They had begun eating.
"Mmm! Miri, this is amazing! You've outdone yourself again, you know."
Amy says, cheerfully.
"Thanks, sis! I do try my best!"
They eat their breakfast, with only Kor'El not eating.

-
Lucas throws a curious glance at Kor'El, but doesn't say anything, instead starting to eat as well.
-
They all eat their breakfast in relative quiet, until Kor'El breaks the ice. [i][u]"So, Abby, when will you introduce us to your girlfriend?"[/u][/i] The necron girl speaks up shyly, mostly due to Lucas' presence. "She uh... she's pretty shy... and very self conscious."
-
Lucas keeps quiet, making a mental note of the Necron girl's shyness, though he doesn't pay it much mind; some people are just shy after all, him included.
-
[i][u]"Ah! She doesn't have to feel shy at all. After all, she's part of the family now. Just like you, Lucas."[/u][/i]
-
He looks up at Kor'El, and slowly nods, replying with his signature kind and soft tone, "And I'm happy to be a part of it!" Before returning to his food, swiftly finishing it. "Thanks for the delicious meal, Miri!"
-
"Thanks, love! I made it with just that. Love." She smiles, clearing the table once everyone was done.
-
He grins and nods, glancing over the merry little family. Well, little... five people wasn't that little.
-
[i][u]"So, Lucas, my daughter tells me you have a mechanized suit, correct?"[/u][/i]
-
"Ayup! Built it myself, if I may add! It falls short compared to the things you people have though."
-
[i][u]"Ah, yes... very little comes close to Tau engineering in the universe. I would very much like if you would show me your... mech."[/u][/i]
-
"I realized that, yes. Very impressive machinery you guys have. Still don't know how it works though... And I would be pleased to show you my... baby, of sorts."
-
[i][u]"Very well, then. Let us get going."[/u][/i] Kor'El stood up from the table. [i][u]"I will only borrow him for a short moment."[/u][/i] He says, looking at Mir'ika.
-
Lucas stands up as well, giving Miri a grateful nod. "I'll be back soon.."
-
With Lucas, Kor'El returned to the warehouse, descended the stairs and walked up to Lucas' mech. [i][u]"This is it, huh?"[/u][/i]
-
In the days that Lucas had been there he started repairs on the mech, tools and oil were laying around the mech itself. "This is it, yeah. Currently busy with fixing it up though; girl got roughened up a bit couple days ago."
-
[i][u]"Can I... give her a try?"[/u][/i] He said, looking at him.
-
Lucas frowns, and bites his lower lip a bit as he thinks, eventually carefully saying, "Be gentle with her.."
-
[i][u]"Oh, have no fear."[/u][/i] Then, something strange happened. The glowing red fents of the battlesuit glew even stronger, as they poured out of the suit. As it was emptied, a cloud of red energy floated in the air. The cloud then flew into his suit, powering it up. It began moving around as if it was piloted. [i][u]"hm... primitive, but nonetheless efficient. This is good work!"[/u][/i]
-
A smile forms on his face. "Thanks! I did my best on her, proud of her too." Lucas pauses for a bit, his head tilting a little. "Wonder how many times I'm gonna be surprised by everything this place has to offer.. It's pretty damn crazy."
-
[i][u]"Oh, it is only the surface. But I will tell you now... most surprises you will find will be unpleasant. This place isn't as nice as us."[/u][/i]
-
"Oh, I know. I already met one of those unpleasant surprises when some giant.. thing showed up in a geyser of blood. Luckily Miri was there to save the day.." He said, still thankful.
-
[i][u]"Ah, she must have been using the Justificator. It's a very recent suit, luckily, it's maker is one of my only remaining friendly contacts within the Empire. He shared a copy of the blueprint with me."[/u][/i]
-
"Justificator, eh? Name definitely suits it well." He says honestly. "...But eh... You wouldn't happen to have any spare parts laying around... that I could use, right?"
-
[i][u]"Oh, I'm afraid not our resources are very limited in this place."[/u][/i]
-
"That's what I expected.. Eh, no matter, really. It'll work fine for now, just have to finish repairs."
