Al nodded, his expression looking a bit focused, "Got it!" It sounded simple enough. Not real pain, false. Just ignore it and you won't feel it. Al's thoughts drifted again as he eyed Tracey's wings. She must have been like... a high fallen angel right? Usually only two wings, so... "Your wings are so amazing... can you fly?"

Tracey once again appeared to be immensely flustered by Al's flattery. He was used to bolstering egos, if there was one thing he was good at it was making people feel superior to him. "Oh these are just an echo of my old wings. Before I was a weapon I was so much more grand, that at least I do remember. I never walked upon the ground, I flew everywhere. Golems don't fly well darling." He sniffed pitifully. "I am glad you still like them though. You can touch them if you would like, but really they are nothing but illusion."
He clasped his hands neatly. "They come in unique shapes and sizes, some of the ones that the humans use are in suits they can't take off, others can look like people like me, people from Halloween. They are all important for the organisation."

Al took Tracey up on the invitation and approached to grope one if her wings rather invasively, "Wow... they feel so real for an illusion." Al distantly wondered if Nuru had wings as cool as that too.
Nuru answered of his own accord, he couldn't help the jealous clip to his thoughts as they mingled alongside Al's. Al worried why Nuru would be so concerned. It's not like they're dating. Definitely not.
Nuru was being ignored in favour of Tracey's amazing wings.
Once Al was satisfied, he finally paid attention to Tracey's words again, "They are?"

Tracey was entirely unruffled by Al's exploration of the golem's wings. He felt even more detached from this form than he had from his old one, merely inhabiting a construct. But he maintained the act he'd been sustaining, smiling shyly as he looked over his shoulders.
"Yes! Very important, William doesn't use them much for anything but I think you will have to. Death division seems to be all about golems in many ways. So I felt it was good you got a look at one before you had to use one! And William agreed."

"Really?" Al looked surprised. "So Rep sent you here to teach me?" Al felt flattered Rep thought that much about him. Up until now he thought he was just that obnoxious new guy he just woke up.

"Yes indeed." Tracey said. "I think he likes you, you show a lot of promise and you are happy to listen to him. Not many people do, it's rather sad. He only wants the best for them." Lying was beyond easy, there was no difference between a truth and a lie other than the eventual end.
The fallen angel patted Al's shoulder. "He wouldn't have given you his scarf if he didn't think you were worth helping."

Al's face burned red and he couldn't help the dopey smile, "Wow. I hope I'm not a disappointment then..."
Al mentally shooed Nuru away. Ruining how awesome he felt right now. The pretty lady brought good news with her and Al was not going to let Nuru piss on it.
"Well, I like him for certain... and you."

"Well you are still listening aren't you?" he said. "You can't be a disappointment while you are still trying."
He chuckled airily, once again playfully waving him off. "You are determined to break this golem by making me blush excessively aren't you? I like you too, Al McAy."

"If I stop trying, then I die - right?" Al pouted at Tracey playfully. "Plus, I like to think you guys are my friends... right?" Another very subtle test of Tracey's gender... then again most ladies would never take 'guys' to only mean men. Still, it was worth a shot.

"Yes. You die if you stop trying but some people still do. It's sad. You have lots of fight in you though darling, I can see that." He gave Al a playful wink, picking up on the searching intent. "Not strictly guys." he said cryptically. "But yes, of course we are your friends."

Al lit up at Tracey's response. He felt that cinched it.
Nuru was getting more and more annoyed by the minute. Al still ignored him.
"So what do you do for fun?"

Tracey gave Al a very cryptic smile, as if the simple things he was saying might not be the whole story. Let him have a little imagination around it all. "Well being a weapon, I am only permitted golem time for a short time each week, on those days I like to knit, read or indulge in other simple pleasures."
"Life as a weapon is woefully unexciting I'm afraid."

"That's a shame, I like to think weapons experience things like... through us. Sorta like if I'm eating it's like Nuru is eating too."
Al gave a quick roll of his eyes.

"We do. Its not the same as actually participating in whatever activity it may be, but there's definitely a lovely little vicarious thing from it. Nuru should be able to share in things with you too. Its more like we enjoy what the activity does to your brain I suppose. It is difficult to explain. We enjoy being polished too, we can't feel it tactile but its lovely darling, you should really take care of him."
He smiled broadly. "Take care of us, we take care of you. Just don't take it personally if in William's hands I ever injure you, it is never personal, you have my word."

Al looked thoughtful for a moment, "I made a little bed for Nuru. Does that matter?
Wait... what did she just say about injuring me? "Could... you repeat that?"
