A large bird flies overhead as Drelasa follows the road, and Bastion comes to meet her at the gate, heavy footfalls and the rattle of metal on metal heralding their approach before they speak. They wave with their manipulator arm, emitting a few more small mechanical noises as they do, and while the sound they make with their vocal processor is a four-note tune of boop-beeps it's accompanied by a greeting in Emeran popping into Drelasa's head. // Hello.

// What did you bring? They're excited to find out what's in the box.
