Skip’s good for me

While consuming the blade plant and waiting, Rust tries for some small talk with Kal (?) about what it’s like to be human, answering any questions about Ferrians their companions may have.

It's basically a time skip for the bird, anyway.

Four-ish hours is still a pretty long nap, but I guess the warmth is contributing.

He answered as best as he could - he wasn’t the best source for answers on an average life, as his family was poor and barely had more than they needed.

Rust is more interested in senses and feelings, because they need to know about the culture of the sky people, which Kal cannot tell them about. 
 

@SpiritOfWrath, is Adtae just standing there for four hours?

He explained about human emotion and family. 

Rust has emotions but finds the concept of family strange. Apparently they split when they run out of memories, but because memory can be shared they don’t have any special attachment to “their” swarms.

After around two hours, you can see movement in the distance, at an angle from back where you came.

He turned around, keeping the bird steady.

It woke up, yawned, and stretched its neck and wings. It looked quite adorable doing it.

It blinked up at the man happily. There were tiny red feathers beginning to poke out on its head.

He chuckled lightly.

It’s quite far away, and the rusty haze makes it difficult to make out. But something is moving closer to you at an angle. Rust’s vision doesn’t reach that far, so they continue eating a third blade-plant.

He tensed.

The moving object suddenly pivots, moving directly towards you. It’s still far away, but it’s a relative compact shape moving slightly up and down as it speeds in your direction. Rust expands in alarm. “What is that? It is alive, but strange.” 

Adtae suddenly shoved his arm outwards, a dark blade forming in his hand. He twisted in upon himself, disappearing and reappearing behind the object, stabbing his blade at the object.

Kal stepped backwards. “I don’t know.”

The object is moving several times the speed a human could run. It is a sort of wagon-like box, rolling of bendy spokes around wheels. There’s two figures in the front, both shrouded in black fabric. They turn around in alarm as Adtae cuts through one support for the roof, which seems to be made of a similar canvas. They speed up as it drapes over them.

Kal ran out of their path, keeping the bird on his shoulder.

Adtae appears in their shadow again and jumps on their box.Who are you? Why are you here? Appears in dark writing on their dashboard.

The driver brings the vehicle to a halt, skidding a bit before stopping. “I could ask the same of you! How did you even get here - this is a research only conservation area?”

I’m going to be gone for an hour and a half.

“Uh.. we just showed up? I know it sounds suspicious but that’s really it.”

Adtae explained. A metal-being brought me here.

What are you researching?

The passenger gets out of their seat to try putting the back of the vehicle back together. They move strangely, and you realize their limbs have an extra joint. The black suit they’re wearing makes it hard to see anything else, but it’s unlikely they’re human. The driver continues berating you. “You just showed up? Three weeks to the closest other system, and you just show up?” Then, they process Adtae’s statement. “Did the Quantum bring you here or something? We’re researching the life forms here, of course. What else would a research station on a bioplanet be doing?” 
Rust walks over. “Sky people! Did I call you yet?” The driver sighs. “You just meant a Ferrian? I didn’t realize there were any sapient ones that decided to stay…”

You aren’t human, are you?

Adtae nodded. I came her with… unconventional means.

He stared at the not humans.
