Nik snorted from his work bench. "You didn't have to hurt yourself to get here. Not like I was going to send Brick after you or anything," he said mildly. Brick was chained up to a side wall and he lay curled up in a large dog basket two blac gator cats sleeping across him.

"Yes, well, I like to keep my promises," Tabitha said, getting to her feet, if a little shakily. "And I promised I would be here on time." She rubbed the growing bump on her head and winced.
"So, what do you want me to do?" she asked cheerfully, ignoring the throbbing pain in her skull.

"My office is right through there," he said pointing. "You said you were good at organizing things. See what you can make of it," he said mildly and leaned against the work table.

"Alright!" Tabitha said enthusiastically, going over to the door. Opening it, it was a mess. Papers, tools, and general junk were strewn everywhere. A large pile of papers in the middle of the room indicated what might be a desk buried underneath. Tabitha stared at it for a moment, then a nasty glint appeared in her eye. A wolfish smile spread across her face.
"Kekekekeke....."

"Maybe Brick was right. This might turn out bad," Nik said as he heard the manic cackling coming from his office.

For the next two hours there was a constant sound of papers being shuffled, metal parts being moved, and every once in a while a loud clunk as Tabitha moved a large box or a piece of furniture. Sometimes she would talk to herself, mostly inaudible, though a few times she cursed quite loudly as some particularly difficult task began to frustrate her. The curse would be quickly followed by a loud apology, and then she would get back to work.
"You wouldn't happen to have any sort of cleaner, would you?" she asked as she emerged suddenly from the office. Her hair had been pulled back into a messy ponytail and she looked rather sweaty and tired.

"Aye," Nik said and got up from his table where he was working on a machine of some weird design, it looked a lot like a spidery robotic arm and hand. He moved about his seemingly disorganized shop for a moment before pulling a spray bottle out of the cupboard. "Here," he said and handed it to her before sitting back down at his table and taking up his sauntering gun again.

"Thank you!" Tabitha said cheerfully, and dived back into the office. Half an hour later there was a commotion from inside of furniture being shuffled around. Shortly after, Tabitha came out. She opened her mouth to ask Nik a question, then decided against it. She could find what she was looking for by herself, and he looked preoccupied with what he was working on.
After several minutes of searching, she had found what she was looking for- a bucket, a mop, and some soap. After filling the bucket halfway with water, she disappeared into the office again, and started on washing the floor.
"It'll take a little bit for it to dry, is there anything else you want me to clean?" she asked Nik, coming out of the office a while later and carrying the bucket and mop.

Nik pulled himself away from his work and turned to her. He propped his head up on his fist, "That took a lot less time then I thought it would take you," he said mildly. "And no, you're free to go. I can't stand anyone else touching my tools or work," he informed her as Shadow crept over to him seeking attention. He gave the gator-cat a loving scratch under the chin and the cat purred in delight.

"Well, I'm not totally finished yet, I still have to put everything back in it's place. Also, I happened to glance at your account books- they were sprawled open, I'm sorry if I wasn't supposed to look- and well, they seem a little disorganized. And you had a lot missing with all the rest of the papers. I could put those in order, if you want. It wouldn't be any trouble." She gave him a rather apprehensive smile.

Nik shrugged, "If you want. I don't mind. My books are the least of my worries," he said and stroked Shadow's back who had jumped onto his lap.

"OHMYGOSH, YAY!" Tabitha squealed. She blushed suddenly, and got a hold of herself. "Umm, sorry," she said, and gave a small, awkward laugh. She checked the office floor- still wet.
"So... Um, what are you working on?" she asked him, looking at the machine on the table.

"A robot," Nik said bordly.

"Really? That's so cool!" Tabitha said interestingly, peering at the robot on the table. "Is it broken or are you just making it?"

"Repairing a broken arm, which I'll reattach when its done," Nik explained. "My... girlfriend made it, I'm fixing it since she isn't here to do it," he said mournfully.
