“well that’s quite alright!”
“I shall supply you with everything you need, and I can escort you there”
"Oh that's fine-I've got my own supplies-"
At that moment, Ell's bot-well his stepfamily's bot-MIN came rolling up clunkily on her treads, excitedly holding up Ell's new foot
???: "ELL! ELL LOOK-I managed to haggle with Mr. Yuan-I got the price down to only 600 univs!!"
Ell sucked in a breath, embarrassed by MIN's outbursts-
"U-U-Um I-I-"
His mind was going blank-he couldn't just attach the foot quickly, these things took time-if he rushed it, he could seriously damage his operating systems-h-he couldn't leave like this-not with a stump of a leg trailing wires-he couldn't refuse he-this was the prince-and he couldn't...just deny it...........
MIN looked up at Aki, sensor lighting up
???: "P-Prince Aki!! I-It is an honor to meet you-I-I've always dreamed of this moment-"
"M-MIN! I-I-I'm so sorry-s-she has a faulty programming chip-"
???: "I am NOT faulty!! Hmph!"
