Hrm. [He doesn't look entirely convinced, he's heard that enough times to be wary.

Anyways, there was one more thing he wanted to do. He holds the cane Viktor made him in Auriel out for him to take.]

You can have this back, too.

[sweetmilk]

[ Viktor hums back, looking down at the cane. Taking a step forward, he takes it and holds it up into the light. ]

Hm, you can keep it if you would like. I have no use for it.

[ He should have no use of it, now that he has access to more stable compounds. ]

This alloy is nothing I can use. Gold is best used for magic and I do not work with it often.

[levelshift]

[Accelerator blinks, looking down at the cane. He doesn't need it either now that he has his crutch back, but it's well-made and a lot of effort clearly went into crafting it. He doesn't want to just throw it out.]

... You sure?

[sweetmilk]

The offer is genuine, yes.

[ Viktor is not so quick to dispose of anything either, but there is little good it would serve him at present other than a reminder and his memory isn't faulty enough to need it. ]

I can take it if you insist.

[levelshift]

[He considers his options for a moment or two, before his expression sets into something decisive.]

No, it's fine. I'll hold onto it in case another mission like that one comes up and I need it again.

[He's going to voice the pragmatic reason to hold onto it, though part of him simply wants to have it.

This next part comes a little more reluctantly.]

... Thanks.

[sweetmilk]

Should it need to be repaired, I still possess the blueprints.

[ Viktor had built it to last, but he's familiar enough with the missions to know that most things, themselves included, are often tested. ]

I had built it to be used, and that is all that matters to me.

[ Because Viktor is clearly unused to gratitude in any form. ]

[levelshift]

Okay.

[Though from the craftsmanship Accelerator is reluctant to completely believe that the cane was entirely made for practical reasons. People don't put this much effort into building something when it's for practicality only.

Anyways, it is what it is. He'll hold onto it for any future missions.]

I'll see you around, then.
