[There's the sound of him shifting and moving cables and then a grunt as he picks something up and then nudges it against Helena for her to take. It's a small mechanical arm, a skeletal frame of two lengths and a joint between them, and then three fingers at the end that close together on the same point, and then a base for attachment to something else. More of a proof of concept at the moment.]
It's just dead metal until it's told how to move, after all. That's my job, right now. That and making sure it's compatible with everything else... and actually works, ahaha. N-not that Senku's work isn't amazing...
[Because it is. He's always both impressed and insecure at the same time about it, but, still. It's subsumed a bit by the fact he's contributing himself. It's also clear from the touch of energy to his words and actions that he's happy to go on about it. It's fun to bounce ideas with Senku, but it's also been burning a hole in his pocket to talk to Helena about it... as long as he doesn't reveal Rei outright it should be fine, right?]
