"Oh . . . no I don't need any food, thank you."

He patted them on the back. "It'll be alright, what did it look like?"

“It was black,” he sniffled. “Black and purple. It was for Becky.”

With yet another straight face, Sain says, “Yes yes yes.”

“[If you share some vocal range or cognates with English, please repeat the phrase. If this is a prank, stop. It’s not funny; it is a waste of time to play practical jokes on translator AI. If this is somehow a misunderstanding, repeat your query to a sapient or a more sophisticated AI, assuming you understand this.]”

"I see, well, finding a purple flower shouldn't be too hard." He took Bad's hand. "Let's go look, alright?"

Timothie quacked three times.

Sain grins and says again, “Yes yes yes”

After the blob is done speaking with Timothie:
“You… are… so… stupid….

Stupid: The loss of the ability to think”

“[Good. Please repeat ‘I am confused’ three times.]” The blob is just sitting there, listening to you talk to their translator. 

Timothie quacked three times. This would likely grow very dull, but he was a duck and didn't care. He nibbled absentmindedly on his bread slice.

The blob isn’t speaking to him, the translator is. It talks in [square brackets] and, although neither vary their tone much and both come from the speaker, sounds different than the blob’s statements. The translator repeats  the statement in English, then relays them to the blob. “Yes. This is because I was exploded. I lost some ability to think.”

“[Good. I will now list common words. Say them three times in your language to provide a sample for natural tone variation. If at any time you are confused, say you are confused.]” The translator then proceeds to do so, listing useful words for Timothie to translate.

The duck follows, quacking three times for each word.

The translator stops after around a hundred basic words. “[This should form a starting vocabulary. If you use an unfamiliar word, I will ask you to repeat, then explain it.]” The blob then asks, “Do you have any food?”

The translator relays the message in both English and Ferrian (which is based around magnetic fields, because there are visible to the Ferrians. It doesn’t work so well for humans, hence the translator). “That is unfortunate. Do you need anything? If I cannot find food, I should explore or sleep.”

The translator translates the duckish. “I need to find a normal plant. One from where I am from. Or the ground there. The other not-alive people say that it has very small plants, which they think is useful. It is normal for me.” The blob is relatively still, packed into a geodesic dome. “I also need food that is not a plant, but not very much right now. What I need is more nodes, because something exploded me. I lost memories, and will have to forget more, soon. The not-alive people say they need things that were alive to build more parts of them, too, but it does not work the same.”

The duck quacks in confusion. It doesn't understand mechanics. It's just a duck. With a piece of bread.

Purple walked over. "What are we looking for?"

"Okay . . . maybe we could find a different flower that's just as special? If we can't get one like the old one we could find something new!"
