Peace Be Upon You

You trudged your way through the snowy mountains of the region, actively searching for a place to rest. Flesh and blood does not take kindly to the cold after being exposed so long to the biting winds and snapping ice. Your team stuck close to you. After all, you are their leader; a mother to them, you could say. Though you are very young and could not actually be a mother to any of them, you always had a sense of needing to protect them. No protecting was needed though, as you notice a monastery peak its way into your sight. 

"Abri!" You hear a fellow Frenchman call out as he notices the monastery as well, and you can't help but giggle a bit, nodding your head as you hear the rest of them sigh in relief. "Maintenant, nous ne devrons pas planter des tentes et attiser un feu froid." Another of them says, relieved the group won't have to go another night cold. You smile and trudge your way through, responding with a simple "Oui."

As you approach the monastery, you notice there are no large wooden doors blocking the monks from the cold, only a courtyard surrounded by several buildings. As your eyes scan the area, you notice an omnic, apparently a monk, standing in the cold, dead center in the courtyard, with his hands placed together in front of his body. "Excuse me, sir?" Your French accent is thick, but what does it matter? Hopefully the guy's nice. 

His head slowly turns towards you, though his eyes don't seem to-- what are you talking about, all omnics' eyes look like that 24/7. "Are you people seeking help?" It was more of a statement than a question, as if he knew your distressed state; which he damn well should too, the whole group is covered with layers of sweat and snow at the same time. The omnic merely waves his hand, ushering for your group to follow him. You lead the way, behind the silver and golden omnic of course, and he guides you all inside. 

~~~~A few hours later~~~~

You noticed many humans and omnics alike were in the monastery, and let your group of 5 take warm baths and accept food before you ever did. The omnic who helped you noticed your still-shaking body, and was soon at your side, an aura of almost... concern, followed his presence. 

"Here, take these." He holds out a blanket for you, which you gladly accept. At the mere nod of a head, the omnic wraps the blanket around your now-bare arms, seeing as you had changed into something that didn't make you waddle like a penguin. "My name is Zenyatta, by the way." You nod your head. "What brings your group to these mountains? They are not kind at this time of year."

You chuckle. "We do not tend to stay in comfortable environments as is, but we need to get home some way. Why not take a hike?" Zenyatta... chuckles? "I am (Y/N), by the way. Thank you for offering help to my family and I." He turns his head to the side a bit.

"They are your family?" You blink.

"Well, you could say they are. If you've ever been so close to someone they feel more like a brother rather than a friend, you would understand." You give him a soft smile, and he just gazes at you. You don't know much about omnics, and understand even less, and you aren't even sure if they can feel closeness. 

"I understand." You smile and nod your head. "Is that why you let them all bathe before you did so?" You nod your head.

"Indeed. I put their needs and wants in front of my own." Zenyatta nods his head once. You just now notice that instead of sitting beside you, he is levitating on the ground, and you can't help but chuckle.

"You are a kind person, (Y/N). I feel it in your heart." He reaches a cold, metallic hand forward and places it on your chest, over your heart. He feels it beat a mile a minute, and pulls back slowly, a bit surprised. "Are you in good health? Your pulse is quite high."

You only smile and nod your head. "I am fine, perhaps only thinking of what would have happened if we hadn't found this monastery." Zenyatta puts his hands together again.

"You needn't worry of something that will not happen. Your family is safe, as are you. You are all welcome to stay here as long as you like." You smile and bow your head towards the omnic.

"Thank you, Zenyatta. We greatly appreciate this." He nods his head and emits an aura of... happiness? 

"Now... would you like some hot tea while you wait for a bath? You need something other than a thin blanket to warm you." Zenyatta offers as he stands.

"Oh, that would be wonderful." He nods his head and begins to walk away before you stop him. "Oh, and Zenyatta?" He looks at you, turning towards you as well and placing his hands together. "May we-"

"Talk more tonight?" He finishes your sentence, leaving you there with your mouth hanging open like a fish waiting for a hook. Zenyatta does his odd chuckle again, and emits a different aura, one of... caring. "I would enjoy doing so." With that, he's off to the kitchen to make that tea he promised you a conversation over.

~~A/N~~
