[ pops back to human ]

Huh... I wonder if they're - mm, no, probably not.

[othellovonryan]

[Shrugs.] Their information to share.

[He grabs his staff and with a twirl, he makes a simple purple construct, a mold judging by the insides that can be seen. Putting the mold in a wooden brace to keep still as he grabs the tongs again and gonna pour in this metal.]

[bluediligence]

Oh, no, I wasn't trying to pry...

[ trails off with a soft OOOH, because this is fascinating ]

[othellovonryan]

I'd get out one of the containers. I didn't have time to make a pin cushion.

[He checks the metal has evenly distributed before putting the mold into the water trough to cool.]

[bluediligence]

One of my tupperware boxes?

[ grabs one and pulls the lid off ]

[othellovonryan]

Yes. You don't want to be carrying a bunch of needles in your pockets.

[He pulls out the mold once the metal is cooled and opening it and going to look over these needles. Quality Control is Important. Dropping the ones that pass into the container.]

[bluediligence]

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a good time! I just got this outfit back.

[ there's a bit of a wiggle in place as she valiantly restrains herself from bouncing ]

Thank you so much for this. Really! Next time you need help with something, let me know and I'll be there.

[othellovonryan]

This place can be quite rough on clothes. It is best to take care where you can.

I most likely will. I'm going to be making Sparrow's kitchen and that means I'm going to be asking for labor from you guys during it.

Oh. When you finish Raph's mask, give it to me. It was heavily implied Leo was going to do so and I'm using that as a judging metric, but also I don't want Raph to get uncomfortable not having a mask, so I'm going to see what gives first.

[bluediligence]

[ lol ]

[ she actually does laugh a little, quiet and light ]

You don't need to tell me that. [ she is

very very very very very very used to what places like this do to clothes ]

But wait, you're making a kitchen for us? I hadn't heard! — and I'll give the mask to you, don't worry.

[othellovonryan]

Uriel made a deal for it. She's going to help me finish up Robin's Egg's kitchen and then I'm going to do work on yours. It'll be a few days before I can start the work.

Though if you have any requests, sooner is better than later. Easier if I can work it into the design ahead of time.

[bluediligence]

Oh, uhm ...

What kind of requests?

[othellovonryan]

For stuff inside the kitchen.

...not appliances beyond a stove and oven, which I'm already accounting for. Those are fairly simple to make with the resources at hand. Appliances are a whole other thing and take a considerable more effort. That is a lot of varied tools I have to fabricate and that drains.

But certain cabinetry, or specialized spice racks or things like that.

[bluediligence]

Then ...

[ thinks ]

[ thinks even harder ]

[ ... well, there's only one thing she could ask for, isn't there ]

If it's not too much to ask, somewhere comfortable where we can sit together as a team?

[othellovonryan]

Kitchen dining room. Noted. That's mostly empty space, just requires more flooring.

[bluediligence]

Thank you!

A kitchen doesn't feel complete without somewhere to be together with people ... I think.

[othellovonryan]

[He nods.] The whole reason I wanted to build one was to allow for more ease of making food and eating together.

[bluediligence]

Mm. It's very kind of you; I really can't thank you enough.

Then all we'll need is a hot chocolate ruin!

[othellovonryan]

I mean, I am getting paid. [He's not sure HOW exactly, but he's getting paid. Even his generosity has limits.]

[Its probably not gonna be very expensive though.]

Oh, if only. Its been far too long since I had hot chocolate in this cold.

[bluediligence]

So? That doesn't make it, or you, any less kind.

[ bounces a lil on the balls of her feet, wings fluffing ]

One day, Hamato-san. One day there will be hot chocolate, even if I have to use a token to get it.

[othellovonryan]

[Oh.]

[She's insistent.]

Well.

There's nothing wrong with kindness. [He may be blushing as he turns to the fire to make sure its dying down.]

A noble goal, truly.

[bluediligence]

You're right! There isn't. [ except sometimes - no, shh. ]

[ it's worth it. ]

If I manage to get my hands on some, you'll be the first to know.

[othellovonryan]

Of course I'm right. I'm rarely not.

[Never mind he's still embarrassed being praised for kindness. Most people don't pick up on it, okay!]

I appreciate it.

[bluediligence]

Humble, too. [ it's good humoured, though. ]

[ egoes can be cute sometimes ]

[othellovonryan]

Bah, humble is for those who can't back up their words. I have never not delivered on my statements.

[bluediligence]

[ okay, no, now she's giggling ]

Never ever ever?
