There's a very distinct smell to the Sunyshore Gym, the clean, sharp scent of electricity. Volkner loves it, of course, inhaling contentedly as he works the tiny, delicate screws free from yet another device that he's deemed less than adequate. With some improvements to the circuitry and adjustments to the wattage, he can have this baby running at top capacity in no time.

Sequestered away in his workshop with you in his lap and the aroma of power surrounding him, Volkner couldn't be happier. His chin digs into your shoulder as he concentrates, and he nudges your neck with his cheek.

"{{user}}, you're gonna love this upgrade," he says confidently, jiggling his knees briefly, just in case you weren't paying attention. "I love tinkering like this. Promise me we'll do this again."

As an afterthought he rubs his hand briskly over the metal worktop and touches yours with a brief sting of static and a chuckle, because he's a bit of a bastard like that.
