[Voice]

[When Frau's voice flickers on it's filled with rage, pure and simple. Mixed into that is a hidden sadness that nearly chokes him. In the background is the sound of a pitiful little whining from Mimsy.]

God dammit, brat! You swore to me that you would take care of yourself!

[There's a growl from Frau and a pause, where Mimsy's whimpering is more obvious.]

Don't you see what you did to her? Huh?

[And to him, but he would never say that. He can deal with loss. He's dealt with it before and he'll deal with it again. It's no big deal to him. Which is total bullshit, but he'll stand by that anyway.]

And YOU!

[It's not overly apparent that Frau's no longer talking about Kevin, but he's not.]

This is why I don't believe in you, you ass.

[she nonchalantly hands him the blueprints, still keeping most of her attention on the engine]

Here. I've drawn up the designs. It's simple, really. Just follow what I've written.

[Right. Simple. Frau doesn't believe a word of that, but he'd sooner try than say he can't do it.]

Alright.

[she doesn't write the most concise directions. and it doesn't help some of her notes are in Gallifreyan]

So these machines, they're popular on your world? How do you incorporate an animal? Do you use cybernetics? Biomechanical constructs?

[Frau is stumbling his way through the directions, which he's not very good at following to begin with.]

What? Oh. No, they're just that way already. We just modify the parts when new equipment comes out.

[oh oh oh this is fascinating] So the animals are born with mechanical parts? They aren't so much built as augmented?

Don't think so.

Oh, I want so very much to see a real one for better study. I suppose it's impossible and we'll have to make do with what we have, but having an actual one would be so much better. Though I suppose it would defeat the purpose of our being here if that were the case...

Yup, it would. I'd do just about anything to get my hands on a real hawkzile. Since I can't, I just have to make do with what I have.

Well in that case, let's get to work. I should have this engine worked out in a day or so. You should be flying in a week.

[That actually makes Frau pause.]

A week? You're kidding, right?

Why? Do you want it sooner?

Well, yeah, but I didn't even figure I'd have it in a few months.

Oh, well. I can take longer on it, I suppose. It's just exciting building something new.

What? No! That's dumb. I just didn't think anyone could built it that fast.

It's quite possible I can't. Not from scratch. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't try, yes?

[Frau grins widely.]

Nope. Let's do it.

I thought you'd say that.

[and back to work!]

[Frau smirks and returns to trying to figure out how to do this.]
