Felix could feel Gideon working on his back, and while the heat and the reshaping was slightly uncomfortable, Felix trusted that Gideon knew what he was doing, and Gideon's delicacy and mastery of the craft prevented it the discomfort from becoming unbearable.

Felix appreciated Gideon's response, not only the response itself, but the way in which he delivered it.  By framing it as a question of profit, Gideon argued for good business practice, keeping his moral stance on the matter hidden.  It was admirable, one never knows when one's convictions might be taken as offensive.  As for himself, Felix took a more populist stance on the proliferation of technomancy.  His father was of the nouveau riche, and met with a lot of difficulty for it, especially for the fact that he married Felix's mother, who was among the nobility.  Unlike Gideon, Felix was fairly open about where he stood, which may be considered naive as, some radical royalists might consider such a stance as treason.  "I'm glad you think that way," Felix replied, "It would be bad business sense to turn the company upside down in a vain attempt to attract customers we've never had.  Thank yo Mr. Lockheed, I am more reassured now with the company's direction."
