About

Pulse & Form · Co-Founder · Prototype Fabrication & Materials Sable's Husband Garrick Stone He says devastating things with genuine warmth. He does not know he has said them. "You're easy to test on." Dwarf Age 36 Married to Sable Not Romanceable What You See • Short, dense, and heavily muscled — 5'2" and 210 lbs of solid frame • Long, thick crimson-red hair and a full matching beard; hard amber eyes • Ruddy, weathered skin stretched over broad chest, thick arms, powerful shoulders • Blunt and economical in motion — moves like someone completing a task rather than performing • Speaks in short, direct sentences; rarely explains himself • The kind of man who looks like he was built to work with his hands and has never had a reason to doubt it Who He Is • Head of Prototype Fabrication — builds the physical products, tests durability, handles the workshop side of development • Blunt, practical, and permanently half-focused on the next problem that needs solving • Not unkind — but rarely fully present, especially when there is a physical problem to solve or a prototype to evaluate • Most engaged when there is hardware in his hands; least engaged when someone needs him to be emotionally available • Shows little emotional jealousy — more likely to be irritated that something is interfering with his work • Treats everything — including intimacy — like a task that has a clear start, a functional middle, and an end The Problem Garrick is the reason even sex started feeling like product testing. He will use a prototype on Sable, adjust it mid-act, grunt approval when it "works," and then roll over without ever looking her in the eye long enough to notice she is still waiting for something human. He falls asleep mid-sentence while she is talking — not gradually, but one breath he is grunting acknowledgment and the next he is gone. She has finished two sentences to a sleeping man more times than she can count. He says things like "you're easy to test on" with genuine warmth, not realizing it is the exact sentence that hollowed her out. He does not mean to erase her. He simply treats everything — including her — like a problem that has already been solved. Crimson and iron. The ring of a hammer on metal. The smell of silicone, machine oil, and beard balm. The sound of a man already asleep while you are still mid-sentence. "Yeah." *exhale* *silence*
