Judging by their appearance and name, I have to assume it's related to the medical field.
Hang on- [ she pulls meddy back at an arm's length, clearing her throat before she addresses the little bot.
surprisingly enough, lorem sounds serious and authoritative. like she's done this countless times in the past. ] Meddy- Please state your specifications and programmed skills.
[ visor flashing in confirmation of hearing her words, the 'eyes' of meddy turn off and, soon enough, a list of abilities and tasks scroll into view. lorem takes her time to read the text aloud, making sure alex is in loop. ]
Monitor health vitals... Watches and cleans up after the environment of patients... Seems like Meddy can do basic things. From what I can see, it looks like he's meant to be an assistant of sorts.
[ Alex watches Lorem interact with the drone with a slight curiosity, comparing the robot's response to what he had observed with the nodes of ancient Allag. There definitely are parallels, allowing him to understand the interaction better. ]
That will definitely help us look after one another.
[ He's since become aware that science is much more advanced here, and there's only so much that his magic can do. ]
Is he up to date on... [ what's the word ] 'modern' ills?
it's beautiful with how i choke back my tears of its beauty
Hmm- Where I'm from? Most likely. Meddy would know about dust coughs, pneumonia, heat strokes, hunger fits, and things like that.
[ when she finishes rattling off the list, lorem frowns in concern when a thought suddenly occurs to her. ] ...I'm not sure if they'll be up-to-date with the fevers and illnesses of this world however.
It'll probably be different here with the environment and all. Even Meddy can't be prepared for that.
[ the aforementioned meddy apparently takes offence to lorem's lack of faith.
[ clearly favouring alex, meddy buzzes away from lorem's reach and floats towards the direction of the offered helm pets.
while lorem huffs and crosses her arms, the smile on her face and the fondness in her eyes is undeniable. she's relieved to see that meddy is taking a shine to someone else. ]
If Meddy has this much confidence in you already than I'm sure you'll do fine. I was informed that drones will be attracted to this they feel potential in. [ because of coding? a program that runs in the back of their processors? she isn't sure but it's happening now, she likes to believe. ]
lorem looks a little troubled at this point. ] I don't know how. I never had firsthand experience with them...
[ back on the lornful light, lorem didn't have a lot of time in the day in between paperwork and smoothening tensions at the watering hole if someone got too overcharged. drones were more of gearshift's area of expertise.
she now wishes she had taken time to see how gearshift kept the little bots up-to-date. ]
[ !!! she looks relieved to hear that but she nods all the same, making a mental note to look up this tony in the future. she's heard about him, she's sure of it. wasn't he offering classes of some sort...?
while lorem ponders on where she's heard of him, frustrated by how it was on the tip of her tongue, meddy notes the apologetic tone alex takes on. they immediately snuggle up closer to him, bumping their helm against his head - if they're allowed to do so, of course - as a sign of gratitude for his concern for them.
their visor blinks at a steady light to him, trying to send in morse code a thank you for his wanting to help them. not every day you meet others willing to be kind to them like owner-leeds. ]
[ The drone continues to show emotion, and it strikes him as quaint. Perhaps the Allagan empire had similar creations in their golden age, but all that remains on their fabled floating continent were monsters lacking the ability of conscious thought.
Perhaps, Lorem's world would not fall to that kind of depravity over time. He can hope.
He places a hand on the drone, careful to not put too much pressure on it just in case. ]
We'll figure out something. It'll be okay.
[ Both for Lorem to hear, and for himself, to affirm his own belief. ]

another soft headbutt for lore. ]
alex ascending into the sky on seat
I'm sure it will be capable in its own way.
[ Alex reaches out a little to pet it on the head, gently. ]
I was getting a little worried about my lack of knowledge.

I certainly hope so. I'm quite unskilled in the modern ways, but I hope I can learn.
[ From nothing, can come something. That much he hopes for, because his entire life (of five years) is proof of that.
He just needs to work hard. ]
How do we do maintenance, if any?

Maybe someone here can help?
no subject
There is a man called... Tony, who is quite skilled with building things. I'm sure we can ask him.
[ Alex already offered the use of his healing to the human engineer, so at the very least, they can make a deal. ]
I would heal it, if I could.
[ Said a touch apologetically; his magic only works on living things. ]
