[THINKING ABOUT THE AU WHERE THIS HAPPENS AND SCIEN IS JUST ANNOYED.
This is so funny though... SINCERE GIFT OF PUZZLE!!! But it's so easy to tell that he means it as a sincere gift NOT THE KIND SMILE. It's not the hilarious act of puzzle gifting that makes his heart feel a little lighter so much as the smile. Why does he keep getting these soft smiles. It's a nightmare out here.]
I see... Well. If you're certain, then.
[He will... click the last piece into place! And it is satisfying, though he thinks Scien would have probably enjoyed it more.]
[ WOW IT HAPPENED NO ONE DIED. IT'S ONE THOUSAND FUCKING PIECES
but scien looks pleased!!! he looks over the puzzle and his appreciation is truly less about the aesthetics and far more about the fact that they completed it together. ]
Well done.
[ he'll bring up their joined hands to press another kiss to the back of lucas's hand before moving on ]
Do you need food? Water? [ a beat ] Wine?
[ like looking after a pet because scien realizes other people need nourishment after four hours of brain time ]
[HE'S TRULY JUST THE :NYEH: EMOJI ABOUT THIS. Not as completely taken aback and startled as the first time but it's truly just the energy of like "why is this happening again" HE'S CONFUSED?? HE'S DISGRUNTLED!!! He doesn't know how he feels about this. It isn't terrible... A little well done and a little kissy...
WRANGLING HIS FOCUS AGAIN BEFORE HIS BRAINWORMS CAN START BITING right the food and water... He probably should after four hours of brain time. He always wants a glass of wine, damn. Though this seems to bring something to mind.]
—Can you even take your vitamins over here...? [HIS MACHINE.]
[ watching lucas's dokis defuse his brainworms in real time is truly so funny. but scien will nonetheless move to stand, keeping lucas's hand in his. he's just going to leave the puzzle behind apparently
he juts the thumb of his free hand over to the cart full of machines that will be disassembled for parts ]
I've been working on rebuilding it since I arrived. [ no sleep ] Death has your medicine prepared, but I still need mine. A few people have also asked me for favors, so I can finally make strides in answering their requests here.
[HE'S SO STUPID AND HIS HEAD IS SUCH A MESS. He glances at the puzzle like ARE WE NOT GOING TO PUT THAT BACK??]
We should clean up... [Even if it means dismantling four hours of work BUT HE GETS ON HIS CHILDREN'S CASES ALL THE TIME ABOUT CLEANING UP AFTER THEMSELVES.
Glancing over at the parts, though.]
Ah. [Ah. No sleep. Always doing things for other people, tch. ...] ...But you don't have it yet, then...?
We should at least move it so the table is cleared.
[Just scoot it back into the box like a sheet cake... He also looks a little miffed at that even though he was leaning toward making the suggestion himself. HE'S SO STUPID.]
Then we'll go get food. Your pain medication, though...?
[Binch... It's fine he will safely bundle their finished puzzle away, close the lid, and then just TAKE IT WITH HIM. Their puzzle now. He also glances at Scien's hand as he holds his again, but it's a brief look before he moves along. He is truly so easily trained which is either a good or terrible thing depending on context.]
Please do.
[Binch. He thinks briefly about suggesting he just use Nehan's temporarily but decides against it because Scien is Scien, instead placing the puzzle box in his cart.]
[ HE JUST BRINGS THE WHOLE PUZZLE!!! yea that's fair some people frame insane puzzles that they complete so good for him. it's their first date night memento.
he nods ]
I'll come back for this later.
[ so they don't need to give up handholdy on the way to dinner ]
We can eat whatever you'd like... I can eat anything that isn't too greasy.
[He says it lightly because it's a joke but there are so many miscreants running around (it's Karma). But!! He'll just start to move over to the food court which is, at least, right across the way.]
There are plenty of things here that aren't too greasy.

There's a little look of surprise as he's bestowed this greatest gift of (the last melon voice) The Last Puzzle Piece.]
You don't want the honors?
no subject
but he—smiles? a genuinely kind expression that isn't mocking like their banter earlier? ]
I've solved plenty of puzzles as is. If this is your first, then you should enjoy the feeling of completing it with your own hands.
[ gives sincere gift... of puzzle.... he's so stupid ]

It's technically art, now.
[ IT'S NOT JUST PUZZLE! IT'S MONET! why would they ruin it.... ]
It's lower on my list of priorities. [ ofc it is ] But if I get food with you, I don't need the vitamins for now.
[ what about the painkillers, scien? what about those? no? okay ]

once lucas's hand is free again, scien will take it in his tho. handholdy ]
Hmm... I suppose I'll have to finish that tonight then, so I can fulfill your ask.
[ just to keep his word to lucas ]
no subject
Please do.
[Binch. He thinks briefly about suggesting he just use Nehan's temporarily but decides against it because Scien is Scien, instead placing the puzzle box in his cart.]
Shall I lead the way, then?

You aren't worried someone will take your things?
