Newfangled, [ Gabe mutters. Problem is, it isn't. He knows how to wrangle 3D printers and touch screens and while this one's not exactly the kind he knew back home, the principal is close enough. If his tech was synched up, he could probably use it just fine.
Only, it's not. And he can't. Frustration twists hot in his throat but he swallows it down, turns and tips his head back to angle himself like he's watching the other man. Like his eyes still track the old fashioned way.
His prosthetics are good. If he mimes everything just right and doesn't hesitate, bulldozes through conversations and interactions and those itty bitty little moments people throw at each other when they meet the first time, then the average stranger on the street doesn't tend to notice. But this isn't exactly a regular situation, is it? ]

Well, it's stumping me. You wanna give it a go?
