[ That's a singularly unpleasant sensation realizing that other people all over the Clock might be walking through doors and seeing things from his past. Private things. Cisco hates, hates being spied on. At least a science fair meant it couldn't be anything too embarrassing. ]
there were a lot of science fairs when i was in school. what'd i make?
[ As for Jon's memory, Arya has told Cisco the names of her brothers, but he can't remember which names go with which ages and which gruesome fates. ]
i didn't catch his name. he looked close to your age, kinda beardy, strong brow. you guys hugged, right before you got on your horse?
[at least he didn't see what lady stark said to him when he said goodbye to bran. jon doesn't want cisco's pity, or for him to form a bad impression of sansa and arya's mother. a small comfort.]
thanks it was pretty simple, actually, once you have the right parts. i could whip up something like that in an hour, here.
[ He doesn't mean it to sound like a boast; he just wants Jon to understand that what he made wasn't all that special, by his own world's standards. If Jon hadn't guessed that by how bored everyone was (Cisco remembers them being bored). ]
like i could make you one if you wanted a machine to clean stuff for you
easily i've built a time machine before i'm pretty sure i'm capable of a glorified robot backhoe
[ As soon as Jon suggested it, Cisco was already considering different designs, parts he would need, how to power it, how best to design it not to spook the animals, how to make it easily washable and durable against any kind of corrosion... ]
can i get a look at the stables first so i can decide on what kind of maneuverability we're going to need
i can try to make it operate quietly maybe that'll help or wait will that just freak them out more, like it'll sneak up on them i know literally nothing about horses except arya made me practice riding one once because she seemed to think it was an important life lesson
they exist people just don't use them to get around. we have machines for that people still ride them but it's usually for fun or sports or out in the country i guess
[ Is he even going to try to explain cars? After how badly he had messed it up with Arya, Cisco isn't sure it's really worth trying. But then- ]
💡 ‼️ omg i just had the best idea i should teach you how to ride a bike
[ He's sure that if he wished for a bike, the Clock would deliver, and if Jon is going to see Cisco embarrassing himself trying to learn all this medieval shit, he might as well try to even things out a little bit. ]
[ Or maybe a golf cart or something entirely different for all Cisco knows. It's so difficult when 'horseless carriage' could mean a lot of things. There's an easy solution to at least part of this problem, though, and Cisco sketches out very basic sketch of a bicycle in a few seconds, takes a picture and sends a tik of it to jon with the caption 'this is a bike' ]
it's something people use to get around in my world that's faster than walking and a lot cheaper than a car. or horse. or the bus. or really any other options out there. look i'll see if i can find one and then i'll show you, alright, just gimme ten minutes
