Sokka takes a moment to grin proudly at having picked it up. There definitely had been a few moments of insecurity and worry that he had tried to bite off more than he could chew; this was more advanced than anything he'd engineered before. But he had come through it, and all in one piece; Sokka swallows visibly, as if to swallow the tension that had welled up within him as he'd faced the challenge.]
Oh goodie, more complicated, [he says in reaction to the more complicated schematic, but he's not going to give up as easily as his mood. He still takes the parts rather eagerly and takes the schematic, finding a good starting point. It's complex, but he quickly sees that... really, the complexity is only in the sense of scale, not the actual depth of the pieces.]
Oooooh, I got it! [He works through one full section, completely assembling the entirety of one of the subsystems.] This piece is effectively just a miniature version of that one other. Well more or less; this one has a two-way transmitter, and there's more power to it, right?
[At least, that's what he thinks he's looking at. But Sokka takes the tools and continues assembling them, finally getting a good eye for how they piece together. He'll alternate between squinting at the schematic and then piecing things together, all the while having a rather ridiculous expression of his tongue sticking out his mouth as he works.]
So... just out of curiosity, how complicated is this stuff in comparison to the rest of the stuff from your world.
