Cid here.

Wanted to leave a quick note and thank you to everyone who helped test my little inventions last month. They should be finalized and ready for official public release next month, but as promised those who helped will receive theirs earlier once ready. Just let me know where to send them off or I can contact you for pick up later.

On that note, I wanted to inquire if anyone had any requests or suggestions as to what I, or any other inventor here, should work on. Whether it's improvements or some alternate version of something that already exists here, or perhaps something similar from your own world.

While I am working with magitech, I am more interested in electrical and mechanical engineering, and I'd rather stay away from weaponry unless it's more for defensive or nonlethal use. So anything of that nature will be more my type.

Always appreciated.
Cid

[Longer than her.]

Good luck enjoying them.

[garudas]

Whoever said you wouldn't be a part of it?

[ramuhs]

Perhaps those are part of the cut hours.

[garudas]

Last I recall, you were the one begging me, but suit yourself.

[ramuhs]

Begging is a stretch. I just asked and you were ready to jump at the chance.

[garudas]

You were quite keen on spoiling your real breakfast with dessert.

[ramuhs]

As if you weren't so eager yourself. Think you looked more at me than the food.

[garudas]

You say that as if you are innocent. Which you are not.

Anyway.

I meant what I'd said earlier, Cidolfus.

[ramuhs]

And I meant what I said as well.

I can't guarantee there won't be SOME times where I might get absorbed into it, but I will be better at managing my schedule. And if I don't, you are more than welcome to drag me out.

[garudas]

You know exactly what you signed up for with me.

[ramuhs]

I did.

[And then a thoughtful hum before he decides to give her a buzz.

Ring ring ring ring. Voice only~]

[garudas]

[Dear lord—

She'd been in the middle of writing a message back when her phone very suddenly starts vibrating in her hands that she nearly drops it.

And it will be her very (un)pleasant voice that answers.]

Will you quit doing that!?

[ramuhs]

Quit what?

[And just a nice, deep voice right into her ear, the smirk faintly audible.]

[garudas]

[Oh, it isn't faint at all. She can hear it loud and clear in that deep, rumbling tenor of his voice, how annoying! And she hopes that he can hear that deep frown of hers.]

Calling me so suddenly like that! The messages were just fine, you know.

[ramuhs]

Thought this would be easier and faster.

What were you going to say?

[garudas]

[He doesn't just get to turn it around on her again after that! Ugh!

He'll get a bristling silence from the other end before she finally answers, her voice now sharpened slightly with an edge of ire and embarrassment.]

You know exactly what I was going to say.

[He should! So that she doesn't have to explain it to him!!!

But her voice does soften. A bit.]

... Have you already forgotten what I told you?

[ramuhs]

Mmm, you've told me a lot of things. Care to remind me?

[garudas]

[Can he stop humming in her ear like that?]

I don't like seeing you so absorbed...

[ramuhs]

[NOPE. Deliberately going to speak in a lower drawl as if he is very intimately speaking right into her ear in person.]

I thought you liked my "focused, studious" look. At least I know you liked watching and staring at me in the past.

[garudas]

[IGNORING that shiver in her spine right now.]

I do.

But not when it comes at the cost of something else.

[ramuhs]

That something else being...our quality time together?

[garudas]

[When he puts it like that, it makes her skin tingle and crawl.

So, she just hums in affirmation into the phone.]

[ramuhs]

[A quiet chuckle.]

You're quite the needy thing, aren't you?

[garudas]

[He really should stop talking like that on the phone, especially right in her ear. He might catch that little sigh from her end if he listens closely... She just wishes he were saying that in a different context.]

I am, and you know that there is only one person who can sate that.

[Flirting aside...

And she's very clearly struggling with this next part.]

Do not forget what is really important.

[ramuhs]

[No, he thinks he'll continue—

But there's a fonder smile there, as well as a small (low) hum.]

I think it would be hard for me to forget that. After all, took me this long to find it again.
