Valdi (Xenoblade Chronicles 3) & Lanz (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)

Valdi (Xenoblade Chronicles 3), Lanz (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)

Drabble, Prompt Fill

"Lanz!"

The older Machina dusted off his hands, now free after he'd been helping a colony medic shuffle some crates of supplies around. Unbelievably normal, that. When he turned about, he spotted Valdi's golden hand waving determinedly at him.

"What's up?"

"One of the other people you've got helping you...they just called me a she."

Instead of crossing, the larger mechanical arms went to broad hips. "Yeah? You don't seem too bothered."

"Y-yeah...I'm not. I'm not."

Not bothered, not broken either.

"You want me to, then? You want me to tell the others?"

Valdi grinned, tentatively. "Yeah. Sure."
