three 🔧 it's been how long?! (slightly backdated to the beginning of the month, i hate covid)

[midifications]

[Whew. Has she ever felt so rested? She certainly doesn't remember the last time she slept so well! Her little shellphone tells her what time it is, so Mid grabs it to check it and... what is... that date....?! WHAT THE FU—]

Okay. I can't be going crazy and the date today on this shellphone isn't really the date, right?! And if it is, what the hell happened while I was asleep?!

[:') being in a sleep bubble really fucks with you.]

They make him look more rugged, it's fine.

[She's kidding! She doesn't like giving Cid more grey hairs, but she couldn't help it this time.]

Feels like it's only been a night though, not a whole bleedin month.

[gruffier]

Suppose he could do to look a little more rough around the edges.

[ Kidding, too, of course. But perhaps it was the relief that covered the absolutely worry he himself was feeling this past month... ]

I had thought to pop the bubbly myself to see if you would wake up, but didn't want to risk it.

How are you feeling? No stiff bones?

[midifications]

Right?? You understand me, Clive, always knew you did. It's why I like you so much.

[She is pretty fond of him, after all.]

No stiff bones here, it's like I was only asleep for the one night and that was it. Doesn't feel real that I was asleep for a whole month.

[gruffier]

Rather fond of you myself:) but next time you decide to sleep for that long, at least warn us a far bit in advance.

We would have made better arrangements for you.

[midifications]

If I could have warned you, I would have! I don't really like that I slept for THAT LONG. It's ridiculous!

I did sleep like a bairn though, so it's not like it was uncomfortable. Just woke up with a bit of bedhead.

[gruffier]

Can't imagine with that much hair.

[ But Clive ALWAYS looks like he has bedhead. So who is he to talk. ]

Though I've seen you in a worse state in the weeds of your work.

[midifications]

Clive, you don't want to even know how long it takes to get all the knots out. It's terrible. I'll trade you some time, you can see for yourself, eh?

I'm sure you'll see me like that again too, going absolutely insane on how to make something work right. Too bad I didn't have any epiphanies while I slept! Would have made things much easier.

[gruffier]

I'm sure I could make some time for that.

[ He can always help you brush your hair, Mid!! ]

It could have been a sign. Maybe it was the star forcing you into respite. You are always working so hard.

[midifications]

It'd give you a workout, though I don't think you'd need it. But I'd appreciate it all the same. But maybe it was a sign, yeah. I've been working hard lately.

You don't have any other things for me to work on, do you?

[gruffier]

Everyone needs rest, including the Great Engineer Midadol Telamon.

Noting that requires your immediate expertise... unless.

How familiar are you with the usage of the shellphone?

[midifications]

Great Engineer, huh? Didn't think you thought so highly of me, Clive.

[But she's definitely fine with it! Gives her reason to puff out her chest. She's using that later for sure when she needs to get away with something.]

Familiar enough. Haven't tried to take it apart yet, but it's been on my list of things to do when I'm bored. Why?
