[bropane]

Really, it's fine.

[ he takes a sip of his tea, still smiling, of course. and he holds out a hand as if telling her to stop worrying.

once he sets the cup down, he calls mochi over to give him a pat on the head. ]

Our aunt, the one I told you about who owns Mochi.

[allergictoloveletters]

Well, she has excellent taste in pets. [She smiled, watching Mochi quite content with Tadashi.]

What's she like?

[bropane]

Only the best aunt ever.

[ he looks down at his tea again, feeling rather nostalgic. ]

She tooks care of us without complaining.

[allergictoloveletters]

Well, she did an excellent job. [She took a sip.] You and Hiro are both very sweet, and besides, two genius boys can't be very easy.

[bropane]

You make it sound like I was like my brother when I was his age.

[allergictoloveletters]

I've only known Hiro to be a gentleman, are you saying he isn't?

[bropane]

[ he can't help but laugh at that. ]

Not to me, he definitely isn't.

[allergictoloveletters]

Well, I've never had a sibling, though I suppose that could be true as you're his older brother. Still, I suppose you are quite the gentleman he has to live up to.

[bropane]

That's-- [ he pauses, a bit red on his cheeks by such a compliment. but he's quick to revert back to his usual coolness. ] You're giving me too much credit.

[allergictoloveletters]

[She laughed as he blushed, pressing a hand over her mouth.] I doubt that. [She sipped her tea, giving him breathing room over the situation.]

You certainly haven't shown me proof against my statement, and until I have evidence suggesting otherwise, Tadashi, my theory stands.

[bropane]

I'll be sure to be on my guard to see if he's really a gentleman or not.

[ he lets out a chortle. ]

Anyway, when we're done with tea, do you want to check out something that I've been working on?

[allergictoloveletters]

We could always have you hide while he and I talk? [She laughed. At the mention of his work, she suddenly set her cup down.]

Oh I'd love to! [She blushed and cleared her throat.] I'd love to. [She said a little softer, not wanting to wake Hiro.]

I can I get a hint on what it is?

[bropane]

I'm just upgrading my gear, really. Nothing exciting.

[ though he does feel a tad bit excited that ami's shown interest in his work. ]

Usually, Hamadas aren't supposed to show people their work when it's unfinished, but I'm sure I can make an exception to that.

[allergictoloveletters]

[She set down the empty teacup into the sink, smiling as she came close to Tadashi.]

Well, I'm quite glad you're bending the rules for me. Lead the way!

[bropane]

[ tadashi's extension of his workshop is just by the living room, covered by a divider. ]

Remember those gloves you saw me wear in the jungle? I'm trying to upgrade it to see if I can control the voltage.

[ ami may also see a dragon head the size of two giant watermelons. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

I do remember. [She blinked at the dragon head and glanced over to Tadashi. Gloves first, dragon later.]

What metal do you use to conduct the voltage?

[bropane]

[ INSERT SOME SMART ANSWER HERE RE THE METAL because they never revealed what hiro's gloves are made of. ]

It just needs a little tweaking.

[allergictoloveletters]

Do you use alternating currents or direct currents? The gloves would be able to handle far more voltage with alternating currents, though you would need to change the power source if it's battery powered. You could put in a small transformer, perhaps?

[bropane]

Good thinking.

[ he smiles at ami's direction before typing that in on his laptop which is already turned on. ami may notice that there's a bunch of windows open related to programming. ]

I'll do just that. Thanks, Ami.

[allergictoloveletters]

Not at all, though if that doesn't work we can continue to work down the possibilities of how to create higher voltage. [Such a pity Makoto wasn't here, she was a master of electricity. She blushed as she studied the gloves and then gazed at the dragon.]

Alright, my curiosity is piqued, what is the dragon head for?

[bropane]

Oh, [ he puts a hand on the head. ] I'm making a dragon robot that can fight.

It was a request by a friend. I've yet to start on yours, to be honest. Sorry for the wait.

[ he bows his head slightly as he apologises. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

[She examines the head and runs a finger along a giant fang.]

Should I expect robot fighting sometime soon or is this more in protection for the various issues CERES causes?

[She stops as he bows his head and comes over to him, resting a hand on his elbow.]

It's fine, Tadashi, I really don't mind waiting. I didn't think about all the other requests you likely had at the time. You're making me an octopus, how could I be upset at how long it takes?

[bropane]

Robot fighting's definitely going to happen, [ he laughs, rubbing the back of his neck. ] I don't know if you've talked to Hawke, but she wants to fight dragons to get stronger.

[ which, in turn, could lead to protection for the various issues, etc. so it works out in the end. ]

I'll try to get yours done as soon as possible, though. Don't worry.

[allergictoloveletters]

Ha, well, I'll cheer you on then. [She laughs.] I don't believe I've spoken to Hawke-san, no.

[She smiled.]

Well, as I said, if you need any assistance with the abilities of it, just let me know. Unfortunately, my last pet was an enemy in disguise. It will be nice to have one built with good intent.

[bropane]

[ he lets out another chortle. ]

You got it. You definitely don't have to worry about enemies with me around.

[ ah, tadashi, phrasing. that could mean something else, but well!!! he does mean it. ]
