Eric was particularly skilled at robotics. Despite his scientific leanings, he didn't have much of a head for straight-up mathematics, finding calculator apps sufficient for his purposes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misunderstandings (short story)|Misunderstandings]]'') | |||

After he successfully repaired the device with [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]]'s help, they shared some pastrami sandwiches from [[Morrie Greenberg]]'s and said their goodbyes. Before leaving, Genevieve repaid Eric with a large gold coin. Kime offered to help Eric translate that gold into modern money and to take him to the hardware store so that he could spend these “wages” on new equipment and parts. She explained that she was already all set to sell some gold, as she had to make something of a chest of pirate gold Jenny had brought back from a recent adventure. Before they could do so, an [[Angel]] appeared with much fracas in the very same parking lot, heralding yet another crazy adventure.

Some time later, Eric got into an argument at school with [[Judy (Misunderstandings)|Judy]], a girl with whom he'd become somewhat acquainted, because she wanted to put together a robotics project. Eric felt mildly jealous that she was getting into his own area of expertise, and also tried to dissuade her by telling her that as he was a mad scientist while she was just “an ordinary smart person”, he had a natural advantage and it would be unfair of him to let her try and fail to beat him — something which, obviously, she did not take very well. Going home, Eric tried to talk about it with [[Eric's mother|his Mom]], who mistakenly assumed, upon hearing that Judy was a girl, that Eric had some kind of romantic interest in her. Their talking at cross purposes did nothing for Eric's mood and he dropped in on Jenny and Kim, only for them to make the same mistake, delivering to him a long and rambling collection of dating advice. After the women realised their mistakes, however, Kim agreed to help Eric with his math homework. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misunderstandings (short story)|Misunderstandings]]'') | |||
