[Oh, Rita Farr, don't you get him started on science.]
No way. I made a robot body, too! I mean, I had a little help, but β did you know I made Viv's old body? I'm not sure if that was... No, that was definitely way before you came to the station. It was super old and her newer body was way better, but... y'know, I'm still pretty proud of it! It even hovered, so she didn't have to clunk around on metal legs.
[Oh, he would absolutely love to have Rita has an assistant while he builds things.
... And also, because he just wants to have her company.]
That was you? I hadn't been around long for it but I remember the body switch.
[ around that time where everyone argued whether to steal it. she remembers. ]
The hovering was a solid idea. You don't know how many times I've been woken up in the middle of the night because Cliff decided to stomp around just to get from one side of the house to the other.
[ though she complains, she does miss cliff. she misses him, just as she misses the rest of her friends.
but she gives newt a fond smile, nodding as she hums in thought. ]
As well, you should be proud. Because that sounds just like something you'd do. Finding ways to make things easier and better for other people.
Yeaaah... I might've been a little jealous of how awesome the newer body was...
[The energy of that reply is on par with a kid kicking a can around.
Wait, though. More important things to focus on. He immediately perks up at the compliment β and in this moment, without having to think twice for once, he actually believes what she says. Maybe he shouldn't let it get to his head, but... nurturing his pride back to health isn't such a bad thing.]
Hey, you're not so bad at it yourself, y'know. Trying to make things easier and better for people? You're doing it right now.
