"At the table...? Ah... yes. Thank you." the slave wasn't used to this, but it felt nice to be treated like a person rather than an object. He stood and sat at the table in the chair across from Arron's, then went back to eating. When he was finished, he looked over at Arron with wide blue eyes, curious about him. So far he knew that Arron was kind, had incredible technology, and could fix things. He didn't realize he was staring while he thought about it.

The mechanic was still chowing down when he noticed the slave staring at him. "...Is someth-thing wrong..?" he asked blinking, "...Is it-it my weird eye c-color?" Arron was rather sensitive about his eye color because he knew it was not natural.

"Hmm?" the slave blinked vacantly before sitting upright, "Ah! Sorry! I... was just curious to know more about you. I didn't... mean to stare." he explained, stumbling over his words a little along the way.
"I don't think your eyes are weird at all. I think they're actually quite beautiful." he added with a nod.

He nodded only to blushed at the compliment & shook his head. "I-I don't like my eye c-color. It... It br-brings up a-a lot of things." he mumbled into his glass. "...Ask away if y-you want to-to know anything." he finally said. He was open to questions because the mechanic knew he was odd to most people.

"I understand. I won't say anything more about them." he took a sip of his own water before getting the go-ahead to ask Arron some questions. "Well... um... what kind of things do you like to do? Do you have some kind of job or family? What are your dreams for the future? What is your favourite colour?...Ah... I'm asking too many questions, sorry..." he bowed his head, embarrassed.

"Oh... Uh...My-My favorite color is bl-blue... I-I like to tinker & read... Also I like to race..." he began, "...I-I do have a-a job I'm Head Lythcol me-mechanic ab-aboard a-a galactic cr-cruise ship. I-I... just want to-to have a-a family. I-I have an older brother & he's th-the only blood relative I-I have. I-I also have a-a... be-bethroned..." He felt a pain of homesickness as he spoke about his home. It showed on his face for a moment. The young man dearly wished for home, but what was in front of him was more important at the time.

The slave took in everything Arron said, and he became even more intrigued than before. He had far more questions than he started with.
"A galactic cruise ship? You've been to space? Ah... that's... spectacular! I think the stars are beautiful from here, but it must be an entirely different experience when you're actually in space. It must be wonderful to be able to travel like that. Just travelling the world is something I've wanted to do." he mused on that thought a moment before realizing that Arron seemed upset.
"Is there something wrong? I'm... not overstepping my boundaries, am I?" He questioned, hoping he didn't say something that made his current owner sad.

Arron shook his head. "I-I'm str-stranded on this planet. I-I haven't seen my-my family in a-a long time. So... I-I'm a-a little homesick." he admitted, "...Yes I-I have been to space. Th-The stars are even more spectacular up th-there... Maybe one d-day I-I could show you..." The mechanic had a small smile on his face.

"Oh... I see. That must be hard." the slave responded solemnly. He couldn't imagine being separated from loved-ones. If he ever had any, he didn't remember, but he figured it would be painful to be away from them if he did.
"I'm certain you'll be able to reunite with them some day. It may take some time, but I know it can be done." he smiled softly in return.

The young man nodded. "I-I hope to... Is th-there anything else y-you want to know?" he asked.

The slave thought for a moment, looking in random directions as if questions would float in through the walls. He looked back at Arron again once he'd picked a question.
"Could you tell me more about racing? Do you do it on a horse, or... in a car of some kind?" he inquired.
"I would love to hear about some racing stories... if you feel like sharing that is."

"Oh! I-I raced hoverboards wh-when I-I was younger." said Arron with a big grin on his face. He then went to a long explaination & hilarious racing stories. This went on for quite sometime & his face was bright & cheerful despite the slight stammering.

He listened with great interest, and enjoyed hearing about all of the great times and funny things that happened during Arron's racing times. Once the stories seemed to come to an end, he collected their dishes, washed them, and put them away before returning to the dining room.
"What would you like to do now?" he asked.

"...I-I'd like to finish fixing wh-what needs to be fixed..." he said blinking. Arron was usually diligent in his work ethic unless he got distracted. He was glad that the head of the house had not come to check on them yet.

The slave nodded, walking to the door of the dining room.
"I'll lead you to the room with the faulty light next, if that's all right. As for my Mistress's tools... you may not be entirely comfortable fixing those. It's up to you." he explained, a light blush creeping over his cheeks before he opened the door for Arron.
