"Yeah, I suppose so. What time should we meet tomorrow? Does 12:45 work? I have some…. previous engagements I need to take care of." she said.
"Yeah, 12:45's fine. I'll probably heat up the forge, start the metal we'll need for the day and pick you up. So I might be a tad late."
"It's not a problem. See you tomorrow!" she grinned.
"See you." He grinned back a little and warped her back to her apartment.
Maria walked inside and got ready for bed. She fell asleep, dreaming of the day's events.
(Perhaps we could time skip? Or would that be too quick?)
(I kinda want to write just one thing, but then yeah.)
(Okay go ahead. It's the next morning)
Maria woke up at 7 a.m. She took a shower and brushed her teeth, then ran outside to her motorcycle as quickly as possible. She drove to a hospital, checked in, and raced to room 41. "Camila!" she smiled. There was a young woman, slightly younger than Maria herself sitting on the bed. "Maria." Camila smiled. The two chatted for a while, and Maria found herself talking about her new job. She didn't explain it fully, but talked about how she was doing some more design projects. Camila's eyes lit up hearing Maria's excitement. Maria checked her watch. 12:45. "I'm sorry Camila, I need to go. See you tomorrow, querida hermana.*" she said, walking out the door. She ran back to her apartment and waited for Havenwood.
*Querida hermana means "Dearest sister". I Google translated it since I'm a bit rusty on Spanish, sorry!
(Okay. I don't mind at all. ^~^)
Havenwood appeared one hour late ashy faced and nervous looking. "Hey, sorry I'm late. Prometheus almost caught on."
"It's, erm, fine. Shall we be off then?" she asked, swinging on the locket.
"Yeah." Havenwood inhaled deeply, calming himself and stuck out his hand. "It'll be okay."
Maria took his hand, ready to teleport.
They teleported directly into the cave this time, where Havenwood walked away to check the entryway and his room. "Alright, he's not here. Should we get started?"
"Yes, let's get started. I already have a good idea of what to do, so we can begin without any formalities." she grinned.
"Okay, what's your idea?" Havenwood turned to face her and walked over.
"Well…." Maria said, piling several intricate designs and blueprints onto the table. She explained what they were and what they were for, and the two set to work.
It was an eventful day, and they weren't interrupted, as Havenwood was worried about. They forged the steel needed for the project and molded it before Maria had to go home.
"Ah, look at the time. It slips by while we're having fun. Well, I sent the first payment (reverted into human cash) in your requested bank account." He stuck his hand out. "Today was great!"
"It was." she smiled.
"See you tomorrow at 12:45?" He grinned back.
"We can do earlier. I'm not busy tomorrow."
"Alright. What's okay with you?"
"9:30 a.m. work for you?"
"Sure, see you then." He waved his fingers around on his already outstretched hand.
Maria took his hand. When he had left, she stepped into her house and lay down, unable to sleep. She managed to do so am hour later, and woke up feeling refreshed as ever and ready for a new day.
At 9:30 sharp Havenwood appeared in her room. "Are you up yet?" He called gingerly.
"¿Qué estás haciendo aqui?" Maria exclaimed , pulling the covers in front of her bare torso.
Translation: "What are you doing here?"
"Wh- it's nine thirty!" Havenwood stumbled back.
"Oh. It's you. Well don't just stand there gaping, give me a little privacy to get dressed!" she snapped.
"Alright, alright!" Havenwood couldn't snap back; that took him totally by surprise. He shuffled out of the room and looked out the window, shaking his head.
