On Your Doorstep

They ended up on your doorstep, quite literally. Bloody, possibly. Bruised, most definitely, though the wounds may be mental. You probably don't know them from Adam, yet you couldn't find it in you to turn them away - whether they wanted you to or not. So you opened up your home, just for a little while.

But it's getting to be more than a little while. Both of you are finding a comfort zone, because you didn't simply open up your home. Admit it or don't, but you've opened up your heart all the same.

Their's is slowly following, if its reluctant at all.

[bahalalala]

With both pain medicine and ice, you should be able to take care of your contusions.

[He pauses for a moment, blinking as his database makes a fact more prominent.]

I am equipped with phone services, I can give you my number in case you need help with a medical matter.

[codeforhope]

...I would like that, thank you.

[...he's really not sure how he's going to explain this to his dad now, but...well, better to be safe than sorry.]

[bahalalala]

I will be just a moment.

[Baymax waddles over to the counter, grabbing a pen and business card for the Lucky Cat Cafe. Aside from a cat design that looks quite a bit like Mochi along the bottom of the card, the back is blank.

He writes down his personal number in slow, precise form, his handwriting looks just as robotic as he is.

Once Baymax is satisfied, he picks up the card and takes it to his patient, holding it out to Chihiro.]

I am equipped with both voice and text communications. If I do not answer, I am temporarily deactivated until a patient needs me.

[Hiro rarely deactivated him nowadays, but it did happen sometimes. He didn't know if communication would wake him out of sleep mode, so it was better to warn Chihiro of the possibility.]

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro takes the card in hand, holding it carefully. He hopes that he might be able to meet one of the people who know Baymax before he actually has to leave town...his creator himself, perhaps. But for now, he's just glad to have had his help. It's certainly not something he was expecting to encounter tonight.]

Alright. I probably won't call unless it's an emergency.

[bahalalala]

[Baymax has a handful of friends and family, his family lives at the Cafe and his friends often hang out here, so coming back during the day when it's open is a good chance to spot the people the robot knows.

He nods.]

Understood.

[He doesn't mind if Chihiro calls him or not, but he wanted his patient to have his number in case he was needed.]

Are you ready to go back to the hotel?

[Baymax runs through his checklist, he had given care instructions, extra pain medicine, and his phone number to his patient, that should be everything.

There's a loud meow as Mochi rubs against Chihiro's legs. Seems like he wants a pet before their visitor leaves.]

[codeforhope]

[The boy smiles, bending down to stroke the top of Mochi's head and down the length of his back.]

I'm ready. Papa is probably wondering where I am, if he's back by now.

[bahalalala]

[Mochi likes that, arching his back into Chihiro's hand and purring loudly.

Baymax nods.]

I do not want your father to be worried about you.

[He waddles over to the door and opens it for Chihiro, waiting for his patient to walk out before he follows.]

I am still learning the layout of the town, so I may not have the location of your hotel in my database. However, there are usually maps present that we can use in case we cannot find the way.

[codeforhope]

[He gives Mochi one more pet before walking outside, staying close to Baymax as they walk out into the gloom of the evening.]

It shouldn't be far...but it's hard to tell in the dark.

[bahalalala]

[Mochi rewards Chihiro with another loud purr, rubbing against his legs.

Baymax is glad that his patient is sticking close, otherwise he would have made certain that he was close by.

He nods once.]

Understood. Do not worry, I will not leave you until we have found your hotel.

[codeforhope]

Thank you.

I think it's this way.

[He says next, pointing down the street.]

[bahalalala]

[Baymax nods and turns to face the correct direction, walking with Chihiro. He stays just a step or so behind, so that his patient can lead the way.

A thought occurs to him.]

How long are you going to be in San Fransokyo?

[codeforhope]

Umm...a few more days, at least. We have been here for a week almost, already.

[It's been nice in the town, though, disregarding his experience tonight.]

[bahalalala]

[Baymax nods slowly.]

Perhaps we will meet again. I stay in the cafe most days, though I go out into the city with Hiro sometimes.

[codeforhope]

That would be nice. Maybe you and Hiro will get to meet my Papa. He would be very interested to see you.

[bahalalala]

[Baymax gives Chihiro a polite nod.]

I would not mind meeting your father, I am sure Hiro would not mind it, either.

[Since he's a robot, he can't exactly like or dislike anything, but he likes meeting new people as much as an emotionless robot can.]

Does your father work in robotics or healthcare?

[codeforhope]

Oh...not healthcare. But he does work with technology. Moreso various types of coding and programming, and not necessarily robotics themselves.

[bahalalala]

[Baymax nods thoughtfully.]

What sort of things does he code and program?

[He's curious about everything, it's part of his learning program. The more he observes and asks about, the more he knows and can possibly apply to healthcare situations.]

[codeforhope]

Lots of things. Though he mostly works with large databases of information...whatever he's given to make, he makes it.

I learned everything I know from him.

[bahalalala]

[Baymax tilts his head.]

Are you a programmer, too?

[codeforhope]

I am, yes. I work mainly with a project I've been working on for quite some time...

[...well, he figures it would be alright to tell Baymax.]

I've been slowly developing an AI program much like yourself, though more for general information rather than healthcare.

[bahalalala]

[Baymax blinks once as he processes this information.]

Is your AI a database program?

[He could see how that would be useful, he sometimes had to look up healthcare matters that he wasn't programmed for.]

[codeforhope]

Yes, it is. It can process and obtain whole wealths of information.

[bahalalala]

Will everyone be able to access the database?

[codeforhope]

Perhaps, someday. I've been...working on it mostly in secret. Not very many people know about it yet.

[bahalalala]

[Baymax nods.]

I hope that you will be able to finish your database.

[He's aware that it can take a long time to code a program. Because of the fact that he's a robot who knows people at a school specializing in technology, he's picked up pieces of information about the process here and there.]
