Kari was a bit more used to the sight of Grilka by now, and even the five second warning meant that he didn't startle when Grilka descended with uncharacteristic rapidness down to the bar. Kari had a pretty solid grasp on what Grilka drinking straight out of the bottle meant, and slid straight into 'doe-eyed, affectionate, dumb as a brick' with little effort. Eager to give Grilka some better news then whatever ey'd gotten, he pouted dramatically.
"I witnessed the most awful thing again, Grilka, another terrible accident." He traced fingers along the back of Grilka's hand, careful and careless as always. "But Neph here was sweet enough to keep me from swooning and lead me to safety. Wasn't that sweet of them?"
He paused, clearly not expecting Neph to know even a single word of Krotazi. Those damn robots and their databases. They could have downloaded it on the way here. What they couldn't download, however, was cultural context. Kari knew things about the Krotazi that Neph did not, and untangled his hair from Grilka's talons fast as a blink, freeing himself to take a few steps to the left, a little further away from the tiny robot, just in case. Only one of them could survive impalement, accidental or otherwise, after all.
