''Aah we're cool, nothing bad happened in the end.'' He waves dismissively. ''I know Teru can be intense to handle and she must have been stewing for months in the college with nothing to do, I'll just keep the privilege of breaking your balls here and there.''
A lull in the discussion allows your little group to gain significant ground, the dogs are in familiar enough territory to run back into the temple compounds.
''Say, Ambrus.'' He stops, but Lisbeth doesn't, and for a moment, both of you carefully observe the kid walking by herself into the temple. Banu spots her immediately and, after seeing you with her dad amongst the trees, keeps the little lass company. Probably time for her midday nap.
''Good people.'' The man mutter.
''Think you'd fancy a spar in the future? I know Hao would love a good fight, I could use a partner whose intentions don't come clear to me.''
''Sure thing, bud.'' His hand nearly collides with your shoulder, it's your tensing that stops him. ''Sorry... Anyhow, going tavern hunting while rejecting Mamonos advances sounds like the kind of unethical fun I can get behind!''
Well, well. Are you making a friend, Arawn?
''Say, I'm remembering a little somethin' I wanna ask ya, Arawn. About the arm.'' He gestures at your missing limb with his chin. ''Teru's got your problem, I've heard you've picked up a knack with magitek, yeah?''
''I can wield weapons and tools, I'm nowhere near good enough to be an expert.''
''There are prostheses, right?''
''Indeed.'' Belphegor and Martha would be much better placed to answer. ''Corruption interferes with the processes of wielding Magitek equipment but I'm starting to believe otherwise. Martha used an invention during my trouble in the college, something that creates artificial soul links and safely breaks them. Monsters could use it without trouble and of course in Muribel, she was using a gods damned metal armament... no clue what to call it but she was bowling into monstrous formations without trouble.''
''Huh, so the tech might work... See, it takes around four months for an Alraune to organically grow a lost limb. We both know how important the coming ones are gonna be so Teru's not too keen on going sleeping, especially since her healing talents are likely to come in clutch and there are fairies in the forest of the elves, Titania could work as an ambassador...'' He rubs his chin once more. ''... I want her to take the treatment, of course, she's my wife and she lost an arm.''
