[After copying and saving the information to pass off to Quatre later (in a casual, no-pressure conversation, of course), Duo is mid-reply on the first text (to add some details about the bike, nearing completion) when he receives the second, and stops mid-sentence.]
[Ah. He restarts his reply.]
Thanks a bunch. I'll remember to make the trouble up to you next time you need a favor.
[Mm.]
Want to talk about it?
[He's pretty sure he knows the answer, but even if she hadn't just helped him out, Duo Maxwell is never one not to offer an ear or a hand if it's needed.]
Never met, you just don't forget green haired folks where I come from I guess.
[Unlike Gundam Wing, a Very Normal People anime???]
Well, one more project couldn't hurt I guess. Yours is getting pretty close to done, I have paint and a bit more cosmetic work to put into it. Might as well have something else to put my mind on.
If you get some ideas of what he's after, feel free to pass them on.
[While he's busy ignoring his own sads lalala friends getting Ported out can't hurt if he doesn't think about it, what if he just noses into other people's business instead?]
I think I'll bring him with me, when I pick it up, in that case. He loves this kind of stuff. Bikes and machines and stuff like that. He used to build robots in our basement, back in the City.
He'll want speed for sure.
[ Not to mention his dreams of being a PROFESSIONAL RIDING DUELIST........ but that is a conversation Rua can have on his own tbh. ]
Great, should make finding parts a lot easier, then.
Your machine should be ready for pickup within the next two weeks. You can both come by then, and he can see what he likes, if he's into picking his own parts. You've seen I got plenty.

You weren't friends with the Shinigami, if I remember right.

And he hasn't seen the design yet, so I couldn't say if it's his taste. I haven't mentioned it, yet.

Good horsepower, got it. I'll start looking for parts. How is he on new/used?

Okay. Let me know when, and I'll bring him over. He'll actually know what he's looking at, so it should be easier for you, too.
no subject
Sounds good! Always fun talking to a fellow greasemonkey, you know?
I'll send you a new message when everything's done.
