There's a smile on his face at her comments and questions and he nods with warmth at the talk about the sky. It had been the first thing he saw when he fell into the maze. He looked up and saw the bands of setting sun. And he knew, he knew, he had made it out of hell. All the magics in the world, even those that created a perfect life in Hellburbia, never once gave the illusion of a sun in hell. The hell related trauma would start to unravel as she saw the sunrise, Tech's sure.
And when she answers his question with a near immediate pizza, he laughs. "Pizza it is. You can trust the food here. In the past three months I've been here, I haven't noticed them spiking the food. But I might not be the best judge because...well I don't have to eat." By virtue of being part machine. He can, though. He sometimes does primarily for the comfort of his more human companions. "But I haven't seen anything weird. So I'd say...approach with a degree of caution if things are free because they might be related to one of Thirteen's trials, but if you're paying for it...it'll be safe. And you're in luck. I know a good pizza place. Best New York style pizza in all of Folkmore -- except they don't really know what New York is, but they still somehow nail it."
He leads the way further into the apartment, guiding her toward the spare room. It's fairly spacious, although plain. Tech hadn't figured out what he was going to make it yet -- whether an office or simply a guest room. Right now it's a hybrid of both with its plain, neatly bed in the center and desk unit with a variety computer parts stacked in an organized way. Tech Boy is always meticulously neat -- nothing out of place here. It almost doesn't feel lived in with how neat and pristine things are.
"You can sleep here. There's an attached bathroom and a shower where you can clean up, and let me grab you those clothes." He holds up his index finger only to disappear into his room for a moment, coming back with an oversized sweatshirt and a pair of fleece pajama pants. Kate won't exactly be a trendsetter in the look, but it certainly has Tech Boy's flair.
"Towels are in the second cabinet, bottom shelf. Wash cloths right above them. And there are a variety of shampoos, conditioners and body washes in the first cabinet. You can use whatever you want." He cracks a smile. "I try to keep an array on hand for Jaskier, mostly. He's more particular than most of the girls I've dated. But I love him all the same..."
The confession is twofold -- just because he wants Kate to know he's been okay and he's even found moments of happiness here. And also, even though Jaskier isn't the same, it will still be a familiar face for her here in Folkmore...hopefully a source of comfort.
