[No it really isn't, but that was fine. That knowledge was useful for a plethora of reasons. Everything? Really? That's what I thought. It was kind of night and day how Seto was with her to compared to others. Don't think he wasn't also grateful that she was so confident in her own feelings that she could tune out the disparaging opinions of others. There isn't a thing he wouldn't do to protect her, which was as close as he could come to admitting his affection for her. Words had never been his strong suite when it came to this. It's like he had a mental block on the subject, gestures, actions and body language would largely have to be her cues. Well- and tone. The way he tended to tease her without the vehemence he reserved for others] The top of the line, though I'd personally have no use for 65% of it's functions. It makes a statement. [It says, I too am top of the line and I can afford this overly expensive kitchen device] Speaking of which- if you see any coffee maker on the beach, let me know. [He wanted to spend less time at Heavenly Leblanc. It was best for all involved. Then he crinkled his nose to her claim.] I... don't really know why he's so attached...

Mm. There are some creatures you can befriend without capture. Maybe if you got more on their level so you didn't look intimidating, brought some treats, and let them come to you... [Not wanting her to feel like she had to forgo anything]

[Once things are in position and awaiting her inspection, he's further confused by this whole exchange. They could acquire some of these materials, but not all of them as she lamented but the most baffling part was... he was talking to Ann? Ann Takamaki? About circuitry? So his sharp blue eyes just stared at her like she had 7 heads. It wasn't that what she was saying was out of the realm of reason...]

Who are you, and where did you leave Ann? [When would a model/high school student really need this information? Unless they were in the AV club]

[menaretrash]

[ Fortunately, Seto doesn't need to worry about saying anything to her. She gets it, and she knows that he feels the same way that she does just by the way he treats her. Who else, other than Ren, would have put up with the things he had at the New Year's party? She doesn't remember a whole lot about that night, but when she'd awakened hours later she was home and he'd been right at her side. He'd bothered to even stay with her for a few hours after that, making sure that she wasn't too ill from an evening of... whatever the hell happened. She knows from the way he holds her, and kisses her, too, of course, the way he allows her to link arms with him or hold his hand. Not to mention the plethora of gestures that have been reserved for her and her alone. Don't worry, Seto. She knows. ] Maybe you could use the other functions for other things, you don't know. You could make something you really enjoy! You could add more coffee to the milk in the frother, or like, espresso to make the froth on top caffeinated too. [ She's got a whole lot of ideas about how that thing could be used, okay. ] Oh! Yeah, if I find one I'll bring it to you right away. [ She can't really say as she blames him. She's no stranger to the animosity that goes on between Ren, Akechi, and Seto, after all. ] He saw something in you, clearly! He's got good taste.

Yeah, maybe! I could try that... though I really wish this place would just start spitting out normal animals like cats or dogs. I wouldn't mind a puppy...

[ Or a kitten, but, you know. Morgana might get jealous. ]

Mm? [ She blinks up at him, before her cheeks take on a light pink tinge as he stares at her in disbelief. Apparently, her secret study sessions have paid off! Too bad there's no books about duel monsters here too to sorta... study on her off time too, alas. At least she's starting strong here with the electronics stuff. ] I mean, I don't know a whole lot of about this stuff, just um... you know.

[ She glances off to the side, a single digit scratching at her left cheek, before she adds: ]

On the broken one, if you look at the yellow resistor at the bottom, it's backwards. The gold band should be going to the right, not the left, but that's unlikely to cause the machine not to work. We should probably check the wiring, but we'd need some flux and a soldering iron... to fix anything like that or else we'd risk burning the board.

[At least Ann seemed to be able to interpret his unique brand of communication, otherwise these relationship wouldn't have worked. Perhaps once day he would find a way to voice it, if only to confirm it and make it somehow more official. If his dealings in business were any indication he knew it was better to get everything out in the open to prevent misunderstandings or miscommunication. Granted this wasn't anything so formal but he had to draw from something he was more experienced with] You're giving this way too much thought, but sure. A machine with multiple functions can be used for a variety of concoctions. [Feeling that all of this was obvious] I'd appreciate it- besides.. you owe me for those sewing supplies. [Cough] The best- when it came to selecting me. Now he's a little loose in his assessments. [Toby wanted to be everyone's friend]

I'm surprised that you'd want anything as common as a puppy? Why not a peacock, or a goose... [He's kidding]

Just... um you know? [Chuckling lightly as she fumbled through her words, the light tint appearing on her cheeks] Why would you even need to know any of this? [It was a gross oversight that the void didn't hold one of the rule books for the game of duel monsters]

[Quietly he looked where she directed, able to see the things she was describing. They didn't really have the appropriate tools for this, no. That much they both seemed perfectly aware of. Kaiba soon returned to blankly staring at her as if he was waiting for this moment to spontaneously end or for her to transform into someone he knew that was more mechanically inclined.]

You know what...? I think I have a better idea than fiddling with this garbage...

[menaretrash]

[ Ann's always been good at reading people, and while sometimes it can be a little hard, especially with Seto, for the most part she can generally read between the lines, the things that he's likely to have a harder time expressing verbally. Besides, their misunderstandings thus far have been sort of hilarious -- their first kiss on the beach had been a misunderstanding, to be fair, but it's something that while had been embarrassing at the time, has morphed into a fond memory. ] It can, I wish we had one right now... [ Because she can think of m a n y drinks they could make and try, okay. ] I know I do... hey. What if we found enough stuff on the beach to build one? [ He's pretty good with building things... ] He's got good judgment, but I'm also glad he's pretty friendly. If he wasn't, can you imagine the carnage he'd be capable of? [ Large, flailing legs, stampy hooves, and wings, man... like Giraffezilla. ]

Puppies are great! Dogs are loyal, you know? [ She pauses at his other suggestions, however. ] I wouldn't mind a goose... you can decorate a goose. Tie cute little ribbons around their necks, and they're loyal, too! Do you think we'll ever get geese here? [ She's. She's seriously considering now, Seto... ]

Yep, just.... um, you know! [ She laughs nervously and waves a hand dismissively, looking a little more than embarrassed. ] W-well, I dunno! It's not a bad thing to know, right? [ It's her ultimate goal to never let him find out that she's trying her hardest to study up on this shit and get more on his level, mostly because she's not sure if he'd really like that or not. She'll never be as smart or as talented at Seto, but she can at least make an attempt to better herself and be slightly more knowledgeable, right? ]

Hm? [ She blinks, pushing her nervous thoughts aside as he speaks again, and she looks back up at him, tipping her head slightly to the side. Why... is he looking at her like that........ ] Yeah? What did you have in mind?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Truthfully, most of their misunderstandings had a way of working themselves out and weren't over anything major. They were both feeling this relationship out in a way that was unique and personal for them, as it should be] Yeah, well we don't. [Briefly raising an eyebrow] I'm beginning to wonder if there might be one in the cache of items Legion and Turing gathered... [Surely, coffee makers could not be so rare] For this, I haven't given up finding one pre-fab. [Somehow it seemed too backward to have to build something you should be able to purchase.] Though if.. I did build one I would put my branding all over it. [Smirking at the rest] He couldn't rampage much before the other wildlife took him out... [Not saying Toby is a lightweight.. but ... well.. he does have feathers]

They also shed, drool, and eat slippers.. [They aren't cleanly enough, Ann] I thought people only decorated goose statues.. for whatever reason. [Not seeing the allure] If geese appear here they're get crossed with... a rutabaga or be entirely featherless like 70% of the birds here. [What has he done]

No, it's not a bad thing- just a suspicious one. [Letting her know that he's on to her. Not that he has anyway to prove that this is new knowledge or any evidence. There's only so far he can push this. There were still things that Ann would always excel at more than Seto too.]

Let's pick up some lunch from the food stands and blow this place for now.. [Ie. go hang out in a less populated area where they can have the illusion of more privacy] I can always see about collecting some of these cabinets later and working on them back at the apartments where I can dedicate more focus.. [You're distracting Ann. Lol]

[menaretrash]

[ They sure do, and really, most of their little mishaps are things that they (well, her, at least) can look back on fondly later on. Their first kiss on the beach, the way they'd threatened each other's very existence upon first meeting -- good times! ] Yet. [ Keep the faith, man-- ] They might, but also, you could literally make a coffee pot to whatever specs you wanted. It'd be customized to you. [ She blinks, because... of course he'd put his own branding on it. ] See!? It's not a bad idea! [ AND it'd keep his hands busy! ] True! Maybe we're really lucky that the giraffes didn't get fused together with something like a t-rex. [ Those teeth... ]

They don't eat slippers, silly. They just chew them until they're beyond repair. I love puppies, I've always wanted a dog! [ They're cute, loyal, they want to play, they're man's best friend! ] What? No, if you decorate a real goose, you don't need to worry about decorating a ceramic one. They'd be super cute... aww, I really want one now. [ She sighs, and then blinks and nearly chokes at the mental image of a rutabaga goose mash up. ] I mean, on the upside, it'd be healthy, right? Like. It could be cooked several ways... [ ...This is gonna get real dark, real quick. So much for keeping one as a pet. ]

D-don't worry about it. Nothing suspicious here~ [ She's going to have to hide those books if she ever wants him to come hang out at her place again, but at least she's got time to figure out how to keep him from stumbling upon them. Then again, maybe it would please him to know about her little study sessions. They, after all, just for him -- the last thing he needs is an entirely stupid girlfriend, and even if it kills her, she will not be entirely ignorant to the things he does and likes and wants to do.

Fortunately, however, food has been mentioned. And food is something she's never not going to be excited about. If she ever turns food down, know that she's probably dying. ]

Okay, that sounds like a good idea! [ And it is a good idea, too, because it's still pretty early and they've got an entire day of... whatever ahead. Clearly, they'll need the energy. ] If that's the case, on our way back to the apartments, lets circle back here. I'll help you carry them back.

[ She pushes herself up to her feet and stretches, flashing him a bright, ridiculously happy smile, before she reaches both hands out to him, intending to help pull him back to his feet, too, if he wants. She knows he doesn't need, or probably even want the help, it's more or less an excuse to just hold his hands, even if it's just for a few moments. ]

We could head down to the beach and see if we can't find that coffee maker for you, too... maybe even some tools. You never know what's washed up lately.
