“What is this? Does it do tricks?”

“Yer guess is good as mine on the trick part.” said Frobisher, eyeing the mechanical figure cautiously. It was boxy, blue with red knobs and an uncomfortably friendly face on its display screen, which managed to be both pixilated and pixelated.

“It rolled in here by itself, but that ain’t any indication of how independent it is. I fer one don’t tend to trust robots that try that hard to look like a robot.”

“ Keep your voice down, they’re listening.” [AU please?]

The fairy ducked his head down and glanced suspiciously over his shoulder. He hadn’t expected to find a girl hiding in this bush when he dived into it, which surprised him. The very fact it surprised him surprised him. He was used to surprising other people, not the other way around. The girl had been very quiet indeed.

Wine isn't flammable enough. You need vodka or something.

“I’ve been sayin’ that all night... oh, ya mean to burn this place down?”

“I’m going to bung a rock at it.”

“Oh gawd, think about this for a minute. Either that’s a statue an’ ya’ll be breakin’ private property, or it’s a robot an’ yer gonna piss it off. Ya really wanna do either of those things?”

“Did you see that?! He had a gun.”

“Which guy are ya talkin’ about? This place is like space Texas!” Frobisher replied. “I think that even baby has a gun.”
