"Have you ever tried making jewelery or something," he asks, idly, while they're watching her fiddle.

"You can do whatever you want to it, copper is pretty unlikely to shatter.  If I did it with steel, there'd be a risk that it wouldn't bend properly and snap instead.  I'd be fine for a person, I can take care of injuries, but I can't fix a cell phone."  Way to imply it's better for someone to be hurt than have their cell phone break.  "Well.  You know what I mean, it's suck to have someone hurt because I didn't do my homework."  Stop rambling.


To Jamie: "I thought about it for a little bit, I might do it as an arts-and-crafts project?  You know, for fun.  But I'm not that much better at manipulating small things than an actual jeweler's toolkit would be."

Foreshadow is not sure if it's a good idea to talk right now but that's fine, the copper is very interesting.

Yessss she's having a good time, he's getting a good grade in Esper Relations and maybe the regen will take the edge off something for her.  Tim will cheerfully wait a few minutes while she has her fun tangling and/or untangling the copper knot(s).

"I bet you could get that way, though," he comments after some time. "With the jewelery. Plus, you might be able to do some things a toolkit would struggle with."

"You're probably right.  I bet I could do some neat stuff with metal, I know my resilience works against heat.  I sort of burned myself on the stovetop, or I would have.  I tested it afterwards, and I can turn it on faster than I can measure with a stopwatch, less than a tenth of a second for sure.  Speed of thought, really."  You need to meet people, you can't just let someone enjoy super-strength for ages.  "Is it okay if I take the power back?  I don't mind you playing with it, but I want to meet some other people and I don't want to leave you augmented before you're used to it.  It um, accidents can happen."  oh my god you are literally never getting rid of saying 'um' why are you like this, Tim.  If only I could leave her like this you KNOW that's a bad idea Tim.

Fiddle fiddle fiddle -- oh he's waiting for her -- is he ongoingly using his power? -- oh no -- nodnod, offer of copper back.

Tim will gracefully retrieve the copper and pocket it.  "I hope you enjoyed the power.  I'm going to go grab a bite to eat, I just realized I haven't eaten all afternoon.  I'll see you around!  If you need healing, you have my card.  It's not fast but it's pretty easy to do if I have guiding."  Your regeneration is glacial if it didn't happen recently, and without a local guide you're not going to be able to actually use it very well. If Sinkhole were still no.  That's your low blood sugar talking.  Go eat a canape or something.  Or salami.  Tim unaccountably flushes and makes for whichever snack is furthest away from the fancy meats.

Jamie waves after Tim, and offers Foresight his card. 

"Feel free to call if you need cargo moved, or an emergency guiding, or anything else," he says, tucking his hand back in his pocket.

"Thank you," she says, a little too late. Ah well. She'll take Jamie's card and thank him as well.

And Jamie will give her a wave of her own, and wander off to Lyra's room with his monstrosity soda to check in.
