"I should be able to? I mean, I could always do a different color or something."

Saying that, she goes and fetches a few more marker colors, and starts focusing on dismissing him when he's done.

Nick disappears, and he's able to bring all the remaining food in only one trip.

Well. In that case, she will probably just leave it until the morning to re-summon him? Luckily she did the circle in the corner of the garage, so she can just cover it with a conveniently-placed folded tarp to prevent anyone getting curious about it.

Assuming nothing dramatic happens, she'll be awake for a couple more hours, she'll text a few of her friends to say sorry about flaking on the party, and she'll then go to sleep. In the morning, she has breakfast, speaks to her mom a bit, and then sneaks into the garage to remove the tarp and draw back over it in another color. Most of the circle, then the script around the edge, then complete the circle.

She hopes he's not asleep. If he doesn't respond, she'll try again in another couple of hours.

He appears straight away. With another crate. "Good morning! I have proper tools, now. Metalwork reactors, 3D printers, chem kits, et cetera."

"Ooh! I have no idea where to set them up. We could possibly do it in here, and I guess I should tell my mom about this eventually..."

"I have no advice regarding parents... The tools are not that big, but they've got a hefty power draw. If you were a university student we could try and borrow a lab space."

"Unfortunately I'm not. Will they run on regular mains electricity? Because we could try running them here, and meanwhile I look into warehouses that might have the sort of facilities required for larger-scale production?"

"Oh, no, I'll have to spin the fairy generator I brought along until I can rig a transformer. I think... A nice warehouse space would be good, then contacts for raw materials or industry once I have some prototypes, that kind of thing. This is going to play like a startup business, I think."

"Oh right. Well, we – you, whatever – should still have an extremely decent head-start, what with the magic powers and the future knowledge, which is, again, extremely nice. Feel free to put them here – I'll go make my mom think I've gone psycho, then convince her I haven't, then go research warehouse spaces."

She's grinning madly. It's kinda adorable how thrilled she seems by this all.

It is pretty exciting, he's going to get to bring modern science to historical times. He starts humming a cheerful tune as he arranges things.

So, off Eva goes to tell her mom about telekinetic fairies.

... It goes surprisingly well! Her mom asks if she's feeling okay – "Yes, I'm fine," – and then checks that nothing terrible's going on at school – "No, mom, I told you I'm fine," – and then lets Eva speak. Eva manages to basically totally convince her that she is not hallucinating, she is not making things up, and that she is super thrilled because "C'mon, it's so obvious how ridiculously unfair this all is."

Eva goes into the garage again and asks, "Is it okay if my mom sees you? I mean, I told her about you, and she's now pretty sure I'm not crazy, but it would be nice for her to have confirmation...?"

"Fine by me. Though again, I don't know from parents."

"It's okay, she's cool," says Eva, and that's not totally just because her mom's right there. She opens the door further, points at Nick, and expects that the wings are probably sufficient to show that she's not totally crazy.

Eva's mom is surprisingly okay with seeing a random guy with wings in their garage, especially since her daughter is typically very trustworthy. "Do you want some coffee? Or maybe some tea?"

"I'd prefer tea, please and thank you." Stuff is pretty much set up now. He starts spinning the generator. It's surprisingly quiet. "I'm wondering what to make first. Is bio-fuel a thing yet?"

Off Eva's mom goes to make some tea. How nice.

"Biofuel? Like bioethanol grown using sugar crops, or like burning plant waste? ... I think that's probably a yes? Bioethanol isn't widespread, though, if I recall correctly."

"Oh, ethanol biofuel, I can make that outdated in a week. Same principle as the batteries, just bigger. Might need some strange materials, or to visit a junkyard for material."

"My knowledge might not be totally up to date, but yeah, I think Brazil is like the only place that uses it, and not in that much quantity. Strange materials can probably be bought, depending on how expensive they are – we're kinda well-off, but not ridiculously."

"We could try summoning the medium-dangerous kind of daeva if material costs become prohibitive. It's safe enough if you're careful with the bindings. But it shouldn't be a problem at first. I need steel, aluminum, and then a few catalytic converters from a junkyard or something and that's it for the fuel thing."

"Was that the one that changes things? Because really, that kinda sounds more frightening than the one that can make things."

"Yes, but they're known to be friendlier overall, and they can be paid with electronics. I'm just saying it's an option, I'm not about to ask you to try it."

Eva studies him when he mentions the payment, and decides not to ask. "Oh okay. I mean, if I'm writing the binding in English, I could try looking for ways through it to tighten things up, but presumably there aren't many – or any – if it's tried and tested. And if they're friendly... it's probably fine? We can go look through a scrapyard later, if you want. It doesn't even need to be particularly nearby if you're doing the transport."

"There's groundwork to do first, anyway. But I'm wondering, are you interested in learning the tools and science, or just helping me spread the knowledge and making lots of money and useful contacts in the process?"

"I am somewhat curious about the tools and science, but I might be more help in the contacts department. I like to think I'm good with people."

"I've been told I'm a good example of the introverted nerd stereotype. A people person and a tech person is a good dynamic, anyway."

"Yeah, definitely."

She doesn't have much more to add. Is he doing anything interesting, or should she go look up potential warehousing and scrapyards?
