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

"Lemon pops. Got it." Leo replied.

"And pfft? Limit?" he asked.

"Bah!" he exclaimed.

"Go nuts." he told her. "Seriously, price is not a factor here." he assured her further.

"Get whatever drink you want, whatever cost it comes to."

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

Lunet just smirked before listing a drink that was customised enough to make it a $10 drink.

"I know it's not exorbitantly expensive, but even still. Not super cheap." She added after all was said and paid for.

"Dad, Ty - I still bounce between them - tends to not like when I order it. Because it's 'too pricey' for just a cup of coffee."

Leo laughed again when she said that.

"Well, he's got his ways of thinking." he said.

"He was alive when you'd go to a corner diner, order a coffee, get a mug of blackness, do what you want with it, pay 75 cents." he went on. "He really hasn't adapted to coffee being an expensive integrated part of society." he went on.

"Which... hey, if THAT'S the worst hell he wants to die on, I'll take it." he admitted.

"But still. I've gotten expensive coffee drinks before. They're some of life's little pleasures."

"Pretty much my thoughts." Lunet commented.

"I've asked how old he is... he won't answer me." She added.

"So I'll have to take your word for it about the 75 cents point"

"Oh, he's old." Leo replied.

"He just doesn't look it." he chuckled.

"Suffice to say, I'm not joking about that." he then told her.

"Anyway, once we get the drinks and sweets, we'll head on home." he said further.

"Got a few things for you to test out and give opinions on."

"You've got me curious." Lunet admitted after a few seconds.

"Don't you have someone who is blind to act as a test subject in your company? Like, part of the QA team?" She asked, her voice curious.

"Because there's bound to be better than me. I'm still a child, really.'

"I do." Leo responded.

"However, oftentimes, I wonder if they let some things slide because they don't want to hold up production." he admitted.

"I tell them multiple times that it's okay to take their time, but I really think they might feel pressured to just say it's okay, when things could be improved. I can't prove it though." he said further.

"That, and an outside opinion is always good." he reasoned.

"Gives a fresh perspective."

"... Can't argue that." Lunet commented as someone approached them, their order in hand. Lunet was there often enought aht they knew she was blind, and most definitely made it a point to bring her order out to her, even when she has someone else there.

"Thanks." Lunet said with a smile.

"Anytime." was their response as they set the order down on the table they were standing near, before heading off.

Leo just smiled.

"Anything else?" he asked.

"We got what we came for, want to do or get anything else before we go?" he asked her.

"Otherwise we'll head out and find a place to, uh... arrange transportation." he said further.

He then looked around, looking out one of the side doors, and nodded, seeing an alley closeby.

"And I see a place where we can."

...and I'll forgive thy

"Lead the way then." Lunet commented.

"You've certainly got better navigational equipment than I do. I'm due for an upgrade, eventually. Assuming the parts are ever found." She then said with a chuckle.

"Oh yeah. I have an early access demo of an expansion/patch I'm working on for my Ages, if you want to check it while we're there."

Leo perked up when he heard that.

"An early access demo, you say?" he asked.

"Niiiice." he said.

"You really know where to hunt." he chuckled, as the two left the cafe. As they walked towards they alley, he laughed a little.

"Excellent code wording." he whispered.

"I mean it. Impressive."

"Not like people would believe me if I told them that I was the one behind it anyway." Lunet commented with a shrug.

"But yeah. Early access. It's incomplete, but it's a patch I've been working to do." She continued after a couple of seconds.

"But I THINK I have fixed the glitch with the capes."

"Oh? Good to hear!" Leo replied, as they stepped into the alley, with Leo checking subtly to see if anyone was looking. They walked deeper in, and he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Yep." Lunet replied.

The two then disappeared in a swift swirl of sand, appearing in the livingroom of the house her and Ty lived in.

"We're in your livingroom." he told her.

"The couch is literally right behind you." he added, to give her a sense of where she was.

Lunet nodded before setting her bag down on the couch, carefully, and folding the cane up.

"I know this place well enough that this," she motioned with the cane, "isn't even needed. I love it." she added.

"I'm going to go grab that drive with the patch. Back in a second." With that, she headed off, heading up to her room where she had the drive in question.

Leo watched her go, and raised an eyebrow.

"Heh. Glad she can walk around without use of the cane." he said.

He then proceeded to unpack a few things from his sizeable shoulder bag, and set them down on the table in front of him.

"...should I bring it up NOW?" he wondered.

"Or wait until I have an actual WORKING theory...?"

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Lunet returned.

"Got it." She said simply before taking a seat on the couch, making sure to not have her back under her ass.

"All right. So what all have you got?" She then asked, her voice curious

"Right!" Leo responded.

"First thing I have is a bluetooth headset." he told her.

"I want you to test it and see how clear it is, how comfortable it is, and if the bumps are noticeable, that sort of thing." he said further.

He then handed the set towards her, placing it in her hands.

"Feel free to hook it up to whatever you like."

Lunet nodded.

"Fair." She said.

"Didn't expect the headset, to be honest." She admitted a few seconds later as she grabbed her phone.

"Is there anything in specific that you'd want me to touch upon or pay attention to?" She asked as she was working to get what she'd been given hooked up to her phone.

"The position of the braille, how clear it is, whether or not it feels like it'll wear down or come off, for starters." Leo replied.

"And the clarity of the voice-operator/assistant." he then said.

"Basically, like a text-to-speech, but recognises voice commands and talks to you to confirm things." he continued.

"Clarity, accuracy, and if they're clear in their responses." he explained.

"And overall quality and feel."

Lunet nodded.

"Makes sense." She said before holding the drive out to him.

"Feel free to hook it up to my laptop." She told him.

"while testing thisout and all. Might as well get a run in with the Work in Progress I got going."
