-Kubaryi continues explaining Eden's technology to Ron and Lora-
"On Earth, everybody uses metals and electricity to create machines to help you with everyday life. But here, we've mined minerals and metals that creates energy in different ways...". She goes to a circuit board on the rollarcoaster's side, Ron stands next to her and watches as she points out the familiar-looking set-up... Lora listens in too, as Kubaryi explains "As you already now: Metal conducts electricity, wires are made up of these and is a normal occurrence all around Earth. Here, we harvested metals to be the outer casing, but rely more on plasma to conduct it and create energy.", the pilot awed at hearing this "H, how did you get it to be controlled so intricately?! I mean, it's done all the time down there... but you make it sound like you're drawing plasma from thin air?!". She explains "It'll take forever to get into detail, but basically it's like ...inhaling? ...for lack of a better word, rather than gathering it together. Then shaping it into a stone-like form and carving that into what you'd recognize as wires. While it sounds impossible, it's a something that's possible via the alternative way we evolved our technologies up here. Space is a infinite powersource for everything we make.", Ron awed at her... while the concept of artificial and natural-plasma isn't new: how they're using it as a source of energy was borderline insane?? How was this happening, they're pulling raw energy from the skies and using it to power everything there, as opposed to the powerplants and powerlines that's present on Earth. Even in Hyperborea, similar methods are used for the modern devices they copied from the rest of the world.. Kubaryi then says "But you're looking for parts, right? I'm unsure exactly what you need: but there's alot of left over stuff you can borrow..." she walks a foot away and pulls something off her desk... "Here!" she shows him a box of parts as she adds "If the stuff you need isn't here: I have more.".
The pilot then replied "W, wait, how do I pay you? Do you use rupees here?", she tilts her head and says; "You don't hafta pay, especially if it's important: you need plane parts, so I guess you'd be stuck if you don't have them?". Ron sighs as he explains "I can't just take it.. isn't there some way I could earn it?" the maybe too honest-boy didn't feel comfortable with how she offered anything to him without a thought... Kubaryi herself shrugs "Alright... um... you could deliver some milk to the Rose-street? I was going to, but I'll be late since I swamped here..". Ron cheers "Alright!", Lora excitedly chimed "I'll help!". The woman stares at her "Wait a minute... There's something up with you..", the teens both wonder at the Engel's comment, until she explains "You have a circlet on your head... and your stance.. I wouldn't feel comfortable with making you do anything strenuous..". The princess replied "I... I did alot before now, I can handle something this simple!", Kubaryi smiles wryly "I know... I sometimes watched the surface... but, it wouldn't feel right..". Ron smiles wryly too as he looked at her: the feeling sunk in deeper that Lora's stance and mannerism seem to shine through to certain people, they didn't want to treat her as they would everybody else, similar to how she was cared for in the castle... "I want to help too, though. I can't just watch my friends be do it..." she explains. Kubaryi thought... then says "I know!". She walks away, then returns with a box of milk bottles: "You give this to these out..." she says to Ron, he leaves as she holds Lora's hand "And you can help with the records!". The princess is lead to another desk, with papers scattered all over... The Engel explains "All you have to do is copy everything from that stack to that one, except..." she takes most of the papers away... "These... I think these are form months ago... The rest are for this month, so far..". Lora quietly replies "Easy enough... ...", the Engel walks away "Thanks!" she says.
