[So, after a hard morning of adventuring, our heroes are having a much needed rest back at the inns with their prizes. Some people may be busily chatting over the different robot parts that were found scattered across the city, but the turtles have bigger fish to fry.

Literally.

The kitchen of the Sword, Shield, and Spear is a flurry of activity and delicious smells in between Rapunzel flitting about and Mikey and Raph following after her to give basic instructions. The construction of pizza is an art after all.]

It's real easy! I mean—I don't get the dough, but the important thing to remember is dough, sauce, toppings. The dough's just to hold everything else together.

[People who have enough to keep them busy they don't need to have patience jealous. Her dress is entirely hand sewn and there is a ridiculous level of embroidery in it.]

Oh, but it's fun. Have you ever tried?

Never. But you are quite skilled, judging by your embroidery. Lots of leisure time?

Ah... Well, did you think I just sat around for 18 years staring at the wall?

Always possible. Deadly boring, though.

It would have driven me crazy. And we... We might be stuck here a while, so, it never hurts to try your hand at new things.

That depends entirely on the new thing in question. Useful or informative skills, yes. If clothing can be stolen, there's hardly a need for me to learn sewing myself, hmm?

Okay then, what do you do for fun?

[ a beat ]

Beekeeping.

[Perks up, some of her earlier cheer coming back]

You keep bees? What's that like?

[ ... huh. he wasn't quite expecting that. ]

Challenging in a major city. I keep them on the roof, primarily - except for the solitary bee. Anthidium florentium, makes the most beautiful nests out of flower petals.

[Getting excited about new things and having fun learning is infinitely better than being skittish all the time okay LIVE IN THE MOMENT SHERLOCK]

Flower nests sound lovely, that bee has good taste.

[ well it's still surprising ]

If I had my phone, I could show ...

[ .. wait. hang on. he rifles through his pockets suddenly, like he's just remembers something. and draws out a small rectangular object. ]

What's a ph- Oh!

[Coming closer to inspect that]

[ he clicks to the right picture and then holds it out at arm's length for her. also pretend he said Osmia avosetta for the species name earlier. it's making something like this inside a hexagonal box with clear sides. ]

Lovely, isn't she?

[Impressed and delighted]

Yes! Oh, she's so clever, look at her. So this 'phone' captures images?

It's primarily a communication device. The recording feature is secondary.

Communication, how does it do that?

Via wireless signals that are relayed via mobile phone towers. Thus it is useless here for that purpose.

[...I have no idea what you just said...]

[ sigh ]

It ... talks to a large thing that gathers up all the communications, then sends them to the phone you wish to talk to.

[We can't all have fancy 21st Century knowledge okay]

How does it do that? It sounds like magic, but it can't be or you wouldn't- Uh, how does it work?

You would not understand the explanation.

[...rude]

I might.

[ realistic!1 he sighs. ]

Do you know what electricity is?

[Shakes her head]
