(Awe, cyrus is so cute.)
"The poor girl is broken. I decided to make her a special bodysuit for agility and invisibility. She needs to learn to work in a group and that she isnt alone." Sparrow sighed. Today's activities left yer exhausted, mentally and physically
Katya sat up and looked at Luna, "No, if you're asking something happened. What happened?"
Luna almost froze their like a deer in headlights, "E-Esmae got a little hurt, that's all. I-I was wondering if you guys knew or not."
"Well now you know," Katya responded going back to be buried in her blankets of guilt, "So go on and go."
Lina nodded slowly before leaving the room seeing that all the kids were exhausted.
(Someone should get Uriah's message.)
At first the voices were soft and quiet, the more she woke up though the louder it got. At first she just laid there with her eyes open staring at the ceiling. What the, where am I? finally she managed to turn her head and saw Sparrow at her desk and Cyrus standing talking to her.

(My computer just blacked out for no reason and I lost everything I just typed…)
(Luna can get it.)
Luna walked out of the building and out to the woods. It was always much calmer for her there than in the guild, just because she had spent so much time out their alone.
(Oof)
"Hm… I think she'd appreciate that. As soon as her wound is healed enough, I'm sure the medics would be glad to help her do a little therapy. I've been working with them some, too," Cyrus said, walking closer to Sparrow, "It'll be tough, but she's got a fighting spirit. She's not broken. Just down for a moment. And it may be a while, but everything's going to be okay, if only she's willing to keep putting up a fight."
Sparrow leaned against him "I feel horrible. All these kids, they are touch starved. And like us, dont know how or when to show emotions. I just wish there was something I could do. I can only make things but even then I think it's because they remind me, of well, me. And the memories come rushing back, ya know?"
"Yeah… I'd like to think this is a good opportunity for all of us to learn what it's like to be human, though. We're just as clueless as those kids. That just means we have to figure it out together, okay?"
Cyrus carefully sat near the edge of the workbench and placed a hand over Sparrow's.
"But uh… yeah, they come from the same place we did. It's kind of a chilling reminder, and I fear for what they might have been shaped into had they not gotten away."
Sparrow nodded looking back at her workspace "anything you might want to add to the design?" She asked
Cyrus thought about it for a few moments.
"It looks great already. How much protection does it offer, though?"
"Now that I think about it, not much. It's more of a stealth suit. What sort of armour?" She asked
Esme leaned over both their shoulders and looked down at the paper. It was tight and black. If it had ears and a tail she could wear it as a cat costume. "I'm going to go take a shower." Her voice was low, she still was dejected. It would take a while for the wounds to heal, it may take longer for the emotions ones. Her room didn't have a shower, but the joined room did. Was she ready to see the other kids, well even if she wasn't it had to happen at some point. Opening the door she kept her head down and made a beeline to the bathroom.
Cyrus waved to Esmae, but she was already gone.
"I'm not sure. Metal plates probably aren't suitable. Maybe something bulletproof?" he suggested.
"What about an electric field? Somethings that burns anything before it comes into contact with the skin?"
Cyrus' eyes widened. "You can do that? That's amazing!"
He tried his best to contain his excitement, but it was difficult.
Sparrow laughed, nodding "firstly, you are adorable. Second, me and Eira came up with a way to wire weapons and clothing in such a way that we can have electricity buzzing, allowing a second layer of protection. It helps lower the bulk that comes with bullet proofing and works 99.9% of the time. It took a while before we could wear the suit without electrocuting ourselves." She explained, putting on her goggles and pulling out a blueprint for the qoring she was explaining.
Cyrus smiled at being called adorable, then listened to her closely.
"That sounds like it would be perfect for this suit, then. Still light, but it should keep her protected. But wow… it amazes me that technology can do some of the things you guys make it do."
"Wanna help me do it? Or we can go out for a walk, itll help your peg wont it?" She smiled
"I'm not so good with that kind of tech," Cyrus admitted, "Let's go get some fresh air. It'll be good for both of us."
Sparrow nodded and left the table, stretching and then looking at Cyrus "shall we?" She asked holding out an arm.
Cyrus felt a slight tingling, happy sensation in his fingertips. He happily took hold of Sparrow's arm and left his crutch sitting at the workbench.
Sparrow acted as his support and walked with him towards one of the exits, walking at a pace slow enough to help Cyrus but fast enough that they reached the doors quick.
Cyrus was walking at a slow, but fairly normal pace, and he was able to support most of his own weight, with some pain, but not much.
"Well, things aren't feeling quite as bad now," he said, "I'm lucky it didn't break."
Sparrow nodded "at least you can still walk. Did you get a brace?" She asked
