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

Leo paused for a moment, before nodding.

"Yeah, you're right." he said. "And... yeah, you ARE!" he realised. "I'll let you know when I have a prototype ready to be tested." he told her further, before pausing.

"I also have the idea for another specialised tablet, but you wouldn't be able to help with that." he then said further. "It'll be for those that are VISUALLY impaired." he continued. "I want... well, I want to convey braille digitally." he told her.

"And I know that sounds weird and crazy." he said. "But hear me out. A tablet that can be put into a 'reading mode' of sorts, and the touch screen then can transmit tiny electrical impulses to the finger that match with the letters on the screen." he continued.

"And they don't need to use a text to speech thing." he went on.

"THAT, however, is going to take a while." he said.

"Like, I need to start the research for that first." he chuckled.

"See if it's even feasible."

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

With Mana, it probably is. Desiree commented.

However, that would be a tablet just for those in that world, or at least know of it. She added before pausing a moment.

.... I know of someone who is blind, actually. She then said. Through Doctor Rene Calder. Apparently he's a friend.

Leo raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?" he asked.

"Well, fair enough then." he said.

"If they would be willing to test a beta or two, that would be a very big help." he told her, before pausing.

"But I don't even want to even attempt it until I do research on it." he insisted. "I want to see if, even with mana, such a thing is possible." he stressed to her further.

"So I don't want ANYONE else knowing about this until much later."

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

Desiree nodded.

I'll just ask if he'd be willing to help out with a potential new thing for the blind in the future. She signed.

Because if he's not cool with helping, then you might have to hold off if you can't find anyone else. she added.

"Makes sense." Leo replied.

"Anyway, let's eat!" he then said.

And so they did. They devoured a good part of the food, with still plenty left over for Desiree. Leo was happy to see that, and sat down on the couch she had.

"That was satisfying." he commented.

"So what are your plans now?" he asked.

"Or are you just winging it?"

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

Winging it for the moment. Desiree answered.

Considering enrolling into university if I can get the money for tuition. She added after a moment.

Since it would give me something to do with my days.

"I fully support that idea." Leo told her.

"And if you can get money for tuition, huh?" he then asked, before crossing his arms and thinking about it.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"I wonder..." he said further, drifting off a bit.

"I might know of a few businesses willing to give you a scholarship, depending on what you're going to college for." he told her.

"Just need to apply if your area of study is within their bursaries."

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

Desiree looked to Leo quizzically.

... ok. You caught my attention She signed with a chuckle.

What kind of area of study would be of potetial interest? I'm not sure if what I'm considering is even going to be viable for that, since it seems it's one that rarely, if ever, gets scholarships or whatever.

Leo shrugged.

"I know of a few kinds." he told her.

"Like, I know one that goes for the sciences, one that's purely physical-based, one that specifically looks at people going into physics." he listed off.

"And I know of a couple that give out scholarships for more... er... hm, how do I put this...?" he then wondered. "They tend to favour those that study the mind." he told her.

"But not the BRAIN, if that makes sense." he added.

"Psychology and other such things."

...and I'll forgive thy

... What about philosophy? Desiree asked.

Doesn't... really fit into what you've said, I don't think? She added after a moment or two, her expression curious.

Bceause if I DO go to University, I think that's what I want to go for. It's always been an interest of mine. Granted, I also don't know if I can even get in, due to my grades

Leo thought for a moment.

"I think I know of a place that would grant a scholarship for philosophy." he told her.

"I'll need to double-check." he said.

"As for your grades, if you don't think they're up to snuff, why not take an adult education course?" he asked her.

"Hell, I'll sponsor you if you do end up needing to." he offered.

"And no, it's not me just giving charity, this is me genuinely trying to help you smoothly get your life moving forward." he then stressed.

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

Maybe. I'll have to look around Desiree responded before sighing.

See what there is, that I won't be singled out and wahtnot. She added, some fear in her hand movements. She was wary of her brother finding her, or her mother, but she knew she could not hide forever. That's no life to live.

Anyway, how's your business going? I know you said you were planning to start up a company a b it ago.

Leo sighed.

"Firstly, online classes are an option. Just remember that." he told her. "And that's all I'll say in regards to THAT subject, right now." he assured her further.

"Secondly, I do still want to start of that tech company." he then said.

"I have ideas, I have prototypes, I think I have the capabilities to potentially shake up the industry, or at least carve my own niche into it, but... uh, well... running a business is... a lot of work..." he mumbled.

"I'm doing a lot of research into running one. Nakia's told me that this has real potential to become one of the Fortune 500, and I need to prepare for that level of success." he went on.

"So... yeah, the dream is still alive, but I need to have a sturdy launching pad for said dream."

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

Desiree nodded.

Completely fair. I'll promote ya any and every chance I get to do so. She signed with a chuckle.

And you know I will. She added.

"That's really nice of you." Leo replied.

"I'll let you know when I start making real strides towards it." he told her.

"For now, I need to concentrate on having a set of product lines, even if just 2 or 3, and REALLY know how the business side of things for this goes." he went in, sighing quietly.

"Nakia doesn't want me to be the sort of person that's just the tech guy, and gets swindled and robbed by some fast-talking businessman that wants to usurp control of the company from me." he explained.

"...granted, with Nakia around, there'd be REAL dire consequences for anyone that did so, but she'd rather I be able to head it off at the pass and nip it in the bud in case someone DOES try it." he added.

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

Desiree nodded.

That makes sense. She commented.

Nakia would... uhh... well, I'd pity the poor soul that would try that. She added after a few seconds.

I wish I could actually help, though

"It's okay." Leo responded.

"Nakia doesn't want it to get to that point. I don't want her to have to be the one to do the bad things and such." he muttered.

"Regardless, yeah, that's what's going on with MY life right now." he summarised.

"Let me know how seeking out education goes for you." he went on.

"Lemme know if you want to get your grades up and such, and then we'll talk about that potential scholarship." he told her further.

"But beyond that, hope you get a net connection here soon." he chuckled.

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

Amber Lynne

Yeah, that makes sense. Desiree signed. I would hate to see her going that way too.

As for net, I'm not sure when I will. I suppose after things settle down and I have a part time job or something again. she added.

Gonna need to pay for it and all. I don't do enough parties to really live off of, not yet.

"Ah, right." Leo said.

"Well, at least you should have enough in your bank to keep you going for a bit." he told her.

"But I hope you find something soon." he continued.

"Or that your shows take off." he then added.

"Seriously, you are super talented at that." he complimented her.

"You have a knack for entertaining kids."

Kids are pure souls. was all Desiree said, not touching on anything else. She had a bit in her account, yes, but she didn't know how long she could actually maintain things with what she had. So she was actively going to be looking for a part time job on the side. Had to, after all.

Anyway, How long do you think you want to hang out? she asked, her expression curious.

I know with the time zone, it's pretty late for ya
