[ in spite of her lack of interest in everything tea, Sombra watches Ballistic prepare his with some curiosity. He's so methodical about it, he could probably do it blindfolded. For a second, her fingers tingle with the temptation of making the alarm go off too early or too late. Then it passes. Pranks are better when they don't know they're being watched. ]
No promises. Not for free, anyways. [ she grins. ] Afraid he's gonna think you're his friend if he knows?
Cat person here, remember? Besides, bots and I don't really get along.
[ it's like they have a sixth sense for hackers. Can't blame them, but that doesn't keep the impulse to take a peek at their programming from popping up anyways. Or her from indulging it. ]
But it would be nice to have one around to take care of the little things. [ like meals... and cleaning. ] As long as they didn't wreck the whole place in the process.
I haven't forgotten. He's just that friendly, is all. Even to the murderous simulacrums in the Games.
[ like how a dog may be friendly to an annoyed cat, he thinks. several annoyed cats that would rather slice him, and yet he notices how pathfinder persists. ]
Ah, yes. You have the power to see his mistakes for yourself. [ the fire was recorded after all. ] I should have given him even simpler tasks.
[ Sombra laughs. Usually it's a snooze digging through past CCTV footage, but the domino effect that led to the whole wing burning down had been hilarious to watch. ]
At this point all he has finally learned to do properly is a cup of tea. And manslaughter in the games, to my initial surprise. Thought I'd never see him again.
[ he's so glad he has, truth be told. ]
There's so much work to do still despite it being a while.
Yeah. Some things you just gotta do yourself if you want them done right.
[ story of her life, basically. But she can always count on people like Ballistic to outsource anyways, despite the risks; that's what they're used to doing living their posh lifestyle. That's what makes them vulnerable. ]
And, speaking of... guess I should go get what you asked for. I'll send you a way to pay me once I have it.

[ "Hi again, elderly friend!"
"Would you like me to take care of the thorns from the roses again, Mr. Sir August?"
and august ends up chuckling in front of the robot — what an impact pathfinder has made in his life. ]
I'm sure he'd treat you as a friend as well if ever you meet him. Like a labrador, that one.

I'll leave you to your work then.
