[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.]

what can be done depends on the nature of the damage and the extent of it
i'm not precisely a doctor [of the standard kind, anyway, but there's no need for mushishi here] but i could teach you some basics in first aid if you like

[abortz]

Do you mean how to take care of damaged humans? That could be useful.

[tenthousandmiles]

yes, that's right

[the only other living things he knows about are mushi lol and those sure aren't here]

i take it you yourself aren't human
what are you, if i might ask?

[abortz]

[Luckily someone else already asked this so they actually have an answer prepared this time.]

A gem.
Why are there so many humans?
