It wasn't as if he was particularly exposed yet to the technology beyond her necklace and what he had seen laying around as far as structure went.

He noted the scowl that she threw in his direction, and he nodded his head slightly - almost absently - to acknowledge that she wasn't going to be heading for any apprenticeships any time soon. She was too into her own thing, and he too expected someone else would annoy or slow her down in her lively explorations. He trusted her to do what needed to be done.
