[video]
[The video's not very clear when it comes on; it's dark and gloomy, showing hints of thick dust and cobwebs--a glimpse of a window reveals deep fog--and then it shifts to Rita's wide-eyed face. When she speaks, she's trying very hard to pretend she's calm...and failing pretty horribly.]
I-is anyone else stuck in this weirdo place? I mean, it's not like I need help or anything, but-
[A loud creak and sudden clatter of footsteps interrupts her, the shutters to the window abruptly blowing open, and she jumps with a yelp.] Aah--! Uh--it's not sc--just where's the exit, already?!
[Maybe realizing that the video's still recording her little freak-out, she quickly shuts it off.]
[ooc: Tags slow forever. ._. Sorry!]

action; ♥!
[ Even it that's a little annoying, he doesn't think of it much. He just nods. ] All right... [ Maybe a little more, then? It's hard to tell how thick it is when all he notices is how it's glowing. ] Hm...
action; ♥!
[She offers her opinion, as they need to wait just a bit more for it to becomes the consistency of a syrup.] Keep going. Just pay attention.
action; ♥!
[ He nods. ] Okay... [ He turns his head to the side to try to see it from the same view as when he watched her do it so he can try to eyeball it. There's still something exciting about working on this even if he feels like he can't make a mistake. It's still not coming together as quickly as when she did it. ]
action; ♥!
[She is glad he's interested. At one time, she never would've expected it...or expected that she'd be teaching someone her own techniques. It actually makes her smile a little bit as she watches him.
She notices when it comes together, but she reminds herself to give it a moment to let Tyr decide before saying anything.]
action; ♥!
[ He doesn't notice her smile, being too focused on the work at hand. He starts stirring more slowly, and after a few second, he pulls the rod out a little to see how viscous it is. ] Does this look okay to you?
[ It'll be her blastia, after all, and she'd know better than he does about these things. And he still doesn't look up at her. ]
action; ♥!
[Since he's asking, she has no problem answering-] Yeah, that's how it should be. So you noticed the change?
action; ♥!
[ He nods. ] Yeah, it was a little hard at first, but it sort of feels different, too... [ He pulls out the stir the rest of the way and starts for the other machine. Time to make a core-! ]
action; ♥!
[Aw yeah cores. Rita smiles again.] It's the kind of thing you'd get used to noticing pretty quickly.
action; ♥!
[ And now he actually smiles again, pausing before adding the mixture into the machine. ] So we'll be making a lot more blastia, huh?
action; ♥!
[She hadn't given it a lot of thought, though it's not a hard decision.] Yeah. So you'd better be prepared!
action; ♥!
You know I will be. [ Thinking about it makes him excited, turning his smile giddy, but he doesn't let that distract him from carefully pouring in the mixture. ]
action; ♥!
Good. Because next time, I'll have to show you how to put in a formula. [It's kind of nice to see him like that, too, and she finds she's really looking forward to working together on another one.]
action; ♥!
[ And then all the liquid is in the machine, and he pauses in his actions as he looks for how to start it. He doesn't usually get excited, neither in the City or back home, but making something with her and learning how to - that's become something he looks forward to. ] How about you tell me how to while we wait for this core to come together?
action; ♥!
[She hadn't thought of doing that yet--and her mild surprise turns to a smile.] Yeah, we can do that. This'll take a few hours, anyway.
action; ♥!
[ Ah, there's the switch. After closing it up, he starts up the machine and turns to her again. ] That's right. Do yo have an extra notebook to write in?
action; ♥!
[Rita nods approvingly, then hears his question. Oh, she probably does, but...She turns to look at the piles and shelves of books and papers.] ...There should be some around here.
action; ♥!
... [ He bets she has some books somewhere... He slips his hands into his pockets and just looks at her. ] You should organise this place...
action; ♥!
[She scowls back and tsuns at him.] There's nothing wrong with it! I can find them, no problem!
action; ♥!
If you say so... I'll leave finding a book to you.
action; ♥!
J-just watch!
action; ♥!
[ And he leans against the table. ] All right. Go on.
action; ♥!
[She grumbles and moves over to one stack of books, grabbing one with a blank cover--oh, she wrote inside it. Those get shoved onto the floor, quickly joined by more as she goes through them more and more impatiently, knowing that Tyr's watching.]
action; ♥!
[ ...And this is why her place is a wreck. He sighs quietly but doesn't move. He's pretty sure she'd turn him down if he tried to help anyway. ]
action; ♥!
[She huffs as kicks over another stack.] What?
action; ♥!
[ Wow... ] I'm just surprised you can find anything here...
