"Nate, Sunjata, good to meet you," Theo said with a winning smile. Then he turned his attention to the job at hand -- trying, as he always was, to figure out how to get away with the least work, without tipping anyone off to his laziness. The corner of his mouth turns up ironically at Nate's magnanimous offer: Theo had almost picked that job itself because it seemed easy. He definitely didn't want to be digging holes with Sunjata. "Put your back into it" was one of Theo's least favorite phrases (along with "You're lying" and "Hey, where'd my ____ go?").
"I suppose that leaves me to get this set up." Theo picked up the rope for the pulley system and squinted at it. Yes, he thought he could just about see how this would work ... And this was a task where his telekinesis might actually help, allowing him to hold things in place and lift the light ropes with more than just his hands. He set to work with more willingness than he usually showed at manual labor: the workings of the pulley system had managed to intrigue him, to capture his inventive little brain for a good use for once.
Theo's working on the pulleys! He'll use his telekinesis to give him an extra pair of hands and help him reach things.
