He's so smart and has such great ideas.

Well it was her idea originally so she deserves some of the credit.

She is also very smart and has great ideas!

They can continue to have very good ideas together for the new few days.

And eventually - touching her is still great but it is no longer sublime -

"- I'm uh, awake," she reports, suddenly looking exhausted instead of chipper and appeasing.

"Oh that's good, I guess?"

"Yeah. I want like... at least an hour of notebooking... possibly more. I can be touching you during if you want but you can't look and I won't wanna talk, I am in hock to my introversion up to my eyeballs."

"I can read on my ereader for a bit."

"Thanks." They can sit back to back. She writes, in one of Lorica's blank notebooks, the kind she brought to school when she couldn't notetake via Rete. Cries a little bit a couple times.

Yeah Lucien really sorry for whatever it is he did that is making her cry but not enough to interrupt her which would probably just make it worse.

Eventually she stops writing and wants to read in silence for a while.

Then she wants to do powers testing as long as he's got lots of backlash to eat hers anyway. She can turn invisible, so that's cool.

"You still here?" He can still feel the guiding, otherwise he'd be panicking. 

"I'm still here. I can see myself, but I guess you can't see me?"

"No - I can feel the guiding though."

"Is it okay with you if I check if I can make that go away too?"

"That would be okay for a little bit, I guess."

"Testing."

"I can hear that."

"Yes, but can you also feel guiding, I wasn't trying to be inaudible." That time. She tries being inaudible: "Boo!"

"I can be inaudible though! - yes or no on the guiding."

"I still felt guiding."

She futzes around with her new powers a bit more. Discovers she can fly. Puts on all her clothes to go for a spin around the boat and then comes back inside to snuggle him.

"You needed some time away from me?"

"I wanted to fly. I could probably carry you but I wasn't sure and don't want to try it over the water. But I do also need alone time occasionally."
