"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?

"That I do."

Fwoosh!

Fwoosh!

Once they're inside, Nick attempts to divine whether the kissing will continue, by looking at Eva with obvious desire.

Hmm. You know, this is a really difficult decision.

... The answer is definitely a yes. Watch the kissing continue.

He goes back to the approximate intensity they were at before fairly quickly, appreciative noises and all, and places one hand at the small of her back.

Eva returns her hand to the back of his head, because it got such a positive response last time, and then lets him know what she thinks of the situation.

It's 'yes'.

She may be able to tell that the positive response last time was more from the 'increased intensity', than her hand being in that particular spot. Not that it doesn't help.

He mutters compliments into her lips here and there. But mostly kisses.

Mm. Eva is very fond of compliments. She'll mention some back, too.

How does Nick feel about wandering hands?

Well, that sort of depends on where they're wandering to. But generally his feelings are: Yes. Notably, his wings can feel touch and are not all that delicate.

His hands start wandering a bit, too. Mostly around her back. For now.

They were wandering under his shirt. She'll probably get to his wings eventually, but she's currently treating them like they might be fragile, not having been told otherwise.

Well, he enjoys that, too. His hands will start to wander a little more, if she's being that bold. For example, onto her butt.

...There may be some nonverbal signs of enjoyment developing.

Oh really? How interesting.

She approves.

Kisses on just the mouth is a bit limited. He tries Eva's jaw, neck, collarbone...

Some of those spots get a lot of approval. Her hands will keep wandering, and she might make a few noises in response.

This might go on for a while.

It really, really could.

In keeping with the 'building slowly' theme, he doesn't really escalate more than trying to prompt a few more of those cute noises. Unless she does, of course.

Hmm... not yet, she won't. She does enjoy making those noises, though.

But eventually, "Fun as this is, we still have things to do."

"We do," she responds. "Aaand we should probably get to doing them. Improving the world and all."
