[It's been harder and harder to keep morale up, things being as they are, but after their little talk after the trial about the possibility of getting out...well. It gives Ford something to focus on, at the very least. Something to feel proactive about. And goodness knows he needs that, or he'll feel like he's stifling. Decaying.
But this? Trying to build something, anything? That he can do. He hauls all the various items he's been able to scavenge from around the house and from its other inhabitants into the study and spread them out, sorted into piles according to object type and usefulness. He's also pilfered some basic tools—wrench, hammer, screwdriver, pliers—and set them on a side table for easy reach. There's also a bucket full of various types of household cleaners, because, well. He's always been a sort of a mad scientist, and he figures if nothing else he can probably hack together a pipe bomb if he needs to. Feel free to bother him while he works, just don't be upset if he accidentally blows something up while you're there.
Later on in the evening, he makes a pit stop in the kitchen before seeking out Lefou. When he finds the younger man, he leans in conspiratorially.]
Have you got a moment? I've got something for you.
