Okay, okay. I was just giving you the option. I mean, maybe that's the sort of thing you'd be interested in, I dunno. But fiiiine, no bombs or swords.
...
Of course I can. I wouldn't have offered if I couldn't. Putting in a mechanism to let you be able to spring out a weapon when you need would be relatively easy.
Seriously?! [You ever just feel a sense of wonder you haven't since you were 11 watching anime and realize it leaked into your tone so much you fumble the phone in your one hand?
Ragna's just asking for a friend. Named Ragna. It's him.
Okay, be COOL about it Ragna. For fuck's sake you can't let the kid know you have a deep rooted sense of whimsy.]
I-I meannnn. Well, I told you I've got a good sword already and... I dunno shit about guns, never really liked 'em. What other shit could you possibly add to a prosthetic arm?
[if he plays it off he won't let the excited out again.]
[While Ragna's trying his very best to cover up his whimsy with his Cool Dude attitude, Varian has a rare moment of perception and absolutely picks up on it (16). He does his best to not sound as amused as he is when he responds. He's probably not doing a great job of that, though. That's adorable. ]
You never know when you need another emergency sword! Like if your sword is suddenly taken away from you, surprise!!! you have a second sword the person you're fighting didn't know about!
[ No one expects a SURPRISE SWORD, Ragna! ]
Anyway, I can add just about anything you can think of. Can openers, flashlights, knitting needles. I'm not so good with computers so nothing like that, but practical stuff? I'd be willing to give anything a try.
Well, the arm one wouldn't be huge. It would just be a backup!
[ But he hears that Ragna!! He hears that! Varian thinks this is all pretty cool regardless, but he'll be merciful and not push the other man to make a decision right now. ]
Of course! It's a big thing to think about, just let me know in a couple days before I start getting the shell of it done.

[Goddammit, Ragna cut it out! Be cool about it, dammit!]
L-Listen, I'll think about it alright? I-I'll let you know by the end of the day if I come up with something.
