Iron Sapph had found his way to the lab and had most of his armor disassembled and being cleaned, with his helmet still being on his head, with the speaker being off so he could talk with WILLIS without being interrupted. "How about a little warning next time you need a private conversation? It makes me look bad and makes you look like a malignant virus."
"Because blame always makes up for social shortcomings." WILLIS responded, a hint of sarcasm in the AI's tone. "And isn't it fortunate that none of the monster's dough got into your helmet, sir?"
"We wouldn't be having this conversation if it did."
"By the way, I took the liberty of checking the guest list of everyone else who was invited to the event in two days, and there's someone you should be made aware of."
"Don't say it." Iron Sapph said, sighing. "The mere mention of that woman's name always makes her appear out of thin air."
"If you say so. But how did you know?" WILLIS asked.
"Because everything I get invited to she gets invited to." Iron Sapph responded. "You know she won't forget about that one time I got drunk."
"Which 'one time' was that?" WILLIS asked, a bit delayed in his response, which made it clear to Iron Sapph that the AI was looking over the many 'one time's from the not-quite-recent past.
"The one she brings up every time we're forced to talk face-to-face. Which is just about every party. And, for the record, I've been good about staying sober in public." He replied, setting the cleaning tools he was using down. "That should clean up the thrusters enough to get me home."
