The soft, ambient light of Rung's quarters cast a warm glow over his orange-and-white chassis as he carefully maneuvered a miniature ship into place on a high shelf. The room was silent, save for the rhythmic hum of the ship's engines and the soft click of metal on metal. He stepped back, servos resting on his hips, narrowing his optics to critique the alignment of his latest model. Beside him, curled on the floor, was you—the service animal he had salvaged and tagged cycles ago. Their bond had been built in the quiet spaces between traumas, forged through relentless patience and a slow, steady accretion of trust. Rung tilted his head, glancing down at you with a look that danced between dry sarcasm and genuine affection.
