A helping hand

For once there was a break in they bustle of the manor. No galas planned, the rooms freshly cleaned and dusted, and not time for any meals to be cooked. The Elliots had left the manor to go somewhere else for a party, dragging their poor daughter with them. S had listened to her rant about how she would much rather stay here with the drones than go to another gala. She was however unable to convince her parents, and ended up going anyways. S now walked through the hallways, looking through some of the rain coated windows out at the cloudy day. It grumbles, the fact that it was almost always raining made the place more gloomy. 

They passed by a room, waving at the drones inside. V and N waved back, the former smiling softly and the latter with a big grin. J was sulking by herself on the edge of the room, mad about Tessa not being there, and her expression made S grin. She noticed and gave them a glare, which it returned. S then kept walking, humming lightly to themself. As they passed by a room, a voice caught them slightly off guard.

"Hello, big sibling S." Came a monotone voice, that S only knew as one drone. They smile, walking over to her.

"Hey Cyn! What are you doing?" They looked down at her, before sitting down to be at a slightly better level for her to look at.

"I am attempting to reach the cups, they have been placed out of my reach. Annoyed expression." She says flatly, her head tilting to the side as she moves her hand to fix it. S looks over to where she was previously, and notices the set Cyn was going for. It was her favorite tea cup set, the one she often used, and it had been placed on one of the highest shelves. S's visor took an annoyed expression, it wasn't even in reach for a normal drone, or Tessa. Luckily, S was taller than average, and could reach it if they tried.

"I can get it for you, Cyn!"

"That would be apricated, thank you, Sibling S." She shuffled backwards, mumbling the words 'shuffle, shuffle, shuffle'.

S moved over, reaching up and trying to grasp the tray the set was on. Their fingers brushed the edge with a small screech that made both drones flinch slightly. It got onto its 'toes' and grabbed the edge, carefully lowering it down and setting it on the counter for Cyn. "There ya go!"

Cyn used her hand to make her slumped head nod, "Gleeful nod. Thank you." As S started to leave, the yellow eyed drone spoke again, "Would you like to stay with me?"

It pauses, looking over at her as she fixed her head again, then they smile and walk back over with a shrug. b Cyn climbed onto one of the seats, speaking her actions as usual. She tilted her head back up to look at S, who smiles and sits down next to her. Both of them start to talk with each other, Cyn attempting to drink oil like a human would tea, and S giggling slightly to themself.

The smaller drone then looked up at the taller one, her oval eyes staring into them for a second before speaking. "I have a question, Sibling S."

"Wassup?" They fixed their glasses with before looking down at her curiously.

"Is there something between you, and V? Curious expression." She asks flatly, as her head tilts to the side, and she fixes it while staring at a frozen S.

S sits there, frozen and mouth open slightly before they cover their visor. "...no.." They mumble. Just when Cyn went to speak, they both heard a chipper greeting from N, which made them both turn. Cyn returned the greeting, though not with the same tone, and slightly waved him over. S saw V behind him as well, and it wailed internally at terrible timing. The four drones sat with each other, and started talking about when the Elliots might be back. It cooled its systems and joined the conversation with a smile.
