Turtle & Canary; Friday [05/19].

The new Squishy machine was being set up and installed that day, and it turned out that Amaya putting off doing so actually worked out great, because she knew, from having him in a few of her classes before, that Prompto was a bit more mechanically inclined himself. So not only was the shiny new machine, in all its copper piping and very "steampunk chic" aesthetics being hooked up today, but she could go over the changes to the machinery and all of the maintenance and technically stuff about taking care of it, especially if things go pear-shaped, with him as sort of the go-to in-house point person for it. Of course, of course, she was always available if needed, but being able to have Prompto on board with it and feeling confident that she could trust him to do a halfway decent job, well...that sounded pretty great to her.

And pretty great to Prompto, too, who was not only looking forward to working on some more mechanical stuff a bit more, but also was glad to find a good niche for himself around here to be more helpful. If he was their tech and maintenance guy, then maybe Apu would stop being such a jerk to him all the time!

...unlikely, but, hey, a guy could hope, right?

Liz smiled as she read the first text message that came through and then sent back love heart emojis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Then she saw the photos that were sent in the second message.

oh wow, that’s wonderful!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Liz wrote back, you’re going to be amazing at it, that’s great that Amaya is teaching you, do you think the squishy machine will be up and running today?

Sometime in the late morning Steven came by. "Prompto! Hello. How are you?"

"Don't think I've ever had a squishy before," Steven said, after taking a moment to see if the idea jogged anything in his memory. Though the inability to be fully certain was part of why he was there. "And here for something in particular, actually, if you have any. A journal? Something to write down what you've done in a day."

Which of course could be accomplished with a blank notebook, but Steven wasn't ruling out the potential for something more than that if it was available.

Steven followed along. "Yeah. Hoping it might help keep track of what I've done in a day? Not just scheduled things but memories."

"I've been taking pictures as well," Steven said. He felt extra proud of having done so now that Prompto had mentioned it. Of course arguably Prompto had a bias towards photography but still. "Course that requires remembering to do it. Sometimes I don't think to do it until it's too late."

Like with his lunch for Llewellyn last week which hadn't remained photo worthy after the journey to the station.

"I've been using my mobile," Steven said. "Usually have that with me. Maybe I should make a goal to try to help me remember? Take a certain number of photos each day or something?"

Steven was asking since Prompto taught classes in photography, he figured perhaps Prompto might have ideas on whether Steven was on the right track.
