[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.]

[oh hello....familiar....person?? idk she probably caught their name eventually]

There are certainly those among us who are assigned as healers.

And although that is not my assigned role on this team, I may have the ability to help. Assuming the damage is not too great.

[abortz]

Can you fix inorganic material?

[juniberries]

I cannot say.

I’ll admit I still do not know the fullest extent of my abilities. My powers are tied to quintessence.

[abortz]

["How do you not know your own abilities?" is what they initially want to ask. But instead:]

Tied to what?

[juniberries]

Quintessence. Where I come from it is the most powerful energy known to all.

There are inorganic materials, where I’m from at least, which do possess high levels of quintessence. Though I have never tried healing something that was not alive before...

[abortz]

I am alive. Just mineral instead of flesh.

[juniberries]

[huh.

kind of...like the Lions??? maybe?? they're like Sort Of alive. spiritually. or something canon still isn't too explicit about that woops.]

I will admit I've not met anyone made of mineral before you, but my abilities are tied to minerals.
Crystals, more specifically.

[abortz]

[Huh. That sounds...potentially convenient.]

You can repair broken crystal, then? Or at least try?

[juniberries]

I can try. The worst that could happen would be that it does not work.

[abortz]

I'll keep it in mind in case anything happens.
It's unlikely, but better to be prepared.
