[ Reynir sighs, an understanding sort of a sound. Peter's concerns aren't baseless, after all. Sometimes, there is just a certain amount of work to be done, and it needs to get done. Even if your hands are sore. Even if it's cold and raining and has been all week. Even if you feel so sad you can barely move. Reynir knows sometimes you just have to keep going.

But is this really one of those situations? Peter had said, after all, that things aren't so dire just yet. The robots haven't gone offline, they are just busy. In theory, that preoccupation will end. Maybe soon. ]

How about we make a deal? You... give me a list of things I can watch out for... apart from obvious stuff like fire, and I can leave the rest of the trash for tomorrow, and keep an eye on things for you. That way, you can take the rest of the day to rest and to see her, and I will tell you if you're urgently needed.

[ Reynir waits for Peter to look at him, wanting him to know that he's making this offer seriously, that he intends to work hard and cover for Peter as well as he can. ]

It's important to find time to spend with the people that matter.

[ Reynir is thinking about Tuuri, now, and a tinge of sadness has crept into his tone. He would've spent more time with her, if he'd known how soon she would be gone for good. ]
