[ one would think most people would probably blow azula off or comment in some way on how rude or weird a question that was.
well. 6O was not most people. ]
I'm currently tilling the plots for my garden, bit that can obviously wait, if you need me! What's up?

I'm not sure I'd word it that way, the whole 'be at your side for every whim' thing, but I do want to help! Really, anything you need, I'll do my best to aid with!
So what's your query?
So what's your query?
No problem! Did you have somewhere specific you'd like to meet? I could come to you! Alternatively, I have a place closer to the center of the city now, that's near the source of the green, or so they call it. You'll see a garden and that's for sure my place!
I don't have access to global positioning on this planet, so that's not exactly possible BUT I can give as close an aproximation as possible!
[ and she does. it's a building closer to the center of the city, not really near the rest of the apartments. there's also a note of warning to "stay away from any vines" ]

[ Azula doesn't bother responding, an almost ridiculous disdain for the technology she's had to grow accustomed to. As thrilling as it was to reach out and bother whoever she wanted on a whim, she'd always prefer to torture face-to-face. Besides, she was genuinely curious to learn more about 6O so going out of her way to seek her company wasn't beneath her. This time.
She isn't too far off from where she's sent, making sure to avoid any flora she wasn't familiar with. So, all of it. The note to "stay away from vines" was taken to heart, she had already done the stupid Erku can't control me nonsense that she wasn't going to take any chances. The princess finally slows to a stop, setting her hand on her hip as she squints to look for her robot friend-- maybe she should have asked what exactly she should have been looking for. ]

[ Thankfully she wouldn't be waiting long. A building that seemed to just drink in the available sunlight wasn't far from where Azula had wondered toward, a large plot of land beside it that had been plowed and planned out, ready for cultivation.
6O herself emerged from the house, still dressed in her YoRHa uniform (she had no reason not to wear it, after all), but with a sunhat on for... aesthetic reasons? It clashed completely in terms of aesthetic. She carried with her a watering pale, and happily went about using it on the soon-to-be garden, singing a formless song to herself as she did so. ]

[ 6O certainly wasn't what she expected.
She didn't know what it was she expected, but not... this. It makes a little more sense why the Augur would pull a robot in for eros energy if the robot looked.... ???? She really was supposed to be some sort of machine? She needed to set the video option to default so she never relied on the ease of text again, constantly unprepared for every interaction she's had so far. Although she should have been ready for everything with 6O to be different, no comparison to what she was in her own world. An oddity that actually excited her, a tiny thrill in a so far dismal stay. ]
What is it you are growing here?
[ She interrupts after a while, admittedly feeling a bit creepy for having watched her for so long. ]

[ In Azula's defense, most people wouldn't expect androids, even perfectly human ones, to dress like... that... But YoRHa had always meant to be visually distinct from other androids. And Yoko Taro is a fucking weirdo.
She looked up from her work to see Azula there, and gave a cheerful wave, followed by a small salute. ]
I've got lots of stuff planted, already! There's a plot for flowers on that side of the house, and this plot is going to have strawberries! I can't wait for stuff to start sprouting!

Strawberries? Do you eat or are you planning on trading them for something?
[ Or is she going to be able to steal them when they're ripe? That seemed like a possibility for sure, she'd love to live off of something else than geese and contaminated rations she's getting from the local robots. Her stubbornness so far had prevented her from working with anyone else to solve her diet problem, maybe one day she'll get over it.
Azula crosses both arms over her chest, eyeing the plot for only a moment before she returns her gaze to 6O. Truly the most fascinating thing in this garden right now. ]

[ 6O paused to let out a small hum and nervous little giggle. ]
Well, technically, I don't need to eat at all, but I've never tried an actual organically grown strawberry, so I definitely want to! But I guess the ultimate goal isn't my own nourishment, since all I need is water and oxygen to get by...
[ 6O sat down her watering can, setting her gaze on all that she'd planted so far. ]
Mostly, I just... want the experience of having cultivated life. To have grown something. I never would have thought it possible, before...

hey
do you want some fresh baked bread?
i made extra!
[She doesn't think about what a stupid question that is, how 6O's probably never had any kind of bread before. She's too busy hoping that the offer is a good enough of an excuse for her to come over and visit.]

Sure! I just need to get everything cleaned up from tending to the garden, today, but I'm definitely free for company!
Oh my gosh I forgot to tell you!
I'm living closer to the center of the city now, where the plant life first showed up! It's a place Summer picked out for me, and it's way bigger than the office!
I've got a garden here, too! It started with the herbs you gave me, but I've also planted dhalias, sunflowers, pansies, roses, and I'm gonna try to plant lunar tears, but I hear those are really hard to grow.
Oh! And strawberries, too!

oh, wow
that's great to hear!
i only saw a little of your old place, when you made that video call, but it seemed way too small for you
so i'm glad you've found somewhere better to live!
and that you've met summer, too
she's a really good person
[Coming from Lys, who believes the best of everyone right up until a certain point, that's not exactly a high bar to clear....but she's speaking the pure, paint-stripped truth in this case.]
i can't wait to see everything!

[ better yet, how about precise coordinates, accompanied by step-by-step directions from most of the city's major entry points and landmarks? just. all sent at once. ]
Does this help?
Does this help?
[ (keanu reeves voice) Woah.
For someone used to relying on her nose and little else, it's almost too much information. Not that she'll say so....because there's nothing wrong with being helpful! And besides, it's cute.]
that helps a ton, 6O
thanks!!
see you soon
[And lo, she'll come trotting up in the next ten minutes, a basket of bread in one hand like Little Red Riding Hood and a slice of the same stuffed in her mouth like an anime schoolgirl.]
