[Guess who's up and early to make a delicious breakfast? Eggs, bacon, tomatoes, beans, toast, the works.

Also, going around doing chores for all the ladies.

He might also give you flowers!!

Any lady in distress can ask him for help.]

Howdy ma'am. There anythin' I can do fer ya?

[likeahex]

..........



You can tell me why the hell you're handing me flowers.

[hardhat_truckie]

I just thought it's a nice thing ta do fer ya. Though if ya don't like flowers, s'there anythin' else I can do fer ya? Anythin' that needs fixin'?

[likeahex]

No, I don't think so.

Why are you being so....helpful.

[hardhat_truckie]

I just thought ya deserve a lil' break today.

Well if flowers aren't ya thing, how 'bout a drink or two on me at Olney's? I remember seein' ya there a few times.

[likeahex]

Sure.

[Free drinks are free drinks.]

[hardhat_truckie]

And don't mind them boys at the tavern. They say anythin' to ya, they gotta answer ta me.

[True enough, once they're at Olney's Engie's speaking firmly to any drone male you otherwise thinks that Tex shouldn't be there. He's diplomatic enough to get them out of their way without any fists, thankfully, and when they reach the bar, he turns to her and asks:]

So what'll it be? Ya can order anythin' ya want.

[likeahex]

Or I'll just punch them.

[....ah well. Can't do that.]

Great.

[She'll order a drink then.]

So did you hit your head recently?

[hardhat_truckie]

No, but thank ya kindly fer askin'.

[And true to his word, he pays for her drink.]

[likeahex]

[Right. Suspicious, but hey it's not like she can't see the person making the drink.]

Right.

[getsciencedone]

[Coming downstairs.]

[hardhat_truckie]

[When she's down, there's a delicious American breakfast spread out on the table. Bacons, eggs, chipolatas, toast, pancakes, you name it, it's there. In the background the radio cranks out songs; songs that GlaDOS would know well, considering that they're her favourites. Looks like Engie isn't so daft after all.

The man himself has a giant smile on his face as he holds out a bouquet of flowers to her.]

Mornin'. Hope ya don't mind me makin' ya breakfast.

[getsciencedone]

[She's actually still in a good mood, the music helps. And she'll glance at the table.]

Oh....no. ..thank you?

[hardhat_truckie]

[He's going to pull a chair for her.]

Now don't you worry none today. Jus' let ol'Engie here take care of those nasty house chores. You jus' sit here an' relax. Enjoy the day. Ya deserve it.

[getsciencedone]

.......is this some sort of trick?

[Sits down because she's hungry but looking over at him suspiciously.]

[hardhat_truckie]

Nope.[avi]

Jus' wanted ta show my appreciation fer ya. You're a wonderful and brilliant AI, your turrets are a livin' testament ta that. An' your letters the other day may have saved some poor man's life. An' ya work so hard with the kids at school; I always see ya markin' their test papers. Your dedication ta science is admirable and mighty fine thing ta watch.

[getsciencedone]

......Well science is very important.

[Wait she is so confused.]

....Thank you?
