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

"Fair enough." Leo responded.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"I'd give you a business card, but I don't think that would do much good here." he reasoned with a small chuckle.

"Do you prefer to be contacted over email or text or phone?" he asked her.

"I'm more than willing to accommodate for you." he assured her kindly.

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

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

"Oh!" Leo exclaimed.

"All right then, fair enough." he told her.

At that point, some gears started to turn in his mind, but he dismissed them quickly, clearing his throat a little.

"Say, Lunet." he then said.

"Would you like to be a tester for me?" he asked.

"Which is to say, when I make new models and such for computers geared towards those with visual issues, want to help me figure out what needs to be improved or what works really well?"

Forgive, O Lord,

"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.

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

Forgive, O Lord,

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."

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

Forgive, O Lord,

"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.

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

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..."

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

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

"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."

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

"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.

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.

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

Leo thought for a moment.

"I'm craving one of those berry smoothies you guys have." he chuckled.

"They are addictive." he laughed.

"So yeah, might get one of those." he went on, looking back at the laptop Lunet was working on, and narrowing his eyes.

"...wait, is that a model that WE make...?" he wondered.

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

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

Leo nodded in response.

"It's okay." he said.

"Just remember that you need to make a decision in 30 days time." he reminded her. "Contact me within that time if you think of anything more you need me to do." he continued.

"It's best to not ask for changes once the contract has been sighed." he went on.

"Friend or no, red tape HATES it when that happens." he mumbled.

"I might be the owner and operator of the company, but it's a pain to do changes to a contract post-signing. Unless the changes are super small. Then I just do it as a bonus."

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