[For the first time in a very long time, Oscar Pine was in his element.
Raised on a farm and granted the time to hone his skills, what he lacked in actual combat capacity he made up for with his brain for plans, mechanical workings, and numbers. The stable where the cows and his horse named Shortcake lived was his primary workspace. It was familiar, and he had hidden some drafting supplies amid the horse tack for when he just wanted to sketch out a few plans with the animals as company.
Once equipped with his basic tools, he set about helping with the drafting. Naturally, he would defer to people with more experience, but he didn't spend the train ride to Argus reading tech manuals for nothing.
Once drafting was completed, he could be found fussing over plans for the kitchen. He welcomed other people getting involved, but he wanted to double check and make sure that Ruby hadn't snuck any explosive surprises into the details. Overall, he also wanted to make sure that it was Ruby and Ange Proof.
Shadowing him the whole time is the large black stallion he had met early on during his stay in the Dream. Shortcake, as the horse was affectionately dubbed, shadowed Oscar the whole time-- either right by his shoulder or staring balefully from afar. It was as if the beast had made it his objective to protect the farmlad from further danger, and its ominous aura certainly had a way of fending off anyone with ill intent.
Even if it meant drawing curious eyes in exchange.]
