His whiskers twitched having some bits of metal organized in a certain way on his small wooden table with blueprints held onto the wall by some tacks. He paced around a bit as he continued to stare at the blueprints with a small frown "I need to find a way to melt these metals and I need to make a dummy of sorts to hold it together, mold it. . . Hmm," He had a pencil nestled behind one of his ears only to pull it off with a paw and start scribbling a few more things on the blueprint trying to figure out what he would need to make said dummy. "Wood, wool or a sack of sorts, and maybe some stuffing so I can actually structure it and fit it to be my size." The former Visionary would trot away from the blueprints plucking some books off from the ground and opening one up to skim it over with his eyes letting out a soft breath, he gave a small shake of his cranium trying to think. His mind was clustered with several worries and well, just when you'd think he was thinking of the "love" of his life, he was actually thinking about Killua. The serval was like a son to him to seeing him hurt himself, even if it hadn't been on purpose, was still enough to startle the tiger.

He threw the book to the side going back towards the blueprint and the pieces of metal, he stared down at his reflection looking over the scar on his muzzle and his shredded ear that was once curved. He brought up one of his paws to the arc reactor on his chest letting out a soft breath, he shook his head a bit "God. . . I wish I could be strong enough to carry the world on my shoulders. . . I wasn't even strong enough to carry a huge building or hold it off," A bitter smile faintly appeared on his ebony hued lips, he stared down at his paws with his ears pinned against his cranium wishing he had been strong for everyone else when he had led his clan. He could have been the leader that everyone had wanted but his leadership had blocked out the importance of his own family, how his son had feared for being half-blooded and when he had seen Stark attacking or punishing his clanmates seemed to be enough to make his own child terrified of him. His gaze became watery and glazed with a flurry of unknown emotions, he had never had a father in his life and he had done the same with his own kids. He didn't want that happening again if he ever had kids again, he wouldn't be able to live with himself. This was his chance at a new start.

"I promise to be there,"

He uttered silently under his breath and his claws dug into the ground underneath him, feeling the muscles on his snout scrunching up as he gritted his teeth "Stark Ferro isn't mucking this up again," He stared down at the pieces of metal once more saying in a less audible voice "We aren't mucking this up again." His eyes dimmed for a moment before he proceeded to scribble a few more things onto his blueprint only to roll it up afterwards and hide it underneath his nest, he made sure none of it was visible. He eventually stepped back from it and started picking up the novels on the floor and glanced at each muttering something under his breath. Most of the books having something to do with science; Darwin's theory of evolution, Newton's law of motion, and Galileo's inquisition or whatnot. He had more, of course, but these were the ones that were currently cluttered with tiny slivers of paper as if bookmarking places that Stark was currently studying or reading about. If Stark had a religion or was a religious man then his religion was definitely science.
