Excitable as a puppy. It's hard to contain him sometimes.
[ Sorry Clive this is father daughter bonding via affectionate bullying. ]
I know, I know... Go on, spread your wings and all of that. I'd just like to see your face again every once in a while, is all. You stay away much longer and I'm keen to forget what you look like.
And anyway... I'm working on something special. I could use a hand from my dearest daughter.
oh don't give me that! you're not THAT old yet, are ya?? you've got at least a few good years of rememberin my face left in ya!! and if you don't, well, i reckon i could come up with somethin to help.
[ maybe she can invent something to help him remember. she'll put that on her to-do list. ]
wait, what do you mean somethin special? what is it??
[ Cid starts writing: I'll start with the handcuffs and we can work our way up. Stares at it. Deletes it immediately. ]
I'll think about it.
[ He'll never have to know. ]
Midadol sweetheart, I think you're over-engineering this particular problem. You're right — I couldn't forget your face if I wanted to. But it would still be nice to see it, eh? Don't get any ideas about sending me a clockwork daughter to dote on.
Let's just call this a surprise. I'll give you a hint:
I can be hot or cold. I can run and be still. I can be hard and soft. What am I?
that's not a bad idea, but it's too obvious. i'd go further than that.
[ how far? only mid knows. ]
all right, all right, you'll get to see it. sooner rather than later, since classes'll be up soon. then i'll have a little time before the internship, yeah?
and i'll have plenty of time to wonder what it is you're doin with water on the way there. [ yeah she figured it out, easy. ] a filtration device, maybe?
[ it's the most obvious thing they'd need, after all. ]
i'll have a prototype whipped up just for you! you better be ready for it!
you could stand to have a fraction of my brain, sure. maybe if you came out here to kanver you wouldn't have to miss my face so much. [ imagine being students! together! ] buuuut that might cause a little more excitement than anyone'd be ready for.

Not that Clive's input hasn't been very valuable.

And here I thought I was getting better at these riddles. This is why I need that big brain of yours.
Send a stolas when you're on your way, alright?
