[It definitely did look a lot less dramatic, but what can you do. Hijikata nods in agreement with Robotnik's assessment.]
That makes sense, yeah. I'll leave you to it, then! You don't need to keep me updated, just tell me if you need anything - more parts, more funds -, and otherwise let me know when it's in a state you're happy to release for copying. I'll make the arrangements for that in the meantime, but don't feel rushed. There's no deadline.
[He says that like Robotnik isn't calling the shots on the time frame here anyway.]
Alright. Make sure to let me know if it can be copied as is so I know whether I should invest any time in the materials to make more or not.
[But copying the thing should certainly save on funds in the first place, so as much as he likes to build things himself... it's far more efficient this way.
And he can maybe work on getting himself a whole lab rather than working out of his apartment.]
I don't expect this to take too long. The more complicated processes are finished. Just need to finalize it. It shouldn't be too much of a wait.
[He looks at the two drones once more. They have enough plans and contingency plans for when Robotnik is done with the new model (Plan A: engage magical help, Plan B: clone the drone in small sets via copycat charms, Plan C: if all copy attempts fail, continue traditional production), so Hijikata is content.]
I there's anything going awry at all you know how to reach me.
[Despite his absolute minimum amount of actual controls testing he's happy to leave Robotnik to his work now. While he has no qualms about subjecting introverted inventors to his important matters he also knows first-hand that people need some breathing room to get actual work done... unless they're slackers like his goddamned subordinate back home.]
[It's going as well as it can when he doesn't have most of his machines and he doesn't have any kind of "proper" lab. He has no doubt he's going to get this done, whether he has to make one or he has to make a hundred.
Either way, he's down for the task.]
If you find any other interesting parts for any reason, feel free to drop them off. Just, you know, try to avoid any unpleasant times for it.

I'll work on my timing. If anything fancy falls into my hands I'll bring it over at the start or end of the month.
[With a contented nod he'll be off, then. Now he needs to get a hold of the magical boy.]

[He offers a nod, then moves to get back to work. There's a drone that needs to be perfected, after all.]
