Through all the words, John could gather a few important things. For one, he was absolutely right that it was pretty stupid to put a machine in a pod that all science fiction told him was only for living creatures. Secondly, the robot had never gotten to see any movies, which was pretty horrible. He was probably busy doing robot things, whatever those were. Really, what good was a talking sphere? What was this guy for? They could have at least given him something to fly with. John couldn't say how that would increase the usefulness of a talking sphere, but it would certainly make life a lot easier for the sphere in question. While whoever made him missed the opportunity to make an awesome flying mechanism, John could step in and fix that, at least temporarily.

"Don't worry, dude, we're not going to leave you here," John promised, and all gloom he had been holding onto was dropped in favor of eagerness. It was a little because he'd feel bad leaving anyone here in the cold, and a little because using the windy thing was... fun. He shot a quick grin at the man, a grin that had pride and joy written all over it. He seemed a little distracted by giving sour looks to their new friend, but that was okay.

John extended his hand, and it was like he could feel every little shift in the air, every particle. Particles that Rose and Jade knew the names of, and John would probably need to ask them about it some day, because right now he was drawing a blank for anything except "oxygen" and he knew saying he could "feel the oxygen" was stupid. Being able to name it wasn't important for making it work, at least. The feeling was still novel, and it would never not be exciting to see his hand light up, blue wisps shifting and swirling around it. But the best part was moving the breeze like it was just another part of him, and gently lifting the robot off the floor. He was so light. It was so easy.
