Cecil had never stayed outside in one place before throughout the night, this was the first time he had remained immobile for a long period of time in what felt like plain sight. The moisture of the morning was definitely getting into his gears and the need to clean them was number one priority right now. Looking to Ethan when he spoke he only felt confused by his exclamation, only curious as to what he was talking about; of course it was morning time, but he was confused about the rest of his greeting. The ground was hard but it wasn’t as if he found it bothersome, nor had he ‘slept’. Going back to his cleaning he smiled slightly when he could feel the relief in his joints already but gasped when the girl suddenly shouted, his eyes quickly looking to her before he turned away quickly with his shoulders raised.

He didn’t like being constantly reminded he was a Machina, especially after yesterday. It seemed like such a negative thing to be and by how she reacted it definitely raised some questions to whether it was a good thing. Frowning as he placed his kneecap back on he moved onto his other leg, letting them talk amongst themselves and talk about eating and all that while he made himself busy. This was the longest he had ever been with people and observing them proved to give him some valuable information to what they were like when the sun rose. First they got off the ground and proceeded to cook flesh to make food. That all sounded pretty simple enough and provided some valuable information, but he did wonder if it was specific creatures they used or just got any creature and started to cook them. Did they only use certain parts of the creature to make food? So many questions and probably all too rude to answer, especially if they were already a little freaked out by him.

Sighing lightly as his gears were fair cleaned he gasped lightly when Ethan decided to talk to him, looking to him quickly before away again, raising his shoulders. “Uhh, a little. I ran out of oil a while ago, so it’s been hard…” he spoke, sounding more embarrassed by it, “I don’t know where to get some, but I can manage…” He didn’t know why he felt so embarrassed about his own body, but it was probably because of what happened yesterday. Slowly placing his knee back on he adjusted his leg, looking as good as new again. It wasn’t something he should be ashamed of and yet he still felt that way. Keeping quiet while they tried to figure out where they were going he slowly looked over, seeing the pair mull over a map, discussing their possible route. He didn’t really know where they were going but he was curious to see how they were using it, only seeing one being used before and he didn’t even get to see what was on it. Slowly getting up he moved quietly behind them, looking over their shoulders and down to the map on the ground.

What a curious contraption a map was, it must’ve depicted this whole region. Staring at it he recognised where he just was, remembering the shape of the road as he travelled there. Getting oddly excited over his ability to read the map he made sure to remember it, smiling happily. “Is this the entire world? That’s amazing!” he spoke as he moved around to the side of the map, “I’m going that way! I’m going to…I don’t know. I feel I need to go that way, though. Can this take me there?”
