[Percy doesn't know much about computers, but he understands machines and how they work. Computers, he's starting to figure out, are just machines that have a language, and if you speak that language you can obtain and change the information they store. He listens to her explanation with the look of someone who sees the potential in this, who's working out in his head how he can maybe replicate something like that.
Programming sounds like something right up his alley, frankly.]
I'm honestly impressed you can manage to cram that much onto a tablet and into your eyes. I know you've said these transistors are microscopic, but I'm wondering how it's possible, how many you'd have to make to even have a computer meant to perform a simpler task. [He sounds like someone who is very much putting that on an ever-expanding list of projects to get to.
Anyway. He pauses a moment.]
I have no idea what a phone is. I assume it's something like that tablet of yours? [He feels more than a little out of place here, where everything is so far beyond what even he can make that he's lagging behind. He's not quite comfortable in that position—it makes him feel a lot like he's the Tary of this motley crew.] I'd appreciate the help, though, thank you.
I am thinking about expanding the storage capacity, or at least including less powerful settings. As it stands now, the charge gets used up after one discharge. It's useful in a fight, if someone gets too close to me and I need to get some distance between them and myself, but I didn't create it to be my main weapon. [That's his guns.] A friend of mine enchanted it for me recently, so I could use the charge up for a spell that can silence gunshots. The problem is, once that's gone I'll have to get it charged again, something that will be much more difficult without someone who has a lightning spell to spare.
it's ok i am also an idiot playing a genius
