As they come up to the corner, Fio comes to a halt. Though such a tiny gesture, it is the helpful, reassuring squeeze around her hand that urges her to continue onward. But she remains cautious as she shuffles forward, peeking around to check if there's anything that might be lurking in the eerie darkness. She looks visibly relieved when she notices there isn't anything but the usual silly spooky decor and the stairs leading back down to the lobby. ]
There's... one other that I know who's kind of like the "bots" here. [ One that's still active. ] She's a smaller machine... and she calls herself Pod. Or Mama. [ A hint of fondness and a small laugh in her voice, briefly forgetting how tense she is in the manor's dark hall. In the short time she knew her, "Mama" was far more caring towards her than her adoptive parents. It made her happy, even if it may have been a little strange hearing a kind, motherly voice coming out from such a tiny robotic creature. ] She'd talk to everyone like she really is their mother.
