[ Jack nods, and he starts to open his mouth to explain, but it closes again quickly enough. There's a moment where he stares at her, and by that natural intensity in his gaze, it seems like he might deny the request. But he steps back and heads up the ladder, nodding for her to follow along. ]
Yeah, I've got time. You want coffee?
[ It's more for himself in this case, but since he'll be requesting it, might as well ask.
Once they make it up to his room, it's at least clearly apparent what Jack was working on so late. Sitting on his desk is a familiar silver arm, but it's as if Jack is performing a surgery on it. It's torn open with care, but instead of muscle and sinew underneath, there are wires and cables, some of which Jack has pulled out carefully. There's an assortment of the tools laid out on the desk, all just small things like screwdrivers and wires, but of the most interest is probably an unassuming box that seems to be plugged into Jack's datapad via a crudely made cable.
Jack heads over to his desk and pulls out the glasses to set them on top, but after that, he heads to the food dispensary or whatever to get his coffee (and potentially hers). ]
