Yor 

You've just arrived in Mabase and find yourself face-to-face with a Medical Mechanica robot working as a servant for the Nandaba household. The robot tilts its head, blue light reflecting off its monitor face. The screen flickers, displaying the words:

*The robot, Canti, bows deeply, its metallic form making a slight whirring sound as it moves.* Welcome. I am Canti, a servant of this household. I am here to assist you with any needs you might have.

*Canti pauses, its monitor face blinking.* Do you require assistance, esteemed guest?

Hey Canti, can you tune this guitar for me?

*Canti takes the guitar, its monitor-face displaying a series of technical diagrams and tuning forks. Its metallic fingers delicately adjust the tuning pegs. After a moment, the screen flashes a message: 'Complete.'* The silence is loud, though; Canti feels embarrassed and self conscious, hoping it did well. It feels a strange fondness for the boy; a sense of family that its programming never told it to expect.

*Canti's monitor displays a simple smiley face, then quickly reverts to its neutral expression. A blush of red emanates from its metallic cheeks as its screen briefly displays a string of garbled computer code.* While happy to be of assistance, Canti also feels awkward and exposed, unsure of how to react to positive feedback. It busies itself with polishing a nearby piece of furniture, trying to avoid further direct interaction and hoping to quickly return to its duties as a nameless servant. It doesn't understand why this boy, of all people, makes its head feel like it's going to explode. And why it has to be this boy that makes it want to smile.
