Marta smelled him before he spoke, so she didn’t react to hearing his voice except to raise her head. She didn’t realize there were tools she could use to code. Sage hadn’t told her, and she had been content to learn it this way. But that probably meant she was farther along than she thought she was.
”I do it this way so I can understand how it works,” she said, her voice calm as she turned to meet his gaze. But maybe she was already understanding how it worked, so using tools would be okay. She was glad he wasn’t going to fix it. He’d rather he show her how to fix it. That way she would understand.
She minimized her screens and pushed the laptop over to him, accepting his help and maybe she was getting this better. Her wallpaper showed one of her cartoons. It was actually the one she had originally drawn for Hayden’s assignment. It showed a four panel story of Nox helping a kitten out of the tree and then getting stuck in the tree himself. She had turned in another one because Nox had lost his power and she wasn’t sure it was appropriate at that time. Since he had gotten better though, she felt more comfortable with sharing it, even if she hadn’t shown anyone yet.
”Okay - go ahead. Show me how to use it too?” she just learned better that way.
