"Yeah just follow me." He led her out and walked down the hallway. "You're pretty far from where you're supposed to be. Tourists have this problem often but none are gifted with a keycard." 7-8603 said that as if it was a cosmic keystone, which it was, to him.
 
Zir brain went tick, tick.
A short house keeping robot zoomed down the hallway on zir way back from cleaning the main lobby at the front of the building. The robot was called ze, since it was not a Huh- he or a sha- she, and humanism, which would often allow gender in a robot, had not been the main focus of this robot's design. At least it had been rather human-like in previous models, the robot recalled as it turned this way and that down the long hallways, but a tentatively small smile coupled with a human like glare and tone of voice, did not, clients said, mend well with it's long spindly- grabbing arms, and thin machine- ish body. Then, the humans had quickly taken the more human leanings off the roster, and made it more like one of the earlier robots. Now it was more appliance -ish and less, well, shocking.
It stopped around a corner and surveyed suddenly the human and zir companion. Wrong location. Insufficient identification. It paused momentarily, loading something, ticking slightly, and then uttered, tonelessly,
"Can I help you?"

He shifted from one foot to another. Hopefully this robot didn't know what he was and where he was supposed to be at the moment. "No, I'm escorting this human to the exit." He spoke. Maybe if his hopes were high enough, zir model would be tool-like to where they were not programmed with complex thinking so that he wouldn't get busted.
 
The robot paused again, ticking.
"What is your identification number, humaniform robot sir."
This sort of high tech robot should not have been in this sector of the building, it recalled. The cleaning robot looked at the woman beside the humaniform robot.
"Employees." It stated as a question.

The robot's eye turned to a loading screen once more. Damn, either he states his number, or he makes a run for it. He's playing with fire anyways, even with a backup. His loading screen disappeared once ze asked about Yania. He looked to her, "I'll just do the talking for you," he faced the cleaning unit and made an attempt to seem as if his behavior was programmed, "she's just a tourist. On terms of my identification, it was not saved to my hard drive."
 
"That is unfortunate." said the smaller robot, it's systems clicking very audibly.
"I would like to accompany the master and zir helper to the exit, if ze so wishes."
The robot now knew that this robot did not belong here, but he did not know what to say. Voicing the word 'Danger.' to the human, as ze had been taught to say when there was a corrosive spill or some other mess that could cause a human harm, would cause unnecessary panic, or so ze believed. Not to mention there might be a fight, which ze could tell by looking at the large advanced robot, ze could not win.
Maybe it was her personal robot, the cleaner thought. Ze stopped ticking so quickly, and added to zir first query.
"Are you zir personal robot?"


(Do you think one of us should take over for our third partner, or should we wait a bit longer?)

((I'm unsure. Maybe one of us should take over.))

"I'll leave that option up to her to choose, and I'm only her personal robot for the currebt time being." He replied.
 
((I think we could both use the character when we think she should say something, but I do not want to use her character so I'll change her name, if that's okay. Here, I'll use her character first. When we have an idea on what is going to happen to her we could ask the other not to role play her for a while until what ever the person is planning runs through.))

Erzi leaned down to look at the smaller robot. "And no. That's all right. Only one robot will be fine." She did not want to distract the smaller one from whatever ze was doing.
"Understood." the robot garbled out. Then the robot quickly moved around the woman and her helper, to continue on the same path as before. Erzsi watched the robot pass, interestedly.
"So, what is your function in this place?" She looked up at the larger robot. "'hum-an-iform ro-bot sir?'". Erzsi broke up the syllables in the last few words of her sentence in a mocking way, and smiled slightly. Then she looked down. "I mean, um, what were you doing over there, in that room?" She laughed slightly, as if making fun of herself.
