The idea of being there when she studying is just nice and he really should have done more on the commission than he has already.

So he decided to grab a mixture of things and asked Bar for something to eat and she provided him with a simple basket with snacks in it.

Once he was sure he hadn't forgotten anything, then he knocked.

He smiles and leans over that tiny bit more to kiss her on the lips,

"I know, that's why I told you."

Both his word and the kiss get a wide smile.

"How is the dragon?"

"Coming along. I don't want it to go too fast or too slow so I'm trying to find a way to make the legs work that I like."

"How fast do you want it? Walking, or slower?"

"Its for a pretty young boy so I don't want it to be too fast. So if I could find a good walking pace, that would work best."

"How old?"

"Four so it shouldn't be too complicated."

"I'll pay attention when I go back home to my younger cousins and see how fast they can manage."

"Thanks. I've never really made anything for someone that small before."

"Really? I would have thought...or do you do smaller things, like with jewelery and the frog?"

"I do all sorts of things but I don't really share them that much. I've made things for my sister sometimes and my friends. Most people don't really know what to do with them."

"Seems a shame. You make such interesting things."

"Yes, but its not what I'm really supposed to be doing. Its what I do when I've done everything else."

He starts searching in the basket again, because he hates thinking about this.

Part of Kait wants to poke and prod and see...but the other is aware of how uncomfortable he seems, so she leaves it.

"And you are making it out of metal? The dragon?"

"Yes though without any sharp edges."

He's grateful, he would probably tell her but he won't volunteer anything easily.

"Hollow to keep it light?"

"Well, it needs to be hollow so it can have something to power it."

"I didn't think of that."

He just smirks and leans over to kiss her,

"Most people don't, after all you don't see it. All the really interesting stuff happens where you can't."

Kait smirks back.

"Spoken like a true engineer."

"Maybe, engineers have more training and make things that are more than toys."

"You are how old again?"

"Turning seventeen in two weeks. Why?"

"So you're an apprentice engineer," she says, serenely taking a bite of pastry.

He frowns and then smiles with a sigh and eats the pie he's grabbed,

"Who am I apprenticed to?"
