[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.]

I can try it to see if it might work. How do you make it?

[ wELL this is normally where he'd tell someone to fuck off and google it, but all things considered... ]

grind up the charcoal, melt the sap, mix it.
1 part charcoal, 3 parts sap. you have to heat it up to use it.

does it hurt when you break?

[abortz]

[They stare at that message perplexedly for just a little too long. Hurt?]

There's a kind of small jolting sensation when a piece is reattached sometimes.
Not bad, just strange. Is that what you mean?

[hothead]

[ Wow, cheater. ]

no. i mean bad, not strange. if you can't feel it, doesn't that make it hard to avoid damage?

[abortz]

I can feel it. It's a little uncomfortable, I guess?
But I know how much impact and pressure I can handle. And I'm a diamond, and more durable than any of the others. I don't damage easily.

[ Kind of like Kirishima. Interesting, and he's kind of curious — but he doesn't need a backstory, just what someone's capable of. This is good enough. ]

let me know if the paste doesn't work.
