[ Okay, okay. He's still annoyed but this could be way worse. Ruby is someone Ford actually likes, and at least he can be certain she wasn't doing it to be mean. ]
Yes, it was me. Ruby all along! Uh- Sorry, I didn't tell you like sooner. Oz didn't want people to worry and didn't want it to seem like he had a babysitter looking out for him.
Okay. Okay. That's fair. I push you or anything, but I hope you both had a good time. Not like a GOOD time good time. Because gross. Old guys doing their taxes. Yuck. But like ate dinner and enjoyed a conversation or something.
Deets are details. Which I'm guessing you don't want to go into. Which is a-okay!
I had something else to ask you. If you aren't too busy.
[ There's so much Ford wants to know, but you know what? For once he's fine leaving well enough alone. He doesn't want to open up a floodgate of more questions from Ruby, so he'll just get the 'deets' from Ozpin later. ]
[On this day, Ford Pines made the right decision.]
So after everything with the portals I kind of realized that the whole one eye thing isn’t really working for me.
So I’m trying to put together a prosthetic but it’s kind of out of my usual line of work. I was hoping to get some help from you and maybe Varian to help me build it.
I’ve asked Genera Ironwood for some more information on his prosthetics work and I’ve got a Doctor, Shuu the Bird to help with installing it.
Yeah, sorry. Old habit from back at home. Kind of trying to drop the general bit around here.
[Definitely not because she doesn't have a lot of respect for him after abandoning Mantle in his not so distant future. No sir-ee.]
Yeah. I know it's not exactly his line of expertise either, and it's certainly not mine. But if we're following some notes from someone who is like nearly 50% prosthetic I feel like we're probably on the right track.
From what I've seen I couldn't trust a group more to attach something to my face.
Yeah. He looked like a pigeon. Honestly I kind of wish Dr.McCoy was still here but the bird said he was a brain surgeon and I'm working with that I've got here???
Okay. Okay. You can't just lead with that. What IS the strangest doctor you've ever met?
I think I've managed to gather everything up. Ironwood was nice enough to lend me some materials from home too. Hopefully some hard light dust will do the trick for the screen.

[ Did Ozpin tell her? Ford didn't think he was the sort to do that but maybe Ford misjudged him. ]
no subject
Or that she was the one texting him that day.
Whoops. She can fix this! She knows she can.]
Oh my gosh!!! You guys actually followed through!
That’s adorable!!!
I’m so excited for you, Ford!
Oh right. Questions.
Well
I might have had something to do with Ozpin’s texts that day.
He was really sick and I was helping him let people know he was okay.
Might have gave him a little push to get the courage to ask you.
I’m so glad he did!!! :D <3 <3

[ That explains so much. Ugh, now he feels even dumber for even thinking it was actually Ozpin! ]

That's private.
What are 'deets', anyway?

Think you could lend a hand??
no subject
My own experience with prosthetics is rather limited, but between myself and Varian I believe we're capable of creating something suitable for you.
I assume 'Shuu the Bird' indicates that he's literally a bird?

Kind of a crack team of specialists.

Do you already have the materials needed to build the prosthetic, or will we need to find them somewhere else?
