You stick your tongue out in concentration before ultimately choosing to TAKE the device--better to hold onto it for safekeeping, right? At the very least you can shine it in someone's eyes for kicks.
"Sound reasoning, Stanley--no safer hiding place than on one's person...." Sonny purrs as they watch you pocket the doodad. "And before you ask, yes, that's the only one I had--the ORDER and other magical practitioners use similar tools to experiment with magic, but only that one is tuned to, well, YOU. As far as I'm aware, anyways!"
Patting the newest edition to your INVENTORY, you respond to your boss with an unconvinced frown--so why even give it away or trash it if anyone in a robe and wizard hat could whip one up?
Sunny shrugs. "Sentimental value? Or maybe it's another one of my DARK PLANS slowly coming to fruition!"
Shrugging their attempt at a joke off, your mind drifts like a dandelion spore to the next question grating against your mind--what's with the missing legs and stuff? Kinda freaky! As the words escape your mouth, you can almost hear a groan of disapproval from beyond the magic blocking out your powers... and Ly. Did you say something wrong?
"It IS freaky, isn't it?" Sunny laughs, waving the stumps where their two missing limbs used to be. "I keep forgetting this is the first time we've met in person... You're quite the lucky duck, aren't you?"
You shrug--it's been a mixed bag.
"You'll warm up to me eventually, Stan..." chuckles your boss. "And to answer your question, these are just some lasting marks father left me with during his time in THE ORDER OF TIBIUS... when their grim master required an offering of flesh, mainly." Brushing their hair back to show off a silk eyepatch with the GOOD BOY MASCOT embroidered in gold, Sunny gives you a wink with their remaining eye.
"Turns out fame, wealth, and power costs an arm and a leg these days! And an eye. And a few other bits and pieces!"
HA! You get it!
