Vredda hadn't meant to listen in on a Homs talking about an appliance for mixing food easier, she really hadn't! But now that she had this information, well… Maybe she could make something just for that! It shouldn't be too hard, right?

Now, she didn't know much about food, but if Homs could mix things by hand, she doubted she needed to make something too powerful. Stronger than a Homs didn't mean much to your average Machina, after all.

She was hard at work on just that now, studying everything Machina had to get an idea of what to do. Of course, the child who was having their rotors stared at was probably confused, but… That was fine, right?

Wanting to put her finger in one, she decided to finally speak to the child, maybe give them some background on this all. "Excuse me, could you shut down the pod for a moment? I need to study your rotor a bit, use it as inspiration for what I'm making."

"What are you making?" The child asked, turning their pod towards her.

"Well, it's an electric item that Homs can use to mix their food more easily! I think I will call it… a mixer." Her eyes were shining as she spoke. "I thought it would be helpful when I heard a Homs talking about having arm aches from mixing so much by hand."

"Oh! What a nice name…" The child nodded and soon enough, the pod was shutting down and gently setting itself on the ground. "Go ahead, then."

"Thank you!" She smiled and went right to work looking it over. She wasn't sure if this was what she was going to need in the end, but researching to figure out just how to make the appliances people needed was part of the job. Better to do it now and have it for later if it wasn't needed for this, after all!

She hummed, taking her time to study it and even take notes. The more she had, the easier the prototype would be. Just a little more and she would be ready to start on said prototype, too… How exciting!

"Hey, miss?" The child spoke up and Vredda glanced up at the back of the pod.

"Yes, what do you need?"

For a moment, there was nothing said. Maybe Vredda had misheard them, she thought? She was about to ask, in fact, when the child finally spoke up again.

"Do you want some help? I like to tinker, so maybe I can help a little." Their voice was soft, shy, and she couldn't help but giggle at that.

"Oh my, how nice of you… I don't think I need help, but if I do, I'll come and find you, how about that, hm?" She smiled as she stood. "I'm done, by the way. Thank you very much for letting me study the rotor."

The pod started back up and the child turned to face her again. "Okay, no problem! Good luck with the mixer, Ma'am!"

"Thank you, I'll do my best."
