"No, Lady Zera. It's more like...this node into this slot, this piece into this slot."
Zera's eyes widened, utterly focused on the task at hand. Tekla couldn't help but muse slightly as the younger girl watched her upgrade Voxx's settings. The face that was usually drawn in a scowl or a pout was open with curiosity. She genuinely seemed eager to learn, and as Tekla narrated what she was doing, she seemed to easily grasp it, her mind quick and her eyes quicker. She had only had to repeat herself twice.
"I think I'm starting to understand," Zera said slowly, not moving her eyes away from the cables and tools attached to the computer's little body. "With each upgrade, you need a separate connection, otherwise using more than one will override any individual upgrade you want to make. Doing that would risk overheating Voxx."
Tekla leaned back a little, her eyebrows shooting up. That was exactly what she was doing – only she hadn't said as much. "Yes," she replied. "Precisely."
Zera smiled widely, placing her hands together in front of her in a single clap. "Can I do the next one? I promise I won't hurt anything."
Tekla smiled in reply, holding out the tools to her. Zera took them with an excited murmur, one that Tekla found amusing and delightful.
