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

Leo paused for a moment.

"Wait, what?" he asked.

"Night terrors? STILL?" he asked her.

He then narrowed his eyes and stared off into the distance.

"...how often?" he asked.

"Because we can sort of affect the content. I mean, depending on how often you experience them, the one in charge of your dreams might be dropping the ball a little." he told her further.

"So yeah, how often to they occur, on average?"

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

"Two or three a month." lunet told him honestly.

"It's not anything TOO severe, but it is most certainly not ideal." she added after a moment or two.

and... And I'm not meaning to get anyone in trouble..."

"Hmmm..." Leo mumbled.

"Two or three a month..." he said.

"I'll look into it." he told her.

"For all I know, this could either be a case of you should only be getting 1 a month or so, or even NONE, or it's a case where the one charged with your dreams is cutting the number down considerably." he continued.

"But I'll see what's going on."

Lunet nodded.

"Thanks." She said simply.

"I do appreciate you being willing to look into it."

"Hey, no worries." Leo replied.

"I'll see what's up later today." he said.

"But... anyway, where were we...?" he then wondered aloud.

"Oh! Mana!" he recalled, snapping his fingers.

"See... I'm pretty sure you have passive mana." he told her.

"And... well... if you do, then I have an idea for something that MAY help you a lot in life." he went on. "But I don't want to say anything until after we know about your mana situation."

Lunet nodded.

"Makes sense. Don't get my hopes up - and yours - for something that might not even work." She commented.

"Where and how can I get that checked?" She asked, her voiec curious.

"Dr. Edwards should be able to do that." Leo replied.

"They can do blood tests and such to find it out." he told her.

"And it doesn't take long at all. Odds are if it's not too busy tomorrow, you could do in there and ask her to do it." he went on.

"...in the meantime, I need to see this... this... monstrosity of a contract... is dealt with." he then said.

"Because this is just... leaving a bad taste in my mouth."

Lunet nodded.

"I'll make it a point to head down there during the day tomorrow then." She commented.

"because I don't wanna bother Angela at home later." She added with a shrug.

"And yeah... see why it's been frustrating me to no end?"

"I'd say you're exercising IMMENSE patience with these vultures." Leo replied.

"No, I am going to have the ones 'working' with you drowning in legal threats." he snarled.

"...or at the very least, they're not going to be sleeping soundly for a while." he then hissed quietly, before clearing his throat.

"Anyway." he said.

"Last this is a tablet meant for those that are blind." he told her.

"Like an iPad." he clarified.

"Care to test THAT out for a couple of months as well?" he asked.

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

Lunet paused.

"All right, I'll bite." She commented.

"What makes it different to work for a blind person?" She asked. "Like... I have a tablet, and I can use it decently, what sets yours apart?"

Forgive, O Lord,

Leo just smirked to himself.

"Well, more specifically, it's the screen." he told her.

"I mean, I want to see if the tablet is comfortable for you, again, with the braille and such." he said. "Basic things." he told her.

"However, the screen is experimental, in the sense that it's meant to give haptic feedback. As in, it uses mana to react to others' mana, and they can 'feel' the icons on the screen." he continued.

"EVERYONE has mana inside them." he went on. "Even non-mages. And the screen is supposed to be able to react to that." he told her.

"...now, odds are something like this would probably out mages, in the sense of how this could exist, or who it'd be for, but... well, I want to see if it works. Just to see if I succeeded in it or not."

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

Lunet was silent for a few seconds before laughing lightly.

"Leo, that's brilliant." She told him honestly.

"If it works, then that would be a monumental thing." She added as she felt for the power button.

"If it works." Leo responded, as she felt around, easily finding the button. She felt it, with the word 'power' written in braille beside it.

"It might not." he said.

"And even if it does, I think the technology MAY be ahead of its time." he went on. "Sadly, if the existence mages was to be known widely, then odds are the world would end." he lamented.

"And I'm not even exaggerating." he muttered.

"But, still, if it works, I can use the tech to possibly help my friends and such." he reasoned.

"For now, it's experimentation for the sake of experimentation."

"Even if it isn't something you can release right now, there are definitely people who would lkely benefit from it. Lunet commented.

"Like, even if you take this one back, fix it up or whatever, and give me one in the future, or give a few at the Unit - specifically to Angela since I know sometimes people come in and can't see due to whatever reason." She continued. "And no one without mage knowledge or whatever is allowed in the building, so.." She shrugged.

"Even still, even if you keep it for yourself, just knowing it is bound to be a feather in your cap."

Leo chuckled.

"I suppose so." he said.

"And I know that voice commands are a thing, and they work very well." he told her. "Hell, THIS one has voice commands as well, and they should work just fine." he continued.

"But sometimes voice isn't an option." he said further.

"So this is meant to be a backup, just in case." he reasoned.

"That and, to see if I could manage it."

Lunet nodded.

"Makes sense. Point of pride if you managed it, and all." She commented as she got a feel for the device overall.

When she touched the screen to find the corners and such though, she pulled her hand back.

".... well then. I know you told me that it uses mana and such, but that doesn't mean I expected to be shocked." She commented.

"..." Leo was silent for a moment.

"...shocked?" he asked. "Legit shocked?" he asked her.

"Yes. Legit shocked." Lunet confirmed.

"That... shouldn't have happened." Leo said.

"That should have been FAR too weak to give a legitimate shock." he reasoned.

"Yeah well, my finger is still a bit tingly." Lunet told him with a shrug.

"Didn't hurt, just caught me by surprise." She added after a moment before putting her hand back to the screen. He could have sworn he literally saw the mana react, but it was gone as quickly as it came so there was no way to be certain. She flinched, but didn't recoil, and it faded after a few seconds as well.

"The screen actually feels ... weird. bnut not a bad weird."

"I... I see." Leo said.

"And weird, huh?" he asked.

"Just... keep using it for a bit and then let me know later." he told her.

"But... I don't think we need to test you." he then said.

"I think this was proof enough." he went on.

"I think you actually do have passive mana. Pretty potent, too."

"eh?" Lkunet asked.

"How do you figure?" She asked. It wasn't that she doubted him, it was more that she wasn't sure what it was that he was getting at. What proved anything?

"And yeah, weird. It's ... I'm not used to what I presume is the screen feeling so soft."
