[He offers her an apologetic look. She's right, of course, and even though he's curious, maybe they shouldn't start off with something as heavy as that.]

Right, then, so what about happy topics! [He sets his menu down, apparently having decided, and laces his fingers together, leaning in.]

Let's talk about something we enjoy about what we do! You go first.

[nrangel]

[ They can save the heavy stuff for dessert, when Serpilia is at least pacified with sugar. ]

I managed to nab myself a job working on building things like drones and other gadgets, so I kind of lucked out in that regard.

[reverso]

Oh, so you're an... engineer?

[Memory flickers. An engineer like Gustave?]

Though I'm not sure I know what a drone is.

[nrangel]

Mmhm!

[ Kind of surprising he doesn't know what that is, but then again Sankta don't exist in other worlds, so it makes sense drones wouldn't exist in most of them either?

... This logic does not line up, and is not true in most cases, but she's sticking with it for now. ]

I can show you sometime later if you want. I brought a few with me. They're handy if I want a proxy to attend a meeting for me, instead of having to sit through it myself.

[reverso]

So they're like... a stand-in for you? I'd love to see it.

[Offers a smile.]

Maybe you can have one attend the match ceremony, and none will be the wiser.

[that's not how it works]

[nrangel]

Sooort of. In the sense that they have microphones and cameras on them. I'm pretty sure someone would figure it out pretty fast if I tried to put a dress on one of my drones and sent it in.

[ Though the idea is kind of appealing in order to get out of having to do it herself...

But man... how to explain a drone to someone who has never seen one? ]

It'll make a lot more sense once I show you later.

[reverso]

All right. Show me sometime, I really do want to see it.

[Hm. His turn?]

And I can tell you about Esquie in turn. He was a friend of mine. I think you'd like him, he was also so positive about everything around him.

[nrangel]

Sounds a bit like Maya.

[ And Serpilia likes Maya from what she's seen, so she thinks Verso might be right. ]

People like that are pretty important, huh?
