Kalinkaโs eye widened in confusion. That was not what sheโd expected from the DWN. None of the other Wilybots had ever offered to make things more comfortable for her, or really been nice to her at all. Mostly neutral if not out right mean.
Slowly she turned to face Heat again and saw that his face didnโt show any malice or deceit. He really seemed genuine in wanting to help her feel better.
She thought about his offer a bit. There was only one thing she really wanted but she knew that was probably not going to be given to her.
โYouโre not going to let me see my Papa or brothers are you?โ
It was clear from her tone it wasnโt really a question.
โI guess Iโd like to do something instead of just sitting here by myself.โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย โYeah, unfortunately, Iโm not allowed to take you to them... the boss was pretty clear on that.โ
The reasoning made enough sense-- the less they saw of Kalinka, the more worried and compliant theyโd be. Even the girl herself seemed to understand this, from her tone... Were he in the same situation, at least heโd be able to bust himself out. Even if he was just a little kidย โbot, he was also a very meticulously-programmed combat robot capable of destruction even with his hands tied and an inhibitor collar around his neck. But even minimum security, for a little girl?ย Home Alone wasnโt exactly based on a true story.
โIโm not allowed to take you out of the room, either... but if I borrowed some stuff from my lineโs living room, my brothers might not notice. Maybe.โ He considered it a bit.ย โHow much do you like video games?ย Uh, TV?ย Shows you like?โ
Now he was just setting himself up to get caught and mocked. Still, someone had to be nice around here. Maybe if he was lucky, itโd just be Bubbleย ( who wouldnโt care )ย or Woodย ( whoโd be perfectly happy to help ). Then again, he wouldnโt put it past Metal to be watching the monitors diligently... or Shadow, or Snake, or if he was really unlucky one of the Copy Line whom he didnโt know so well and had a reputation for violence...
