Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"Stranger things have happened in this existence." Leo shrugged.

"But yeah, I really think I'm going to try and help her." he said.

"See if I can't set her up with some better tech options, to start." he chuckled.

"Maaaaaybe send her some experimental products to test and then say she can keep them." he went on.

"Whatever can make her life a little easier."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Kiah just laughed lightly.

"No worries. I getcha." She assured him.

"And I'm reasonabley certain that she'll appreciate anything you decide to do, or anything you can do." She added.

"I don't really know her, but I do know that she seems to be an absolute weetheart."

"I barely talked to her for 10 minutes and I feel the same way." Leo responded.

"There's just something about her that's... instantly likeable." he said.

"Maybe it's her perseverance through her hardships. Maybe it's her upbeat attitude." he went on. "Maybe something else entirely, but probably a combination of it all." he chuckled.

"Whatever the reason, yeah, I like her." he told Kiah.

"Glad she game me her contact info." he said further.

"...because I am NOT the sort of Order member to invade dreams to speak with someone I just met." he mumbled. "Even if I were in charge of her dreams, which I am not. Same with Ty. Hence my not knowing about her." he reasoned with another laugh.

"Sounds about right." Kiah commented with a laugh.

"How IS the Order life for you, anyway?" She then asked, her voice curious.

"Last I heard, you were getting a bit stressed mixing tech into the organisation on that realm."

Leo looked at her, almost stunned for a moment, before he smirked. And giggled. But it then turned into a hearty laugh, which lasted for a few seconds, before he forced himself to calm down.

"I suppose we really don't talk much, do we?" he asked rhetorically.

"I haven't been stressed about that for a few years now." he told her. "The systems have been fully integrated, and things are running more smoothly than they ever had in the past." he revealed.

"Perhaps we should stay in touch more often." he said further, with another small chuckle.

"Sorry, I can get bad about updating friends about such things." he apologised. "...well, friends that KNOW about the Order, anyway." he clarified.

"We chat decently, just updates don't come often." Kiah commented with a chuckle.

"I blame the timezones." She added. "Sinc we don't really... I dunno, it's usually a case of I'm busy or heading to bed when you message, and the same the other way."

"No harm done, really. Also, I'm glad you got all that sorted out. I figured you would, but definitely good to hear confirmation."

"Heh." Leo chuckled.

"It really IS a lot better than before." he said. "We're more efficient, more organised, and the big boss is SUPER pleased with what we've been doing." he told her, figuring she'd know who he meant.

And even if it skipped over her... no biggie. Either person it could refer to was good.

"Also doesn't help that I... well... time for me is kinda... blurred at times." he then admitted.

"There's a reason Nakia's had to forcibly pull me away from a project a few times... after... 24+ hours of straight working on it..."

Kiah just laughed.

"You are SO bad for that." She commented after a moment or two.

A few months later, Lunet was silent for a moment as she just leaned forward. Yet again, she was in the cafeteria, and again, it was tech related.

"Dammit. They aren't..." She sighed, heavily as she just pushed the laptop away from her and laid her head on her arms, obviously annoyed, frustrated, and probably pissed.

The contract she'd just listened to was.... not very nice to her, really. Sure, she wasn't super good with that kind of thing, but she realised that they were just trying to wrest control of her project from her. And she really didn't like that. It honestly felt like no one wanted to take her seriously. She was only thirteen, and blind... and it wasn't playing well for her.

A couple of minutes after she'd muttered to herself, her cell chimed with a personalised message for texts.

"Incoming message from Leo." it said.

She pressed the button to have it read off to her.

"Hey Lunet, I have some tech I would like you to try out. When can you meet up to try it out?" it read off.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Lunet was silent for a moment before sighing, heavily, and just calling Leo.

"Hey." she greeted when he'd answered.

"Calls are easier, sorry if this is a hassle." She added after a second or two.

"Anyway, to answer your question, a distraction would be lovely at any time."

"Calls aren't a hassle." Leo assured her. "I just sent a text so it would be convenient for you to reply whenever you could." he explained.

"And oh?" he then asked.

"Something wrong?" he asked her.

"Generally speaking, that phrasing generally means that something isn't exactly peachy at the moment." he reasoned.

"Everything ok?"

Lunet didn't say anythin gbefore sighing, heavily.

"Just a contract." She told him honestly.

"That's all. Anyway, I'm in the cafeteria at the Unit again. Otherwise I'll be at home in a few hours." She continued.

"Whichever works best for you."

"Hmmm." Leo mumbled.

"Well, at your home works best, probably." he said.

"But if you need a distraction right now, I can show up there and we can kill time." he continued.

"...though the tech I have will probably take several hours to properly go through and explain." he then realised.

"You can ask your Dad if it's all right for me to take you home, and I'll stay with you until he gets home." he suggested.

"Obviously, only if you two are okay with that."

Lunet was silent for a moment.

"Yeah, I'll ask." She then said.

"I'll call you back." Followed after a second. When he agreed, they ended the call and she died Ty's number.

"Hey Dad. Can I just go home?" She asked.

"Leo's gonna be there with me. Said he has stuff he wants me to test for him."

Ty was silent for a moment.

"Oh, Leo? Yeah, sure." he said.

"Yeah, that's fine." he told her.

"Just tell the daycare people that you'll be doing that." he said further. "I know you generally don't hang out in that area any longer, and mostly just stay out of the way and talk with Liv and such, but they are still responsible for knowing your whereabouts." he reasoned.

"I'll tell Hal about this, too." he assured her.

"So yeah, just tell them and I'll make sure when they call me or Hal to confirm, we'll give it." he said.

"Yeah, will do." Lunet agreed as she started to pack her things up.

"And yeah, I usually hang out in the cafeteria instead, mostly so I'm out of the way, but I'm in the building still." She added.

"Anyway, thank you." she said before they said their farewells and ended the call. She called Leo back right away.

"Do you want to meet me at home, or here?" She asked. "If here, you can give me a lift home."

"I was going to meet you there specifically to give you a lift home." Leo chuckled.

"Easier and swifter that way." he reasoned.

"But just lemme know when to meet you and where." he told her further.

"I'll be there promptly and on time, as I always am." he declared in a faux-proud tone.

"...but yeah, figured I'd use my mana to get you home. Just easier that way."

"It really is." Lunet agreed with a nod.

"anyway, front entrance in like... 10." She added. "I gotta let people know I'm leaving and all."

"So, I'll see you soon." With that, they ended the call, she made sure she had everything, and headed off. She managed to reach the front entrance after aboiut seven minutes.

"Hey Jake." She greeted as she stepped into the area

Jake looked over towards her.

"Yo." he replied.

"Sup?" he asked, setting his paper down and leaning forward on his desk slightly.

"Figured you'd be comin' out with your Dad like usual." he then commented.

"Somethin' goin' on?" he asked her.

"Anything I can help with?" he asked further.

Lunet didn't say anything for a moment before she managed to make her way to somewhere to sit.

"Nah. Leo's on his way to grab me." she told him honestly.

"So I'm heading home now. Dad'll be at some point later." she added. "Because Leo wants me to test a couple pieces of tech or something."
