Keyes searched through her backpack, but instead of pulling out the helmet she'd been looking for, the Exo retrieved a small chocolate, likely from the Festival of the Lost. "[You think this is still good?]" Keyes signed to the hunter.

Making a face, Church leaned over to inspect the chocolate. He didn't seem very confident.

"Uh... I wouldn't bet Glimmer on it, if that's what you're suggesting," he said. "But I also don't think you can really get a stomach ache, so..."

@visionsinchrome​ asked: Now it was Keyes' turn to be surprised and tilt her head/helmet. She knew Pokémon were clever, and similar beasts to Howl could learn commands where she was from, but the introduction was a cute surprise. The guardian knelt down to be eye level with the aura pokemon. 'Name Keyes', she signed in response, using the signs for 'key' and 'yes' to make it simpler. 'Howl is Bobby's partner?'

‘Key yes’... It puzzled Howl without hearing the name out loud, and he furrowed his brow while he tried to understand it. He nodded at the question, though. "Partner Bobby. Crime work. Justice," he said.

The lucario stared at Keyes, appraising her while his confusion only grew. He had seen some unusual machines and humans, but this was well beyond anything seen before. He leaned close to gaze into the android's dark eyes and try to read any kind of aura... But he felt only the faintest whispers.

[Text: Keyes] Do you, uh, need me to come by and ‘revive’ you?

🍆 [accidental from Keyes...I'm sorry, the thought of accidentally getting nudes from a robot is hilarious to me XD]

…huh. Well, that was unexpected. Not… necessarily in a bad way, but still. He’d never actually seen an Exo naked before—go figure.

[Text: Keyes] Wow, I know I helped you out in that last Strike, but this isn’t how I thought you’d express your appreciation.

Keyes signs "hello" to Howl.

Howl pricks his ears up in surprise. Not many people know the way humans speak with their hands, let alone address him with it. "Hello!" he signs back, cocking his head to one side. "Name Howl."

[Keyes signing, or her Ghost speaking for her thoughts if Church doesn't know it...or is too sleepy to understand] "You look like a couple hours could benefit you."

"Eeeeh..." Couple hours, couple minutes, what even was time? A social construct or whatever. Unless the Vex were involved. Then it just gave him a headache. "I'm the one on watch duty, you're the one who's supposed to be sleeping. Or, uh, in sleep mode, however it is with Exos."

[thestupidmeanone]

[Keyes' Ghost speaking for her] "Your aim would suggest otherwise."

"Ex-cuse me?" Church tilted his helmeted head in what was probably the best possible glare he could muster without visible eyes. "Fine, ya little smartass, I can wait until I can get out my Void Bow. Then nothing's dodging these shots. Hey, Keyes, can you get your Little Light? He's messing with my focus."
