Beetee squints under his glasses at the stack of wood, trying to figure out which block to choose. Wiress has always been much better at this game than him. It's frustrating.
Finally, he chooses one and slides it out carefully, one eye narrowed in concentration. The block is placed on top and he sits back with an expression of satisfaction. "Your turn."
He nods slightly, back to concentrating on the game. One finger moves slowly and methodically up and down the stack of wood, not quite touching it. This is difficult. Difficult and frustrating.
"You could find something to make for people here, I suppose...to keep your mind occupied."
He's sitting at the bar, absently tracing the woodgrain with the tip of his finger as he lingers over a cup of coffee -- but the game quickly draws Hoshi's attention.
Trying not to be rude, he leans sideways on his barstool, hoping to get a better look.
Of course, when Wiress notices, Beetee notices her noticing. It's unavoidable. He glances over as well and blushes faintly; he's never been entirely comfortable with being watched, ironically enough.
[ooc: hi! and that posting order works for me, absolutely.]
He winces a little.
"Sorry," Hoshi calls over, and the sincerity of his apology's clear in his tone. "I didn't mean to interrupt, just -- I've never seen something like that before."

"It's weird not having anything left to work on," she murmured, sliding another block out, and reaching up to place it on the top.
"I feel..." Weird. Strange.
Lost in my head.

"But I also think...maybe...I should get used to the space. A little?"
It might be a good idea. Her brain will get filled up and their time will get filled up again before she knows it.

Wiress' concentration breaks for a moment while she's studying the structure. She can usually tell when they've caught someone's attention.
Her eyes flick over momentarily, and then back to the structure, looking thoughtful.
