That's right. He's a very smart little robot. Angel told me that he used to be a type of, um... military drone, I think. Though it doesn't look like he has any sort of weaponry anymore. And whatever kind of equipment he was supposed to use to talk doesn't seem to be working like it should. But he still does his best to communicate.
[She sounds oddly proud of the poor thing.]
Let's see... He can sing a couple different songs. He enjoys getting hugs, quite a bit. And he cares for Rhys very much. I think they both miss each other horribly, especially now that Rhys isn't feeling well.
If it's okay, would you mind if the two of us brought Dumpy back? Angel said they should be at the house with warm water.
O-oh goodness, that really works out for the best, then! Oh, I'm so glad, Quark.
I don't think he'd mind at all. He's a little loud, but I don't think he means any harm by it.
I do have a few other things you can look through, but we can save that for later. Maybe make it a surprise of sorts. [Because she can't outright tell Quark that she has root beer. Because he never told her. Yes, he'd talked to Tenmyouji about a root-beer float, and yes, she'd seen that on the camera backlogs along with everything else when she'd had time to snoop around. But Quark doesn't know that, and she wants to keep it that way.

[Luna would probably be able to hear the smile in his voice.]
You found him in the snow, right? I think I remember you saying you found him back when we were all moved around. What's he like?

[Quark hesitates, as if he's embarrassed to ask his next question.]
Do you think he'd mind if I hugged him too?

So... surprise it is, for now.]
