"A few years, huh?" Thierry smiled, "'dat good, knowing what you want to do. 'specially if 'dat mean you gonna follow yo' dream. But I let you keep drawin' 'den. Don't want to distract you further from doin' what you do." And he wanted to get that thing back together as well. He gave her a smile and a wink, and then turned back to the transmission, looking at the pieces splayed out before him.
He took up one piece, and then another, and began putting it back together. It would take him the rest of the afternoon, and maybe the next as well to complete the job. But Thierry never left a job half-done.
