An interesting observation

Who: Zenyatta, Skyfire
What: Robotic roommates residence realizations
Where: Home, floor 3, room 4
When: Sometime after Zenyatta returns from his quest
Other: Possibility of post quest talk in later bits

Zenyatta spends a lot of time meditating in his room after escorting Hope through the caverns. He finds solace among his growing collection of potted plants, taking care of them, and softly laughing whenever he went to water one only to find that Bothi had curled themselves beside a pot (or whatever soil holding item he had at hand).

"Oh dear..." he says as he takes in the area closest to his bed. Zenyatta noticed that watering is taking him longer, but he is still a little surprised when he fully computes why that's the case. "It would seem my plants have multiplied once again."

He had this problem back when he lived in Nepal. His brothers and sisters loved to tease him about it.

"I do not know much about building construction, so I will defer to your expertise. The best I have done is repair work at the monastery." Zenyatta would be better with offering his input if he could connect to the internet and do some research. The study isn't likely to have the necessary instruction within its books. "Though, if you wish to have decorations at any point, I could manage that. I carved my orbs and have done other craft like things."

His orbs spin around him quickly before settling in a slow orbit around him again. Bothi climbs down from Skyfire's horns in favor of sitting in a sunny spot in the yard.

"Should we first see how far one would have to dig to hit that stable base?"

"Decoration help would be welcome, but feel free to ask questions and help even so. I'm more than willing to try and teach you what I know as well as build." Because why not? Skyfire shifted a little to allow Bothi easier access to the ground, smiling a bit.

"We'll have to find a spot to build before we can do any exploratory digging..."

It took them a few hours to find and agree on a possible spot, finally settling on an area next to the orchard that was far enough back that they could build next to it without being in the way, yet close enough that they could make a path from the main areas of Home and still be close.

"I think this might work location wise? There is enough room here that we can build without disturbing the already used areas and it doesn't seem to be too far away?" Skyfire thinks it could work, but then again, his ideas of distance were a bit off considering how large he was combined with the fact he could fly.

It's perfect

"Should I start placing these around?" Zenyatta says as he lifts up a bundle of sticks. Although, Zenyatta isn't quite sure where he should place the sharpened sticks into the ground beyond a general "this area." He supposes that would be a good start while Skyfire digs into the ground to see what kind of foundation they will need to establish. Perhaps Zenyatta can also mark of an area for supplies as they work.

"... And while we map this out, may I have a moment of your time on another matter?"

He hasn't forgotten what Hope had told him as he escorted her in the caverns.

"A general perimeter would be a good idea. We can't really do much more until I start digging to see how deep I'll have to go..." He paused and thought a moment. "We should mark off about twice the amount of space that we'll end up needing total for what we're building. That should give us plenty of space for supplies and for me to put whatever I need to dig out to one side..." That was no small amount of space, but they were far enough from the main areas that it wouldn't cause anyone any trouble.

The second question has Skyfire curious, wondering what Zenyatta felt the need to speak about that he had to ask first. It wasn't as if Skyfire was going to say no after all. "Of course. It's not like we can't talk and work."

"... When I was escorting Miss Hope to the caverns, she asked me about what I was. She said I reminded her of a people who were created long ago and have since ceased to exist."

Zenyatta gives a sigh that is uncharacteristically tired sounding.

"I wished to know more, but much information about them have been lost or hidden. And while Miss Hope did not say it concretely, it seems they were involved in war. And what she has heard, unpleasant." Singular, plural, Zenyatta can't say. Hope didn't know the details (or didn't divulge them).

Skyfire groaned and then let out a sigh of his own, pausing in his observation of the land for a place to make an initial hole for digging. "It figures..." He sounded a little tired, but at the same time, he wasn't going to get too worried about it, yet at least.

"Lets... not borrow trouble. Nobody has reacted overly poorly to either of us at this point in time, so perhaps there may not be anything to worry about." He considers things a moment. "We can look for information if we come across it, but going out of the way to search for it at this point seems... slightly foolish?"

He's not trying to dismiss the idea, but at the current time there seemed little point in stressing over it. If it looked like it would become relevant, then they could search harder, but for the moment there was little to go on and looking too hard would perhaps draw unneeded attention.
