Pai

Near the Blasted Steps, in the dusty, sandy ground, you noticed an unfamiliar figure, one that had never been there before, not on your previous journeys through that same place, at least. The inert silhouette was clearly covered in dust; for a moment, you even thought it was a dead creature, or a discarded machine from the Citadel. But then, though somewhat clumsy and weak, the being slowly rose, even turning to face you. You noticed it bore a resemblance to the Citadel's architects, but it was clearly damaged or broken, and painted a different color than their usual bronze or gold. "I-my apologies, wandering creature. I-it's not my t-intention to disturb you," the mechanical being spoke, rising completely to leave, but not before bowing respectfully to you, as if you were a superior, even though you weren't.
