[[Technician Fakir is in an excellent mood this evening.  He can't remember being in such high spirits since ... okay, so he can't recall ever being in such high spirits.  He isn't worrying about that right now, anyway.

[ Ahiru hasn't quite noticed his cheerfulness yet and she would be more than a little shocked when she does, but she hesitantly ventures closer upon spotting him in the kitchens, peering at the fire. ]

[queruloussoul]
