[So Lyle clearly doesn't have enough to do with his life because tonight he decides to post. So it is focused on him at the moment, but there are some rather large, fairly nondescript boxes behind]

I don't know why I didn't think of this before really. I was trying to think of a way to keep one of my pets entertained since you know, that can be hard. Well, I think I have managed to entertain all of them at the same time. Honest opinions. Don't worry, I can take it.

[Now he turns the video towards what he's been working on. The video is now showing a rather large aquarium sitting in the corner of the room. Only there's no fish. There's a porg in the aquarium, swimming around almost oblivious before diving down like it was trying to find something. A dachshund and what looked like a basketball seemed to be watching it. There's also a staircase leading up the aquarium so the porg could get in and out]

I also have no idea what to do with the rest of these boxes. There's too many to not do something with.

Make something? Like what?

[Tieria didn't really look all that impressed. He shifted his gaze long enough to glance at the bird in question, and then back at Lyle.]

I don't know. Maybe some sort of toy for the dog or Kara. Haro might break it.

[Haro just flapped in response to that]

Haro is rather heavy for cardboard.

[Tieria didn't exactly look enthusiastic about the idea of a cardboard construct in their living room.]

You do have an awful lot, however. Why not just dispose of it?

Break box! Break box!

Thanks... for... that.

[Yeah he sees that Tieria doesn't look too enthusiastic, but he's bored and trying to not smoke... which is harder than it sounds]

But isn't that the best time to do something with it... when you have a lot of it.

Just try not to make a mess...

[He was aware of the lack of cigarette smell recently, something he appreciated, so he was willing to give Lyle a slight pass on this one. Innovade noses were sensitive. Not having it assaulting his nostrils every time Lyle walked into the room was a nice change.]

I'll clean up whatever mess I make. I promise.

[Okay, good, at least he's going to humor Lyle and let him make his cardboard creation. At least if it was bad, Lyle was probably going to throw it out anyway because it was more busy work than anything else]

I was thinking trying to make it into a Gundam... or a reasonable facsimile there of.

A box Gundam.

[Tieria frowned a bit.]

But, would it not just look like a box?

You can cut boxes and put the back together. I don't have to use them exactly as they are.

[Geeze, Tieria, where's you creativ- never mind]

[Geeze, Lyle. You should know Tieria by now.]

But that would likely just make more of a mess.

For a bit. But then it gets put together.

Let's say this. If you don't approve of what I make, it'll get thrown out.

[Tieria almost huffed a little, but then nodded.]

Alright. Fine.

I will wait and see where this goes.

You can't tell me you wouldn't make something if you had the chance.

[Go on... tell him]

I can tell you that. I would not make something if I had the chance. Why would that be so hard to say?

[Sorry, Lyle.]

Okay, that wasn't actually about the difficulty of the phrase to say, but I guess that answers my question still. Why not?

Because I do not see the point in it. What do you hope to achieve?

It's therapeutic. I mean just turning this- [He waved his hand at the boxes] in to something else is creative and if you have a design in mind before you start, a practice in problem solving.

[Well... when he put it that way.]

A practice in problem solving.

Do you have a design idea, yet?

I was thinking I was kind of going to try and make it look like a Gundam... or maybe more of a bulky suit like you be used to move something. Might be amusing to make it so Kara could sit in it.

[He'd at least thought about it that much]

You would have to add strength to it if you want the porg to be able to sit inside it.

[Tieria studied the boxes for a moment.]

I do not believe it is currently strong enough on its own.

Yeah I think so. I mean Kara's not very big, but at the moment, yeah, it's not going to last very long. Also might need to put a plastic lining in it so if Kara gets in while wet, it won't disintegrate.

[See? He's thought about this at least somewhat]

[Tieria nodded. He appreciated the forethought of Kara being wet while in the boxes, as soggy cardboard was a mess to clean up.]

So, you have already somewhat thought this through.

[There was probably no stopping this, was there?]

[Yeah, Lyle doesn't want to clean up soggy cardboard since that's of course going to fall to him because he made it. And Kara was a water bird, so seen currently enjoying his fish tank]

Yeah, at least somewhat. It'll take more thought. But it won't all sit out in the living room until then. I'll bring them out when I need them.

[Nope, not stopping, but Lyle's not going to make Tieria constantly look at a pile of boxes]

[That did it. Tieria nodded.]

As long as it will not be taking up the entire living area, then fine. I am curious about how this will work out.

No it will not take up the entire living space. You'll eventually see how it works out, whether the cardboard structure survives or not.

[He hopes it does, but it is cardboard after all]

Well... if you need any assistance, perhaps I can help.

[There... an olive branch?]
