[She's in the astronomy tower, gazing up at the setting sun and the start of the stars peeking out of the sky. An unfamiliar coat rests on her shoulders, one far too big for her that she holds around her shoulders with her good hand like a blanket.]
[MORE STEPS FOR AKIRA. . . but considering the mansion is not ADA compliant, he is learning how to maneuver them more quickly each and every day. when he makes it to the top of the tower and finds Luna staring at the sky, he approaches quietly, not wanting to interrupt her solitude]
[instead of speaking to announce his presence, he reaches out to place his hand on her shoulder]
[There's a jump, though it's slight, her gaze jolting to the side. But her expression melts into something content and slightly enbarrassed when she recognizes who is behind her.]
Akira... [There's a pleased hum, almost a giggle under her breath.] I-I can't believe you climbed all those stairs again... You're going to wear yourself out.
[She looks like she wants to chide back at him for that. But her eyes fall on the bag, then back to him, like that somehow would clarify that what she was seeing is, in fact, correct.]
[Ahhhh putting her on the spot...! She takes a moment to struggle to her feet without dropping the coat to the floor.]
Um... we might want to move it to one of the laboratories first, but... y-yes, I found something. It's very, very technical, but I... I could try to explain it to you as best as possible...?
It doesn't matter how technical it is as long as you're there to put it into layman's terms for me.
[he will, of course, do his best, but. . . he will need to rely on her guidance at certain points in the process. after all, he's a normal, average teenager. with maxed out proficiency and knowledge, sure, but he's no Futaba]
O-okay. I'll... I'll go get a couple things from the infirmary, and the manual.
Could I meet you in the lab? That will give you some time to look through what Peach gave you. We might cover more ground that way. [And she is NOT making you walk up and down all those stairs, thank you.]
[he senses that ulterior motive to asking him to meet her in the lab, but you know what? stairs. are hard. so he'll take the out she's giving him and nod]
Sure thing. And hopefully by the end of tonight, we'll have your arm up and running, good as new.
[maybe not. . . perfectly good as new, but close enough]

I... a-are we doing this right now, or...??
no subject
That depends on you, actually. Is now a good time? Were you able to find a manual in the library?

If now works, then let's head downstairs, okay?
[m-more steps]
