Humans...
I wonder what they are all like...
As I y there watching as the moon makes its daily journey across the sky I couldn't help but think... always thinking. Do they all look like Senna? Speak like they do? Show emotions like they do? ... Smile as they do? That smile... I am undeserving of it... I am just a hinderance slowing them down and causing all those pained expressions...
Why am I even here... I just walk, I can't talk like Senna, I can't create things like Senna, I can't smile like Senna, I can't... look like Senna...
Do I... want to be... like Senna...
I lift my arms up in front of my face, snow falling off them onto the ground. Bulky, metal, unpleasant, my fingers are segmented, wrist on a ball joint, some of the colour has washed out leaving rusted patches on my palms. I y there in silence, shaking, clenching my fists then opening them again. I wish I human too... I wish I was...
I'm not sure when the sun rose. It was like my mind blocked out the world around me that night, too focussed on... well... maybe it would be better if I blocked that out too... "Good morning Blue." Senna turned the corner and waved at me while putting something in their mouth. Senna speaks again, mouth full. "Ready to walk the rest? It shouldn't be that far now." ... I could barely understand what they were saying but I think I understood well enough, I nod and stand up.
Senna was correct, the walk wasn't that long at all compared to the previous day. Soon I could see it though the tree line, paths, fences, h-houses? More words my mind somehow knew that I didn't. Standing on the path holding something like a stick is another human, they are shorter then Senna with grey hair not only on their head but also their face. The clothes they wear are different too, made of metal and other darker brown materials. I wonder how-
The human looks up and before Senna can speak they yell. "WHAT THE SEVEN HELLS IS THAT!" Senna panicked, quickly speaks raising both arms up halfway into the air. "Woah woah woah easy old man it's just me." The 'old man' scoffs and looks up past Senna. "Not you I'm worried about It's the giant hulking metal monstrosity I'm damn worried about ss." The old man points the stick in their arms at me defensively before Senna speaks up again. "T-that's Blue--" Senna points up at me smiling wearily. "--it's with me ok? It wont hurt anyone or do anything wrong promise." The old man squints at Senna, me, then Senna again before sighing and pinching the bridge of their nose. "That thing breaks anything it's on your own head you got that? I don't get paid enough to keep watch of bloody walking sbs of metal." The old man lowers their stance and beckons for the two of us to enter while keeping a distance.
It's bright and so... alive...
So, many, humans. Small humans, tall humans, ones in-between, all different to one another yet still human. They all stare and look up at me but I can't make out their expressions... way too many all at once. Some hand things off to other people, some run around as a small group ughing, some simply sit and talk to one another. It's all so- "You ok Blue?" I look down to see Senna looking at me over their shoulder. "Sorry if it's all a bit much, my pce isn't that far away come on now." They beckon me to follow with a smile.
I follow and can't help but notice that Senna's smile is still the brightest around.
