What kind of things do you build? Other than the obstacle and motorcycle course things.

Me and Dva did a cat playground. And I helped Mori make a bed, once. I been working on a little version of the area around the hotel, too, and trying to do this one model I had in my memories.

Oh—kind of like an art project? I'd like to see it some time.

Which one?

The one you're most proud of.

...I mean. Neither of them are really great.

I'm just messing around.

That doesn't mean it will be bad.

...

...kay. It's not finished, though.

A work in progress will be even more interesting.

[Hesitates, then turns for the shelving along the far wall. He hooks his hand into the cabinet and pulls himself up, absently, to balance on the counter - grabs something down off the top shelf and then hops down again.]

[He brings it back over and holds it out, kind of cautious.]

[It's definitely not finished. It's also a pretty passable replica of what looks like a 1/6 scale figure of a power suit-style mech. It's sleek and slim, though the shoulders have a little bulk to them. It's made of what looks like twenty or thirty individual pieces already, each smoothed and sanded and glued into place. Only the head, torso, and right arm have been completed, and it's all plain wood, unpainted.]

...like I said. Still, uh. Still working on it.

Whoa...

[ Reaching out to touch it delicately, hesitant with how intricate it looks. ]

You aren't carving it all in one piece?

[It seems pretty sturdy? Whatever glue he used must have been pretty heavy duty. Up closer, though, Talon can see the little imperfections - too much of an indent there, sanded the wrong direction on that piece, glue leaked around the edges there.]

Nah. I remembered putting it together as a model, in a bunch of pieces. Figured, I could get the model and redo it here?

Or I could try and make em all, see if I could level up in woodworking.
