"That's not really saying much." She sawed away. The process was miserably slow, but it was coming along. The shackles were heavy but not to a ridiculous point. They'd be off eventually.

"No," he agreed. "I wonder why I created them with such a tendency toward violence.'

"I will say..." She paused for a moment and flexed her hand, trying to prevent cramping. "...it's not a bad thing to have fighters available."

"Not in this day and age, certainly," he agreed. "It just seems like a strange thing for me to do."

(That's okay)

He shook his head. "I said before, I have no memory before waking up in my cell. We've deduced who I might be with the use of wall carvings in villages."

She wondered how old this guy was exactly but wasn't curious enough to ask. She went from crouching on her feet to sitting in front of Roland. She took off her hat and set it beside her - the opposite side of her from where Bug was. She saw him as the type to snatch things.

"You must have seen some of them," he ventured. "In your travels. Mostly in bot-occupied villages but some in human villages as well."

"And you think they were talking about you?" She had seen carvings but hadn't paid much attention to the specific details .

"Description seems to match." Unless the robots were particularly useful against the spirits, they were just another group of beings to compete with. Luckily, despite their apparent tendency towards violence, they didn't use up food and water that humans needed.

"Maybe it's a relative or something. Or you could have just forgotten I guess."

She just continued to saw away. She'd take breaks every so often and try to shake the cramps out of her hands.
