"More than likely." Leo replied.

"Now, I don't mean to say that you're changing everything drastically." he said.

"It's just that the quality-of-life changes you're adding will make things SO much smoother." he explained.

"And I like the concept of being to 'test' an upgrade before selecting it." he continued.

"That's what I mean when I say it'll change a lot." he said.

"You're just making things a LOT more user-friendly."

"I can as well, and I hear the fuzziness too." Leo responded.

"So I don't think it's your phone." he told her.

"Maybe something jarred loose inside them, I'll have to take a look, or maybe the connectivity isn't as great as I want it to be." he mumbled.

"Regardless, thanks." he continued.

"Now come on back to test MORE tech stuff."

"Yeah, sure." he responded.

"When you get back, I'll elaborate on what I said."[/] he told her.

She then left the room and he waited, when he heard his phone. He checked it, saw it was her, and answered.

[b]"Hello, hello." he said.

"You hearing me clearly?" he asked.

"Sure thing." Leo replied.

He then hooked the drive up to her laptop and loaded it up.

And was stunned at what he saw.

"Oh, man." he mumbled.

"These will REALLY shake up the game." he told her.

"Seriously, these will improve it SO damn much!"

"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."

"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."

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...?"

"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.

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."

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."

"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."

"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."

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."

"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."
