Ray chuckled lightly and shrugged a shoulder "You can just sit back and relax, if you really feel the need." Ray said with a smile as they entered his little cabin. There were gears, wires, tools, and mechanisms pretty much strewn across every visible surface in Ray's cabin. The microwaves he had mentioned were the most obvious project, sitting on a long table along the wall; there were a total of three but the parts around the other surfaces looked like he could make even more.
"I don't mind helping out where I can, I just don't like..." he rummaged around in a closet, withdrawing a large red plastic box and shoving it aside "When people just expect me to do something, simply because I'm the only competent engineer on the settlement." He finished his sentence and looked up at Riley from his position on the floor "Asking is okay, I'll more than willingly help - but demands or expecting? Nah, I don't do that."
He shook his head ruefully and stood up again, going over to one of the tables that had several cabinets on it, pulling drawers open and withdrawing the things he'd think he would need for the repairs "If there is anything else you can think of that needs repairin', Riley, you should probably tell me about them now..." He hoped there were more things, he wanted to spend more time with Riley, even if it meant having to repair things - he would be okay with that, because he would at least have someone nice to chat with, and definitely nice to look at in the process.
