"Yeah, we're working on that part." Alvin knew Penny had done her best to slim down the handle to its limit; any slimmer and it wouldn't be sturdy anymore and that was the whole point of the broom design. He was still open to changing to wood altogether, but Penny seemed determined to get it to work, so he had to support her decision. "Miss Fawcett is very talented, I'm not much use in the creation department anymore," he waved his bad hand as evidence. "But the design aspect is good. Hopefully we can figure it out." It would come eventually; they both needed something positive to come out of this.

Upon hearing Gallivan would be interested in testing a prototype, Alvin sat up a bit straighter. "Yeah? That would be great. I can't test anymore either, so it would be good to get some feedback on somebody who knows what they're talking about." To get some anecdotes from a few people would provide some good insight on anything they needed to fix, of if the design was even worth pursuing into production.
