He gave Lucca a thoughtful look.

"...Do I really look as bad as all that?"

[sparkofgenius]

"Yes," is the answer.

"This isn't a life or death situation. We have time."

[schmott_guy]

"My father taught me mental exercises that help fight off fatigue. I can usually stay up for three or four days in a row before I start to get really loopy."

But he put down the pliers.

"I GUESS I could take a little break, though..."

[sparkofgenius]

"That would be advisable. You look beat. And there's no point in rushing."

Haste makes waste, her daddy always said.

"Have a seat, I'll get you some tea. I'm about done with that part anyway."

[schmott_guy]

"I really am doing fine." He insisted half heartedly. But he DID like tea...

[sparkofgenius]

She'll just start making it then, pouring out hot water and bringing over a tray with stuff to go into it.

"Be that as it may, no time like the present to relax and rest your eyes for a bit. This is herbal tea, it'll help recharge you faster."

[schmott_guy]

"Right..."

While he appreciated the thought on an academic level, it was only through intense concentration that he wasn't impatiently tapping his foot and glancing back at the half finished machine. He sat down and forced himself to try the tea, for politeness sake.

"...Say, this is actually pretty good!"

"An old Calderan recipe," she nodded as she poured herself out a cup and offered to refill his. "I imported the roots and crushed them myself. Glad you like it."

[schmott_guy]

"I didn't take you as the type who did a lot of her own from-scratch cooking." He shook his head at the offered refill, but sipped some more.

[sparkofgenius]

"Well, I do a lot of things. My mom's fond of cooking, so I figured I should learn. Otherwise I'd probably starve or go broke eating take-out."

A laugh.

"Which could theoretically be something this invention improves...hotter food getting to places quickly."
