Abe was leaning over the table in the kitchen, fiddling with a laptop. There were various cables and shiny stones littered on the table, as well as screws, bits of wire and what looked like the Necronomicon's baby sister.
Aranel walked in, making a beeline for the fridge. She took out a drink, then stopped.
"Abe, what the fuck are you doing?"
He looked up. "Just trying to create a stable inter-dimensional communications channel."
"Why?"
"Well, I know that taking back is going to take ages,and I don't want my family to worry, so I'm trying to make something that lets' be reassure them I'm okay. That and I want a really good internet connection."
"Well, that makes sense." she said, leaning against the counter and taking a sip of her drink.
"So, are we still going on that date?"
"Well, yeah.... It's just... I don't know any of the paces very well, and I'm not sure where to go, but soon as I find somewhere good, okay?"
"Sure. Pass me the toaster, would you? Next to your elbow."
"Oh, sure." she pulled the toaster plug out of the wall and tossed it to him. "I'll see you later, okay? I'm going to buy some books." she said, going over and kissing him on the forehead.
"See you, Nell." he replied, returning the kiss before getting back to work breaking off the toaster's casing. Aranel left him to it. He cracked off the casing and started to pull bits out here and there, making a big mess of bits.
"Right. Now what the fuck did I need all this for again?"

The air behind Abe flickered for a moment, giving the appearance of motion, the next moment talon appeared right where the flicker had been.
Talon leans over slightly looking over Abe's shoulder as he began to talk to himself." You wanted to take the heating coil and attach it to two of the diamond circuits to create a regulating current", Talon then answered as though it was entirely obvious.

Abe did a facepalm. "Yeah, you're right. Can't believe I forgot." he said, rolling his eyes at himself. He did so then turned around in the chair.
"How's it going? You want some tea? I'd offer you some toast too, but yeah. I think we have biscuits though." he offered, already getting up to put on the tea.

"No its fine, i just wanted to see how you and Aranel were doing", Talon said as a little swarm of bee like machines left his arms and started to go to work on the inter dimensional communication device.

"We're doing good. I'm keeping busy with this thing and Nell's doing her usual thing, like paper work and work. She's not here now though, she's off buying books and scoping out places for our date. You've have a few different books that weren't published at home, and I think she wants to take some information back, y'know? That and she's working on something for Alila as well a book of Crux legends. Reckon Lil'd like it? She keeps it somewhere in the sitting room if you want to see it yourself." he said helpfully. A thought struck him. "Wow, I talk a lot."

" yes you do", Talon said Looking down at the little communicator began to pull itself together," but I'm pretty sure she'll like it , don't ask me to deliver it though, i don't need to have Amy any more upset with Ali then she already is", He then said as he cracked his neck, a strangely metallic sound.

Abe went into the sitting and brought in the book. It was really just a folder filled with loose sheets of watercolours and sketches with a few pages of notes. Abe flipped it open.
"She decided to do the Cruztar legend first since, well, there's only one." he said, pointing out a few pages. One showed a Cruztar clad entirely in gold, fat and laden with jewels, sitting on a throne. Another showed the same being kicked off his throne by a man painted entirely in black and purple shades.
"Story goes that the Cruztar decided to worship only the Lady of War, rather than worshiping the Lord and Lady together, because they wanted to be immortal. The Lord got angry and started a huge war against the whole race and everyone got involved and ended up fighting against someone else."

Talon responded with just "Huh" before moving to sit on the couch.

"Honestly, I'm not surprised. I met the guy, and he's a dick. Fuck, not even a dick, just a Grade A sociopathic arsewipe. He's got a hard-on for killing people, even folks like Nell who help him." he said. "If I had the chance I think I'd probably try kick his ass too."

"Wish you would. He's the guy that's going to kill Nell, and I'm sure as shit not strong enough to break his neck. I don't think he can kill her while she's here though, so... I'm not rushed on going home."

Talon grimaced momentarily," Yeah if you want i'd not mind at all snapping his neck for you, i don't like it when death plays favorites like that", Talon then said as he stretched his arms upwards.

"On one hand, I want to say yes for obvious reasons, but I think Nell would kill me for messing with the natural order of home. I think we kind of need the guy, even if he is a dog-raping douchebag." Abe said, sounding a little disappointed about it.

Talon shrugged," I can substitute for a god if ya need one, specially one of death", Talon then answered nonchalantly.

Abe considered it. "I have no idea how that would work or if you even should replace a God, but hey, worth a shot!" he said cheerfully. "Better you than that dick."
