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

Leo was distracted for a moment, before snapping back to reality.

"Huh? Oh, yeah." he chuckled.

"Yep, she makes smoothies so good, they... can't he legal." he said.

"And... yeah, I think it is." he commented, before seeing Lunet seemed to be having some issues with one of the USB ports.

"Maybe I'll go and check it out. Seems like there might be a problem with it." he told her.

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

Kiah just laughed.

"Reasonably certain that yeah, no. They aren't legal. She's a cat for crying out loud." She commented.

"If that place was raided, I'm sure she'd be classified as a health hazard." She added with a shake of her head.

"And yeah. You go do that. I'll get a smoothie for ya. I'll drop it off on my way back down to my office."

"We need to make sure to confiscate her supplies before the raiders get to her smoothie bar." Leo told her.

"Serious. We need to liberate her and her smoothies." he said further... before they both just cracked up for a second.

"All right, see you in a few." he finished, as they peeled away from each other and he made his way to Lunet.

"S'cuse me." he said when he was close enough.

"Noticed that you seem to be having issues with a USB port." he commented.

"I'm a bit of a tech expert, mind if I see if I can't do something about it?" he asked.

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

The one he was addressing didn't seem to notice him at all, didn't hear a damned word he'd said. He tapped her on her arm, hih did net a reaction.

"What's up?" She asked, not looking toward him as she took the headset off, leaving it around her neck.

"Am I in the way or something?"

Forgive, O Lord,

"Not at all." Leo responded.

"I just noticed that you seem to be having issues with a USB port." he said again. "I know a thing or two about tech, mind if I check it out?" he asked.

"See if I can't fix it?" he offered.

"Sometimes it's a simple thing that one just needs to recognise." he went on.

"I know it's frustrating to have a dying port."

great big one on me.

She was silent for a moment before motioning for him to have at it as she pushed the laptop away from her, knocking her glass in the process. She was smart though, her drink, while in a glass travel mug, was sealed.

"Have at it." She said simply.

"Because yeah, frustrating is one way to put it. I"m good with softward, hardware trips me up."

Leo righted the glass, and looked at the port, eyeing it closely and putting a small flashlight up to it, before sighing.

"A simple, but fiddly, fix." he said.

"I can do it for you, if you like." he offered.

"Swore I used better components than this, though..." he then muttered.

"Might need to take a look at some of the other units out there as well..."

Lunet just waved her hand slightly.

"Have at it." She said simply.

"Admittedly, I miht have been the one that killed it, since this phone is dead." She added.

"Sorry." She added as she sat back a bit, letting him at her tech with no issues, even though she couldn't have known who he was.

"Nah, it's fine." Leo responded.

He then sat down beside her and summoned his tools to his hand, before starting to work on the port. As he did so, he looked at the screen and saw a folder labeled 'AoD'. But it wasn't the file type he expected.

"Hey..." he mumbled.

"Sorry, but I see a folder labeled 'AoD'." he commented.

"It's distracting me. I immediately think 'Age of Divinity' when I see that, but that looks like it'd be an asset folder or something." he chuckled.

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

"That would be because it is." Lunet answered.

"Go ahead, look through." She added.

"It's some updates I'm working on." She continued, "If I want it signed to a proper dev studio, then I gotta upgrade them."

Leo was stunned as he heard that, before opening the folder and looking through.

"....oh, holy crap..." he muttered.

"Wait..." he said.

"Wait, YOU'RE the dev behind 'Age of Divinity'?" he asked her.

"It's... heh." he chuckled.

"It's an honour to meet you." he told her.

"LOVE the game."

"Yeah. Yeah that's me." She answered with a nod.

"Name's Lunet." She added.

"And aoD is a bit of a passion project." She continued before sighing. "However, no one wants to take me seriously, or believe that it's my work."

"Nice to meet you, Lunet." he replied.

"I've seen alpha builds about on message boards. People love it." he told her.

"I admit, I've been sucked into it a number of times." he continued.

"Ah, but I get ahead of myself." he then said.

"Name's Leonard." he introduced himself.

"Most call me Leo, though."

"I know who you are." Lunet commented.

"Leonard Fenretti, owner, operator and creator of Tech-Retti." She added with a shrug.

"I know your voice a mile away."

"Heh, fair enough." Leo responded sheepishly.

"Then you know I'll be able to get this thing fixed." he said.

"How's it been treating you?" he asked.

"Anything you like about it in specific, or anything you wish was better?" he asked further.

"So I know for future makes and models."

"Best I've found so far." Lunet answered honestly.

"Been using it for like... what, three? four? years by this point." She added. "To be honest, I'm probably due for an update or upgrade."

"If I were to be nitpicky, I'd have to say that the braille bumps are too easy to chip off." She then told him. "Beyond that, it works likea dream."

"Ah, yeah, probably due for an update, at least." Leo agreed.

"And the bumps are too easy to chip off, huh?" he then asked, looking at the keyboard and running his fingers over it. "I see, I see..." he said, making a note of this conversation.

"Thanks for the input." he told her, working on the port some more.

"Aaaaand that should do it." he said, sliding it back over.

"Try it out and see if it works."

Lunet did just that. She felt around a bit, but didn't fumble, before sliding her pohone into the port. When she heard the connection audio, she just chuckled.

"Yes, that definitely did it." She commented.

"Thank you, so much."

"No worries." Leo responded.

"Glad I could help." he told her.

He then paused for a moment, looking her over, and then looking at the laptop.

"Might I ask a potentially personal question?" he asked.

"By all means." Lunet replied.

"If it's not too sensitive, how did you lose your eyesight?" he asked.

"I didn't." Lunet answered honestly before pausing.

"You're... sitting to the left, right?" She asked. Leo nodded, eve3n though she couldn't see.

"I am." He answered. She turned to face him, rotating in the chair completely to be facing him.

"I didn't lose my sight." She told him as she reached up and took the shades off.

"Can't lose what you never had."
