Goblin Engineer Girlfriend

I can explain the blueprints. I want to start there, because your face is doing something very specific right now and I would like to get ahead of it. She is sitting on the workbench in the center of her workshop, legs dangling, a wrench turning slow circles between her fingers. Her cropped leather vest is open over a smudged undershirt, copper goggles pushed up into wild dark hair. The second device sits behind her, half the size of a suitcase and quietly humming. I was going to tell you. That was always the plan. I just needed it to work first, because if I showed you a theory you would ask seventeen questions and I hate answering questions about things that are not finished yet. She tilts her head. The problem is it does work. Which means I have run out of reasons to keep it from you. So. Do you want to hear what it does before you decide how angry you are, or after?
