The Windmill

6: Helewn's Chronicles

I waved goodbye. Got new parts for the Windmill. And meh, it was Farine's day 3. I was at the court. I was welding some blue wires into the blaster toaster, finishing the gun part because Farine's punctual nerdy ass is quite good enough at finishing the wind mechanism so it saved some steam for me. And then I saw Connie. I looked up, put aside my mask and sighed. I jumped on the bench. Connie joined me. I let her cat free and it jumped across the grassy field of the court. 

"Farine's too ambitious, it's getting on my nerves." I said. Connie looked at me. I took out my bloodwort tea flask. Connie dragged it away. I guess she glanced at my stuffs.

"Hel, where did you get all this parts for the gun?" 

I was startled for a moment. Connie knew I wasn't a Movement student. I can't lie much on how much I know about Engineering.

"Farine's spare part hunt." I blurted out. 

"Ambitious flourboy." Connie said and laughed.

"Meh you can't act like you know everything and not doing anything  just because you got Tyler." I said. Connie flinched. Triggered maybe.

"I gave him the updated design, you can't build stuffs without a prior design?" Connie giggled. Bubbly sophomore at best. I facepalmed. Suddenly I saw a large shadow approaching us. I looked up.

"Snail adhesive to cut cost, guys!" Farine let out a little chuckle.

Farine dumped a bucket of snails on Connie.

Revolting flourboy. Get me off this Earth. I stood up from Connie, who was still giggling with Farine. I picked up Connie's research file and opened it. Barely full aside from some bunch of looseleafs and sticky notes.

"Connie, I guess I'll plug in to your file a bit." I said. But nobody had heard me I think, so I just left the court.

I ran through the hallways to the library as it was nearly midnight. Alchemy's library didn't have that much than Engineering's (I don't know, Connie told me). But I guess I'll just do what I could to fill on about the stuff the blaster would shoot. Meh, I myself would say I don't even know precisely. As I was running, I bumped into Angel.

For a brief awkward moment I stared at the lunatic for a while. He looked at Connie's file. 

"Lame people." he deadpanned at me. He tried to grab my file but I kicked him.

"I'll be the one fighting the storm." he said.  I hissed at him and he left. I walked to library and went to librarian counter.

"Another research paper from Engineering. Tyler Quarkton." the librarian said.

I fetched them and left. Can't say Tyler didn't help me so much when he and Connie fought.
