I have understanding. They are not giving with open hands.
[It would be too generous if they were offering gifts without strings attached, wouldn't it? No, they're meant to use these things for a purpose. Offering these gifts benefits these "machines" just as much as it benefits them, as long as they use them properly. It's no different from giving a friend a weapon, knowing they'll use it to fight at your side.
So these clothes..... are a weapon. A weapon to help them be intimate with each other. If that's how they fight and survive and thrive in this place, then Petra doesn't intend to fall behind if Ferdinand needs her, or to let the machines think she isn't worthy of making use of their assistance. Is that a glitter of satisfaction in her eyes, seeing the way she holds his gaze?]
I have gratitude for the warning, but there is no need for worry. You can be counting--um, can count on me. Who is the Augur?
