”Oh, is that all?” Abby chuckled. ”I’m sure I’ve heard worse in the camp. But since I'm a guest, I won't ask to break Ava’s rules.” she smiled. ”Hey, wrecking stuff can be fun sometimes!”

”And it can be funny! But Bates takes it to an extreme! What do you think he did before I came in?” Max asked, sitting up so he could stare at Bates.

”I thought he poured oil or something on you.” Abby admitted with a light blush. ”Was it worse than that? Or do I really want to know?”

Max shrugged. ”That's pretty darn close. He put oil on the floor and poured it on my after I slipped!” He scowled. ”And that's one of his lighter pranks too! He is the reason why matches, lighters, needles, pins, safety pins, gasoline, and knifes of any kind are banned.”
Bates sat on Ava's shoulder looking cute as ever.Maybe not innocent considering he was smiling mischievously but cute none the less.

Abby covered her mask to hide the fact that she was trying not to smirk at the prank. ”That’s actually a little terrifying if those aren't allowed in the house.” she looked at Bates. ”Please tell me you didn't name him after the guy in that one Stephen King book.”

Nyt smiled a big smile. "Ava and I first met when she had just finished building Bates. I gave the book to her as a present and she decided to give him that name. And he libed up to it quite well."

”Yikes.” Abby groaned. ”You do know that story is the horror story every book of that genre tries to emulate. It still scares people to this day.” she sighed. ”Stephen King’s books are the pinnacle of horror.”

Around this moment Ava came back in. ”Sorry for leaving! I had to work out a few things with Eve. There were either a few bugs or hackers in her system. I’ll figure out which it was later.” She said as she sat back down, placing a small round disk on the table. ”What did I miss?”

Abby shrugged and looked at Ava. ”Not much I guess. We were just talking about Bates’ name and how he lives up to it with his pranks.” she gestured curiously at the disk. ”What’s that?”

Once Ava heard the words ’Bates’ and ’pranks’ in the same sentence she sighed. ”Yes. Yes he does. Oh! And this is Eve. She doesn’t have a body yet but I’m working on it. Its just her conscious.” She said picking back up the disk and pressing a button on it before setting it back down.

”Wow. Can she hear us like this?” Abby asked observing the strange copper disk.

"Not really but hold on." She said. After a bit a hologram of a woman popped up. Surprisingly it looked human. "This is Eve. Well, at least part of her."
The hologram waved at Ava. "Hello." She said. Her voice was deep and almost had a mother type tone to it.

Abby stared in amazement at the holographic image. She knew how Slyvian technology was far beyond what humans had but she still was surprised by it all. ”She’s beautiful.” she complimented, unable to think of anything else to say at the moment.

"Thank you. You are very pretty as well." Eve said, smiling warmly. "It is nice to meet you."

Abby couldn't stop the small blush at the compliment but was able to stay fairly collected. ”It’s nice to meet you too, Eve. I’m Abby.” she smiled back.

”Abby. That's a nice name. What are you doing here?” She said as she sat down on the table.

”Nyt brought me over to met her friends.” Abby gestured at her closest Slyvian friend. Though, ”friend” seemed to be a little too simple for them. Of course, they were friends but Nyt was also a part of the team of Ambassadors that they started. Her blush darkened slightly as Abby remembered all the times she had been practically flirting with her and the little kiss… not to mention the new nickname that had ’just slipped out’ last night.

Nyt waved at Eve to single which one she was, though she probably already knew.
”Are you alright? Your face is getting red. Are you sick?” Eve asked, cocking her head a bit and reaching her arm up to try to touch Abby's face.

Abby smiled and shook her head. ”No, I'm not sick. I'm fine.” she assured before looking at the group. ”Do Slyvians get sick? I mean, in a similar way that humans do.”

Ava and Nyt looked at each other. ”Well how do humans get sick?” Ava asked. Nyt leaned forward and rested her arms on her knees.

”It depends on what kind of sickness they get.” Abby told them with a shrug. ”The common cold and flu are the most well-known while cancer has a lot of… variety, I guess is a good word.” she tried to explain.

”Well we have our variety of sickness as well. What do you mean by getting sick exactly?” Ava said, trying to prompt for more information.

Abby shrugged. ”Normally it involves a fever, lack of energy, a hard time breathing and generally just an overall feeling of not being well. Those are the most basic symptoms including sneezing but that one doesn't always happen or mean sickness.” she explained as best she could. ”The symptoms can vary from one case to another or even person to person depending on a few things that I'm having trouble remembering.”

“Well we uselessly get a lack of energy, extreme cold flashes and sleep a lot when we get sick but that's for the most common illnesses.“ Ava explained.

Abby nodded. ”That sounds pretty similar to ours. Fevers can make us feel like we're burning up or freezing. Sleeping it off helps a lot along with staying hydrated.”
