot as if trying to read his expressions. It was clear he had been trying. “I’m sorry.” What was he to say now? 

“I don’t even know if I like the guy, there’s so much I’m confused about.” while Evil had very little knowledge abut updated science and machinery, it was clear he was curious about the two. A terrible habit. “Should I leave, friend?”

“Do what you want, I don’t care.” With that, he was gone. The poor thing really wasn’t built too well, his legs were so heavy you could hear his frustrated stomping from the halls.

Xephos quietly shuffled back over to Xephora, still mumbling to her and himself.
