002 - [open commentlog] Educate the giant robot or watch him go flying?
[There had been a few distractions, but it was time to find out how restricted the airspace was, if it was. So here is Jetfire, standing on the edge of the Green closest towards the Barracks and staring at the sky, helm tilted back, arms crossed. Before he goes, though...]

And maybe he would be, though what he could do to help... he's not a doctor at all, and causing needless pain wouldn't be pleasant, but if her wings needed re-breaking...]
Do I think you could learn it? Maybe. It depends on how you produce sound; we do it in a way... quite differently from most biological species, I think. [It won't be hard to learn the physiology of a human; all that was needed was a scan, which he'd need to do at some point anyway, to start to figure out the sort of stresses a human body (closely related) could take.
Isabella's amazement at his... lack of height as Jetfire venting quietly, along with a soft fuzz of static in annoyance.]
Yes. And I've been told it's the Keep... or it's Lord, that has somehow managed this, so we can fit into the space available. [It is very hard not to huff and frown in displeasure; the sort of disregard the size-changing showed...]

Well, I know there is much in just that small bit of language that would be difficult if not out-right impossible for me to try and reproduce. But, I would love to try it. I do not think I can get quite the breadth of vocalization needed though. This is more my range-
[She demonstrates it by doing a quick scale. It was musical, and every note was true, but there was obviously no ability to produce some of the sounds that Jetfire had made. Still. Learning some of a language, was better than none.
Then she frowns.]
He has been unkind to a great many people here.

Pitch-perfect. Very beautiful. [The short words are murmured, his appreciation both technical and simply in admiration of something aesthetically/artistically beautiful.]
... Yes, I have begun to draw that conclusion. [And it's an unsettling and displeasing one, considering they are stuck here and the Lord of the Keep obviously have more power than is healthy for one individual to have.]<7small>

R-really? Like an instrument?
[More musical things? Yes please! Her head is kind of spinning from all of this information and pleasant speech.
Her wings flutter and fluff under the compliment. ]
Thank you.
[She then thinks for a moment a little serious.]
There is to be a party later, I do not know if you know this? But with how it is worded, it is almost like he will be there.
[That's what it sounds like to her, at any rate.]

[Jetfire is amused by the reaction to the compliment, but the wings being able to react must mean there are still functioning nerves there, which is interesting to note... He frowns as she speaks, though, and nods.]
I do know. I can't say I understand the whole... reasoning around the party, but I have had some context from following journals made by others as confused as I was. [A small smile.]
As 'parties'... aren't really something I prefer to participate in, I won't be there. Maybe it's just as well, if he'll be there. [Jetfire's frown deepens.] I might be unable to keep my words... civil.

I think there are a good many people with uncivil and crude words they'd wish to speak to him. Though, in many a case, that would be the least of the Lord's worry.
[She shares the sentiment in the 'uncivil words' at least.]
Sollux has said much the same, about 'technology'. There are some things here but not many and they are things I have not seen before now. Like the TeeVee and Video Games.
