Sender  falls  asleep  leaning  against  receiver. (William & Abby)

"That's why the competition never lasts too long. They prioritise the easy repairs of a thirty-two movement mech, whereas there's just no replacing the showmanship of a sixty-four movement mech. There's no cheap replacement for love and dedication." He paused, realising he hadn't heard anything back in a little while. He looked down at her, realising she was asleep. There was something about it almost warmed his heart. A paternal instinct that's flame had all but gone out. "I suppose time is getting away from us." He spoke more softly now, slowly getting out of his seat, lowering her gently onto a few pillows and putting his jacket over her. "You may rest while you can. We have a lot of late nights ahead of us."

Sender tucks hair out of receiver’s face. (William & Clara)

"It's getting a little long, I know." He smiled gently, appreciating the gentle contact as she tucked a rogue strand of salt and pepper hair behind his ear. "I'll get it seen to once everything else is in order." Things seemed to be moving forward in the right direction for once. He felt settled and almost happy. "This deal could be a really good thing for us. A new restaurant, a fresh start. Enough room to branch out into a hotel..." He looked up into her eyes. "If it goes through, will you move in with me?"

“Sometimes, I miss that giddy optimism.” (William & Clara)

"Optimism, Clara? A luxury few can afford." William mused, hands busy tinkering with the metallic frame of a small mech that was sat upon the dining room table. "My work, my creations, they're the future. You should feel optimistic." William was noticeably disheveled, so pale he was almost grey. "She may have stolen my prototype, but, I have plans to get it back. You could assist, if you wanted to. Might help you get out of that head of yours. Seems a miserable place."

"Be careful. You just sounded generally concerned for me." (Vanessa & William)

"Vanessa, please. You know I care about you. Despite everything, memories or not, you're still my daughter. I don't want anything bad to happen to you, that's all. The world can be a dangerous place, and I just want you to be cautious. It's not about me. It's about your safety, and that boy has shown time and time again that he's unstable and unwilling to do anything to better himself." William sighed, running a hand through his hair as he inwardly fought with the turmoil that came from Vanessa and Mike continuing to be friends. It was a betrayal. He'd tried to kill him mere months ago. How could she choose him over her own father? "You mean a lot to me, and I'd really rather see you happy and unharmed. Besides, you could do a lot better. You're a little young to be settling."

"I’m going through a highly emotional situation right now and you’re just sitting there mocking me." (Henry & William)

"Only because it's nonsense, old friend." William sneered, hands together,his left thumb gently rubbing the back of his right hand as he took in everything that was going on around him. "You'll have to pardon my lack of enthusiasm. But, the last scruffy looking lunatic that found their way in here put me intensive care." He squinted at Henry, tilting his head slightly to the left as he puzzled over what was going on. "If you plan on trying to kill me also, I do wish you'd hurry up and get on with it. All this whining and carrying on, it's unnecessary. My memory problems make it hard to get invested. Charming, as it all is."

"Be careful. You just sounded generally concerned for me." (Clara & William)

"Come now, Clara, don't be like that." William urged, sighing in disappointed frustration. "I think it's fair to say we both said things we didn't mean. Things we didn't deserve." Although he was willing to take equal blame, he believed she'd said far worse about him than he'd ever said about her. She'd insulted his work, after all. That was unforgivable. "You know I care about you, but, with whatever's going on with my head recently, I'm sure you can understand it's unideal. I do hope you can forgive me if I treated you more harshly than you are used to. But, I do take the accusation of infidelity very seriously." He put his hands together, resting them against his chin as he sat slumped in his chair. "However, if you truly hate me as much as you made out, I shan't force you to stay. But, the separation will be on your terms. For Vanessa's sake."

"Any chance you let me buy you an “I’m sorry” drink?" (Edgar & William)

"That's a new one." William bit his lower lip, brows furrowed, looking over to the other waiting to hear what he had to say. "You're sorry for what exactly?" his mind was racing with all the cruel and unusual ways things could have gone wrong either intentionally or accidentally. He'd never trusted Edgar fully to begin with. So, why did the chance he was about to betray him bother him so much? "The drink can come after. Explanations first, please."

"let’s just grow up, be adults, and die." (Johanna & William)

"Die? What a waste that would be. Of myself, at least. You can plead your own case, I'm sure." William didn't want to die. In fact, he practically refused it. He had so much to offer the world with his genius in engineering, it would be a waste to allow such a light to go out. Despite how downtrodden he'd been of late, he was certain that if he kept pushing, he'd be onto a breakthrough. "You can do as you wish, my dear. But, none of those things have a place in children's entertainment and my business is far too important in the industry to let it go."
