The minute he's out of range, Ell flops face down on the table
"UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
(Can you do Kiki for a hot minute?)
"Thank you-"
She grabs the foot and plops down on the ground going under the table, spreading her legs out in front of her. Her right pant leg is rolled up, revealing her metal leg. The end is a mess of disconnected wires, no foot attached. She starts reaffixing the new one to her leg.
A warning starts filling Ell's retina display but she blinks it away, ignoring it. She finishes attaching the foot and feels it connect to her systems, flexing her toes. She grins
"Yes! Oh thank the stars, this is so much better!"
