Very well, then we can look at string instruments. [he still is mostly imagining that will not come to pass, because the idea of playing an instrument seems silly to him. somehow more silly than pal making a hobby of drawing squids, sometimes with glasses.

viktor shifts, moving to retighten his brace before lifting himself up with his cane, careful not to jostle rio as he goes over to the notebook from before.] This has most of it, I believe. [he flips to that page, leaning in to squint at it.] We can always make more trips if needed, it will likely take some searching for some of it.

Which reminds me, I am going to have gloves made for our lab work, some sturdy leather I think will be useful in dealing with some of the materials. Is there anything you would need from a tailor besides? [they really are roommates, just asking what pal might want when he's out at the store vibes.]
