"I'm the guardian of a certain lost individual. I imagine you've met them, too. They often call themself Seventeen."

209845 narrowed its visor. This man was likely one of the Makers. 209845 knew only one thing; he was not getting 17 back.

”Sigismund, stay out of the way.” It turned back to the man. “That individual is under my protection. Leave, or suffer the consequences.” 209835 took on an aggressive stance, carefully watching the figure for any hint of movement. It was not losing another friend today.

He narrowed his eyes at 209845. "Did they ask for your protection? I am their guardian. And I can hardly think you have their best interests in mind, given the intentions of your kind on this world."

“Yes, I am,” she said softly.

Lati made a frustrated noise and plopped down on the floor, which started sizzling and popping at her touch.

Jidah sighed. "Fine." 

She healed her hand and stood up. "We should get going."

"Hmph."

She reluctantly floated into the air again and drifted down the hallway.

Eventually they ran into the others.

“I am not like the rest of my kind.”

Suddenly, Jidah appeared around the corner. As soon as it registered, 209845 felt something loosen inside it. She was safe.

”Jidah! I could sense you fall unconscious, and we came looking for you. What happened? Is Lati with you?” It turned back to the Maker. “And who is this man?” The last word was inflicted with clear aggression.

"So you think you know better than I do how to take care of them?" He didn't look angry, and he didn't raise his voice, but he did sound very firm.

"I'm right here . . ." Lati said sadly.

The calmness of the man unnerved 209845. Where was the resistance it had come to expect from mortals?

”I know YOU can’t. That’s enough.”

Another surge of relief.

”Lati!” She was invisible, maybe she could sneak up on this man? But how to communicate with her…

Suddenly, 209845 had an idea. They knew Lati could read thoughts to an extent… 209845 focused all its energy on one message.

Lati, can you hear me? Listen. I want you to sneak up on this man. On my signal, if things sour, attack him. Think you can do that?

"Huh?" Lati said out loud. "Why?"

That was true...

"Then tell me. Explain to me. Quickly. Without leaving a shadow of doubt." 209845 topped it off with a glare that said, you do not want to mess this up.

NO! Don't respond! If you can understand me, just do it. I have a bad feeling about this man. He wants to take 17.

She smiled. Something warm bloomed in her chest. "Lati's with me. And this man is... weird."

"O-" She stopped herself and stayed quiet.

She- she didn't want to hurt anyone . . . but if this was a bad man and he wanted to hurt her friends . . . maybe it was okay.

"I don't owe you an explanation. I will tell you that I am their guardian, and they are very troubled. They suffer delusions and are a danger to themself. They got away from me, and it is important I find them." He seemed sincere enough, though he spoke it all more like a command than an explanation, his slightly raspy voice carrying well in the cave despite him not speaking too loudly.

"If you cannot give me an explanation, then you cannot see them."

Lati, get ready.

209845 searched again in its head. Instant Kill Mode... it still wouldn't appear. Whatever. There were other ways to fight.

"I gave you an explanation. But I don't have to explain every detail of our lives to you. I am their guardian. You have no right to keep them from me."

"I'm giving you one last chance... I cannot let you walk out of here knowing about me. Explain to me, in no uncertain terms, why you are in the right or I will have to use force."209845 didn't want to hurt the man... but the conversation DID have to move away. They were making noise, and it was only a matter of time before something found them. Perhaps they could knock him unconscious and interrogate him later…
