In general, Nate tried to keep to himself in the workroom - he knew he appreciated a degree of privacy when working on new projects, and many machinists could get downright nasty if you tried to take a peek at their designs. But when Master Lionward actually cleared her workspace of all but three projects, and then spent the better part of an hour staring at them... well, that was interesting. And it didn't exactly seem like he'd be interrupting exactly...
Who was he even trying to fool, Nate just wanted to know what she was up to. Curiosity wasn't exactly a character flaw in his line of work.
From what he could see over the diminutive Master's shoulders, she'd pulled apart one of the jump boots she'd displayed at the exhibition - was it last year now? - and set it alongside what looked like parts from her hoverboard, and the well-greased joints of a mechanical leg.
Maybe she was... or was it... confused, Nate twisted his head from side to side. Possibly a lighter limb, for someone like a monk who would need more mobility? But then why both the hoverpads and the jump boots...
Okay, he'd never know if he didn't ask. "D'you want a second pair of eyes," Nate asked, only then noticing quite how close he'd gotten.
