[THAT IS TERRIBLE WOW. What the heck Escha oh my god escha your family traumas.
That gets some recognition from him, though.]
Ah! Like 45 or C3PO? [Nodding along... He gets it, to a degree. He also really does not get it to a degree.] Did the two of you get along well? Are you still close?
Exactly like that. Um... More like 45, though. She looks like a normal person. Mostly.
[ Don't worry about it! ]
We get along very well, even if I don't see her quite as often because of work. She still checks on me every now and then to reminisce, and to bug me about having grandchildren.

[ She probably says that a little too lightly, but it's because it was a long time ago, and she doesn't want him to feel bad about her answer. ]
I first learned alchemy from my mom, though.

Is Clone a relative? [Curiously, but lightly; an easy out if she doesn't want to talk about it.]
But that must be nice, then - having that sort of connection.
[To share a tie to her mom in that way, he means - similar to how his mother was also a strong cultivator.]

[ Like C-3PO! Only way more human-passing. Visually. Also Escha's dad is? Fine? He's just around somewhere in town?? Don't worry about it.
And - Escha nods. ]
Yeah. My mom - and alchemy... They're both such warm, comforting things.

Anyway, his brow furrows a little.]
I'm not sure what that is... [C3PO described himself in a different way WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ROBOTS. As for these creature comforts, though:]
I can see why you're so dedicated to it, then! If you have that kind of tie to alchemy, it's no wonder you'd always strive to do better and better.

It's a machine, basically. Like... A living doll, almost.

Why is it that everyone is so obsessed with your marital and child-rearing situations...
[He still remembers that time trial got derailed because everyone was trying to marry off Escha for a goat or something. TERRIBLE.]
But it's good you get along! I'm sure she's lovely to know.
