"Wow Ghal, that's too direct. You cross the line from teasing to abuse." Emilia said, unsure where that hostility had come from.
"You are not better, you associate with the Master because you use him to hide yourself.
There is no memory of camaraderie in this world, only parasites and slaves.
I remember a world of horror, where the wilds surrounded us, and yet we were all united.
Where did it all go?”
"Come on big boy, lets go hunting." Hildra approached, having heard the conversation from afar.
She grabbed the Tyr by the arm and dragged him into the woods, where no one would hear the insults she was going to use.
"Hey, this...why don't you start out soft. Just pet her slowly, it will make her go away."
Emilia took Rakta's hand and guided her until the soldier calmed down enough to do it herself.
As predicted, after a few long minutes, the cat got bored and wandered off.
Probably to try to terrorize the other elves.
"Are you OK?"
The chosen one nodded, but she still did not speak.
….
And you were sitting in silence on the cold metal floor.
Waiting for something to happen.
Your invisibility as your only cloak, you crossed your fingers so this was not a silly idea.

Little eyes in the abominable tool. You can saw them look at you, but they didn’t close fast enough.
You saw past the disguise!
Something was hidden in the metal, little vermin that was planted in you.
A trap set by who?
It did not matter, the intruder was discovered.
It tried to keep up the lie, even when you had stood up and picked it in your hand.
It did not waver in its resolution as you tried to pry it open.
Something you found impossible to do.
So you spoke to it.
At first soothing words, but it did not respond.
The interloper was committed to its role.
Your patience grew thin after speaking to it for too much time.
You pretend you didn’t care, saying that you would abandon it on the forest.
But there was no reaction
So you planned for containment.
You listed your plans of keeping it locked under key.
Your boundless curiosity fueling ideas for experiments
Things you said outload so the spy could hear you.
This finally hit, and the metal began to unravel.
It was only a matter of time until you got a response from it after all.
The handle of the tool became akin to cloth.
And from the inside of the slab of metal a diminutive humanoid arose.
The tools on its sides bended into armor and extremities.
A select few raised up above it, to transform into brittle wings.
A metamorphosis that was quick to act.
The creature jumped off your hand as soon as articulation was possible.
And the last embroidering’s took form.
A single lens like eye stared at you.
Mechanical chittering sounds accompanied its voice.
