WALL-E
First they tried tilting their heads sideways.
Then they tried looking at him upside down.
Then they simply stared for a bit and hoped he'd change like one of those optical illusions the Captain had found a book of.
It didn't work. The EVE units really didn't get where their sister One was coming from when she'd gushed to them about this creature. More specifically, she'd said that she thought he was attractive. Now, none of the units disliked WALL-E, all of them knowing the story behind him, but he was dented. And covered in dirt. And short. And- Oh crud, EVE was coming. The group zoomed behind one of the nearby building. WALL-E, who'd been too caught up in the watering of a baby tree he seemed to care a lot for, finally heard some of the noise and turned too late to see his observers. He did, however, spot EVE coming up to him.
The sisters blinked.
WALL-E's entire disposition changed in an instant. He hadn't been miserable before or anything, but you could have thought so in comparison. His expression lit up with joy and enthusiasm. A quick look over to EVE and the sisters found a similar change. The two just didn't even really do anything. They just stayed there... talking? There was little if any exchange of the robotic language, but somehow they still seemed to be having some riveting conversation.
The sisters, however, did need robotic for a conversation of their own.
"Is it possible that One could have a critical error?"
"Should we peruse One about said error for her own good?"
"Should we force One to give us a full system report?"
"Isn't One by far the most skilled of us with an ion cannon?"
There was a long pause after the last one.
"...Don't we have some organic life to tend to?"
"Oh, yes, I have a patch of dandelions that need constant attention!"
"I recall the captain assigning me to a very important thorn bush!"
"I...Uh...I have other things to do as well!"
EVE and WALL-E looked to one of the nearby buildings in confusion when they heard what sounded like several robots fleeing. Seeing nothing, they shrugged and continued their conversation.
