So you just need a firm hand? [well. fuck. viktor at least manages not to run a hand over his face for letting that slip- this is the problem, flirting doesn't make him bat an eye it's the feelings around it that send him tumbling. this would really, truly be so much easier if he just found pal attractive and not instantly engaging.

he resists the urge to clear his throat and offers,] Harrow- yes, I'd like to meet her. I'm curious in general about the people from your world, they sound an interesting group.

[he places a fingertip over a certain area just below the elbow, a click of his tongue as he decides,] Spring-loaded tends to lack the longevity I prefer for prosthetic work, though it could do. A push latch if it could be made small enough would be an option.

[good question pal, in arcane it's mostly drugs and aesthetic as far as anyone can tell. at least this hypothetical wouldn't run on highly illegal drugs, probably just lunar energy and maybe a little blood, eventually. that's normal enough here though, right.]

With a lot of trial and error. [viktor snorts, glancing up from where his fingers still rest lightly on pal's skin.] Mostly it mimics electrical currents. It loses most range of feeling and sensitivity but... well, we would just have to do better if you ever needed it.

[ugh. he glances back down at pal's wrist.] But of course better you never need it, thus the weapon building I mentioned.
