Well, sure, you can. I wouldn't know how to do that with parts of instruments, but if there's anything you can actually put to use, it won't hurt to grab it.
I could always teach you. [ idly said, like he's not thinking about it. ] Or if the damage isn't too bad I can work on something tonight and turn it around tomorrow.
I'm good. If there's anything worth salvaging, you could put it to better use than me, don't you think? I'd be interested in seeing what else you could put together.
Fair enough. I've accumulated enough tools already that it can't be too bad. [ he flexes his fingers a little. ] Plus my hands are a little more healed up. May as well give them something new to do.
I asked the senior crew really early on for a toolkit. And then Anise got that set from Scrap a few weeks ago and gave it to me. And I picked up some stuff from Volk and a few of the other markets. [ sometimes you simply collect.
but...hm. he looks at his hands. ]
...maybe a little? A lot of it was taken care of by the pods, but the burns were the worst. I mean besides... [ he gestures vaguely to his false eye and the cut that had dragged across his face and down his chest. ] While burns are healing the skin tends to be pretty stiff and that's been kind of a pain.
Huh. You've been collecting it all for a while, then. Does any of it really have the kind of tools you need for robotics, though? Like - Scrap's stuff looked pretty basic.
[ now he's like wow maybe i should've asked about more music stuff but no it's fine he had what he needed.
hums thoughtfully. he can't really heal the eye back into place, but... ] I can help if you want to try magic instead of the pods.
I knew if we were gonna be here for a while I'd want to keep myself busy. [ he shrugs. ] It's not as big as my own kit at home but I've been able to do a lot of maintenance work and minor upgrades with Roboji. Sometimes all you need is a screwdriver.
[ he doesn't expect magic eye-healing at all, but he considers the rest. ]
...could be worth the little extra practice for you, too, right? I should try to be in the best condition possible before we leave tomorrow anyway.
Fair enough. I just figured there'd be a lot of repeats in the kits we could get... They all looked pretty basic.
[ but what does he know! if it works, it works.
but yea he nods. ] Mmhm. It's not much, so you should probably still try the pods before you leave, but magic could help speed up the process a little.
You're not wrong, but I like having back-ups. Not to mention different sizes and everything. [ but it works! ]
At this rate I'm all about speeding it up. I won't say no to that if it means cutting the pod time down even a little bit. Besides, when are we ever going to get to see or use magic again after this?

...Do you need any more help with that? [ the healing. ] Small things won't hurt while you're still getting used to using it like normal.
