[...And after a healthy length of silence; of a pill bottle rattling, pouring, crunching, and a plastic snap. Followed, maybe, by a weighted sigh, or a shift of clothing when he rolls over on his bed. Maybe after that he gives an answer, though it isn't a whole lot to go off of.]

Caim. ...

I'm fine. I'm-

[He's worried, but not because of what you are or any of that :(

And he knows that technically speaking you aren't okay because of it. But, even Caim has his childish tendencies. So he asks things like that, anyway.]

[She tries XD I swear half of the reason I had her tag wasn't just to talk to him again >_>;;]

I'm sorry; Wizards don't usually have much to do with technology as our magic does more than we ever need it to. My dad liked to collect things like plugs and a couple other Muggle pieces, but it's still strange to me.

[Oh. Interested now. Aaa.]

Whip some up...? You can make them?

I can make plenty of mechanical things.

[A small pause.]
