The small robot let out a pleased sigh as he watched the vigilante glide through the room. The latter was in a half asleep daze, allowing Larry a few brief minutes to gaze longingly at the object of his obsession. He and Ludwig had known each other for a little over a year by now and Larry had grown to enjoy the grouchy German's company. A large smile icon appeared on his facial screen as the blue robot watched the groggy man shuffle past him once more. "Lose something Ludwig?" He chuckled, leaning back in the plush recliner he had claimed earlier that morning. A soft thump against his chest was the reply. Rubbing the back of his neck, Ludwig turned his head away from the robot and shuffled out of the room. Looking down in his lap, the robot lifted the small, delicately wrapped box. Tearing the light blue paper off of the box, a large question mark flashed across his facial radar before flicking to change into a flushed exclamation point. Sitting in the bottom of the box was a delicately made key chain in the shape of a music note. Larry was one of the most notorious racers in the Koopa Kingdom and took painstaking care of everything related to the sport, including his many sets of keys. "Happy birthday Larry." Ludwig whispered from the doorway before slipping back into his room.
