[ The friendly way she addresses BD-1 gets a smile out of Cal—treating his droid well is literally the easiest way to get into his good graces. He has kind of a huge soft spot for BD-1. ]

It means he was built for exploration, to accompany explorers and researchers on long expeditions. His last master was a scholar before I picked him up.

[ One of the younger children spots BD-1 and comes over to play(?) with this interesting new toy, arms outstretched and barreling forward like a railspeeder. BD-1 lets out an alarmed whistle and scurries up Cal's leg, until he's clinging out of reach to his back. Now it's probably obvious why he was hiding before... ]

Oh, uh. [ To the child, who is clearly disappointed, he says: ] Maybe you can play with him later.

[ BD-1 beep-boops shrilly, and if vocabulated beeps could sound betrayed—they do now. ]
