[Bortz is not a chatty person. They aren't a particularly social person, and they aren't at all eager to make new "friends". But they'll submit to this sort of socialization with complete strangers to get information they need.]
Do animals have doctors?
If there is anyone in charge of fixing those of us who break then I need to know in advance rather than waiting until they're actually needed.
[There's a pause, and then they continue, almost begrudgingly.]
I also need to know if anything be done for you people if you're damaged.
If it comes up then there won't be time to figure it out in the moment. I won't waste time trying to help if there's no point.
[They don't care. They really don't, these organics mean nothing to them and frankly, expending effort on them when they have such short, limited lifespans to begin with seems pointless. But this is the job they've been given, and they'll do it right. If that means babysitting these fleshy people then so be it.]

There's a moment when Sieglinde's gaze, sharp and critical, slips out of focus, recalling the books she had read when she was researching before the Leramzen mission. When she'd studied Daenerys' loaned diamond, a truly beautiful stone, and studied all she could about manufacturing the stones.
With a sudden flash of insight, Sieglinde slaps her fist into her palm with a mouthed ah-ha.]
Bortz! Oh- that is not a strange name after all.
[When they'd first introduced themselves, she had thought they were simply not human, she hadn't narrowed it down to minerals... so she'll take back her comment from before, nodding more to herself than anything else, pleased with the find.]
