And if he floats a bit to be in a slightly less awkward position for kissing that can only improve things, right?

Right! Less awkward kissing: so much better than more awkward kissing.

He's learning fast. And if one hand wraps around her back and starts stroking her hair?

That is... okay!

Still: kissing.

Yep, kissing. He doesn't push further than the hair thing.

After a while, though, "We should probably talk about what each of us wants, here."

"We probably should. ... Um, I'm not really looking for anything, uh... seriously serious."

"More or less the same. I like you, I like kissing you, I'd certainly enjoy anything more than kissing, but we're going to build great things literally and not metaphorically. I do not predict I will develop a strong desire to declare you my girlfriend or ask you to avoid romance with others unless you particularly want that."

"I do not currently want that, no. I'm glad we agree."

Now, since that's over with... the kisses can resume.

Kisses! Kisses are fun, yes. He makes little appreciative noises.

Oh, that's nice! Kisses are indeed fun.

Are kisses improved by Nick bringing one hand up to cup her cheek?

Mmmarginally. How about if she puts her hand on the back of his head, and... increases the intensity?

Yes.

This is a good spot. He likes this spot, he could stay here for a little while.

Oh, she's so glad he's enjoying himself, because it's makes her enjoy it more too. She can stay here a while, too, but if it gets to be too long, she'll probably break off the kiss.

Of course, what she defines as 'too long' is flexible, and it's not like they have anything pressing to attend to, so it might be a while before that occurs.

'A while' turns out to be 'until one of the machines in the corner beeps loudly', a few minutes. "...I should probably get to work with all this new material."

Well, that's unfortunate, but she can cope. "You probably should."

"There will be more kisses later, worry not."

"Don't worry, I was planning on it."

So she gets out a book to read, occasionally looking up to watch Nick doing things.

Nick is in a construction frenzy! He moves things around seemingly at random, his bots bolt and weld and cut as various shapes start to take place. He seems to be controlling them via a combination of tapping on his tablet and verbal commands. The smell of ozone and a hint of ash, like lightning and thunderstorms, is in the air.

Well, all this productivity is infectious, and Eva decides that no, she should probably not be reading a book. She gets out her laptop and looks up how to make a website.

... And yes, of course she knows she doesn't have WiFi here; she's using data through her cell phone.

...Actually, after about an hour, there is WiFi here. Faking it by connecting a thing that piggybacks Eva's house's WiFi here was one of the first things Nick did. Because having access to wikipedia is important.

A large generator-looking thing is almost complete. Nick starts turning it. "I think I'm about done for now. I've queued up parts for the fabricators and the first batch of plastic is cooking. Just need to charge the batteries some so we don't use too much grid electricity before we go."

Oh, well, in that case she won't be using her cell data. At least, not after the hour.

"Okay, cool! I can pack up whenever, so just let me know when you're ready."

"Ten minutes or so, I think."

"Okay!"

There seems to be, overall, positive feedback to the Internet Person's blog and video. Some people are rooting for some major companies to invest, and others are just exclaiming how cool it would be to have the technology around. Then there are the few who call it all a hoax, or something ridiculous that will 'never get off the ground'.

A few people have contacted her about it, actually. Turns out there are a few more potential investors. She tells Nick as such.

"Ah, that's good news. You're the one who has to figure out contracts and patents and so on, though, for which I am grateful."

And it's time to go. Fwoosh back to Eva's house?
