''Nah, I'm glad you're here. See, Adam here is much better than me at Magitek, and I was just about to ask... Are you confident with making an arm for a Mamono?''
''It's not easy because of Corruption.'' Adam leans on the table. ''See, gold is a natural conductor of magic, and by combining that with a particular smithing method, you can make steel prostheses that fuse with body and souls without side effects when it comes to humans. Unfortunately, Corruption complicates things because you need a material that resonates somewhat naturally with the specie you're healing.''
''But you can do it.'' You press him, Ambrus reasonable disbelief has him sitting silently, watching.
''Give me a good lab, material plenty of material, and the patient proximity, and I should have something in three weeks.'' He finishes his drink. ''A Mamono close to you needs it?''
''My wife. Arawn, allowed her to use his gauntlet for the past two weeks. She's been handling the strain well enough, though she's often fatigued...''
''That's a good sign. It's the more straightforward side effect to endure, meaning she's compatible with Magitek.'' Adam has a much more confident smile now. He does, indeed, love helping people.
When you'd look back at this night later, it would be easy to recognize this moment sparked a little flame of friendship between three men of widely different backgrounds... And you don't remember anything afterward; everything is a blur after mentioning Teruko's arm.
We return to our choices here.
>>5655688>BonusShould Arawn encourage Adam to pursue a relationship with his companions? Or give them space? This is more of a ''background'' choice that will help me shape the
potential friendship between Arawn, Adam, and potentially Ambrus a little better.
