The girl looked up as her head was patted, and gave a single nod. It was impressive the range of responses she could get out of that one movement.

Things started to make sense when Nate explained it to him. "Oh, I see..." He looked at Cassia. "Well its nice to finally meet you." Iron said happily. Then he looked to Nate. "So why were you two on the roof?"

"Cassia's growing a bonsai tree up there," Nate answered, craning his neck upward to look at the roof again, "she's trying to use the Power Stone as a light source, but I don't think it's working... I promised her I'd get her a proper sun lamp as soon as possible." He turned back towards the buck. "So, why were you looking for Zack?"

"I was hoping he'd be back home already. Its been a while since I did a project with him." Iron said to Nate, last he heard, Zack left the village with his niece for some reason. But now back to the question that came to mind. A sun lamp? This seemed to spark his interest. "A sun lamp, huh? Well I could probably build one if I could. But at the moment I don't have the right materials to do it." Lately, Iron used up his spare parts on other projects.

"Really? You could build one? That would be much appreciated," Nate replied, "of course, there's the matter of getting the parts you need, isn't there?" There was a short pause as Nate thought over the options. This was followed soon after by him looking back at Iron with a slightly mischievous grin. "You doing anything else today? I think we can afford a quick visit aboveground to pilfer a few pieces of scrap iron from Dr. Robotnik, wouldn't you say? It's not like he's going to be missing it anytime soon."

With a smile back at Nate, Iron agreed with a nod. "A scavanger hunt I suppose. Well Ive got a lot of time on my hands, so sure.its for Cassia after all."

"Alrighty, then... To Robotropolis, Iron!" With a dramatic finger-point, Nate began to march off. However, he quickly came to a stop and turned to back to the buck and the sparrow. As far as he knew, there really wasn't anyone he trusted to leave Cassia with. It was one of the only reasons he chose to stay behind rather than join Zack on his trip to Knothole: He didn't want to leave the girl alone. He certainly wasn't going to do so now. "Say, Cassia..." Nate began, "Would you like to come along? There's nothing to fear, we're just going to grab the parts for your sun lamp and whatever else Iron needs. We probably won't even run into any SWATbots while we're up there." He offered his (flesh-and-blood) hand to her, hoping to encourage her to come along. "What say you?"

The girl was quiet as she looked at Nate's hand, and considered the ferret's request. He WAS right... it wasn't like Robotnik had SWATbots guarding the junkyard... And they wouldn't be thre long, but... It was ROBOTROPOLIS.Then... her eyes came up and met Nate's. "..." After another long moment, she simply nodded again, and took his hand. She could trust Nate. He wouldn't let her get caught.

"Given that the junkyard shouldn't be protected too well, its still pretty dangerous." The buck said, then reconsidered. "Then again, between the two of us I don't think we'll have much of a problem." He looked at Cassia. "I promise, we won't let them near you, Cassia." Iron said to the sparrow.

Taking Cassia's hand, Nate began to lead her toward the exit of Lower Mobius. The upcoming "mission" would require his utmost attentiveness and a lot of focus, but that was far from his mind right now. He was still thinking about that smile.

The sparrow followed Nate silently, her mind going over everything her (adoptive) father had told her about the foul city... Just as it ALWAYS did if she was going to leave Lower Mobius.
