You could come by while I'm working later if you want and listen to the radio and keep me company. He's quick to counteroffer. Really, unless she can solder or weld he'd rather do the work himself, but he never turns down friendly company. It might be nice to have her or Caspar or both hang around while he's brewing sometime.

Thank you very much for gloves. Not sure if mine got stolen or Willie hid them.

I'll be there in a few minutes!

And so he is. He's on forearm crutches, but he's wearing one of the spring shirts Alex designed for him and it looks nice on him. Light and comfortable and suitable for the work he does. Willie, running along the ground behind him, is in a yellow dress and has a butterfly barrette in her fur behind each ear. No shoes this morning; evidently her feet are warm enough in this weather. But she's got a little bundle of quince blossoms and bluebells in her mouth and she runs right up to Adia and hops up on her hind legs as if to offer the flowers.

Whatever Cricket's carrying with him is in a backpack on his back, and he looks for a seat out of the way before he starts getting things out, grinning at his Pokemon's antics. "I picked the flowers, for you, but you can give her the credit. She's full of herself, anyway, I think Spring is her favorite."
