are you too startled? am i too removed from your ken? i'm neither machine nor man. but a perfect fusion of the two. and better than either. no human sculptor could match this greatness. don't you agree?
ah, but wait for the winds. then my birds sing. my walrus breathes. my palace chimes and bells. and the deep grottoes whisper my name. box box. bahhhhxxxxsss.
anything to eat?
you walked in. i saw you. don't you remember?
from? from? from?
is that the wind? not yet.  you must hear my birds sing.
never a pair. i have never had a pair.
you're a beautiful pair.
i've never seen humans whom i thought worthy of being here.  i'd like to sculpt you. where would i put you? i know. you'd be the base of the column. you'd hold up my world!

nude. imagine, a pair.
up there.
enchanting. is that what humans do?

fish and plankton, sea greens and protein from the sea. it's all here - ready - fresh as harvest day. fish and plankton, sea greens and protein from the sea. and then it stopped coming and they came instead. so i store them here. i'm ready. and you're ready. it's my job - protein, plankton, grass from the sea
