Senjen shrugged, giving a quick glance towards Ruk. “I suppose. I guess I just think a lot about keeping my friends safe, especially if I can’t always be there.” 

In general, Senjen did care more about defense than offense. It did not terribly matter how much firepower he had if someone could end him before he even knew he was in a fight. Not to mention, his whole job was [i]protecting[/i] others. If he was not the one standing strong, then a situation could turn sour very quickly. He had to admit, it was exciting to feel as strong as he had. Even just moving around felt so fluid, especially in a body as capable as that one. Not only was it better armored, it was faster and stronger. Partially because it was simply new and had not experienced the wear and tear of his current frame, but even if his body was factory new, it still would not compare. He had to keep reminding himself of what the had told himself going in. He was not buying today, just gathering information.

Jess’ warnings had been plenty for Senjen to expect a sales pitch, but what he received was more than he imagined. Upselling with discounted bundles, maybe, or mildly favorable interest rates on financing, but this was a discount on the base model. And a significant one, at that. All he had to do was make a few videos promoting a frame he already knew he liked? It seemed like a steal, but he did not know too much about contracts with big corporations. Could there be a trick here? What would they even do? He would feel less nervous if he was sure he understand the contract. Maybe he could let Jess look over it?

“I...okay, that’s really not a bad offer. Do you mind if I take a copy of the contract home? Read it over?” Senjen asked.

It felt tempting for Jess to want to take a deep breath first, but she was reminded that it was really best to breathe [i]out[/i] before heading inside. A breathable liquid was...bizarre, more psychologically than physically. In truth, Jess did not know all too much about it. She vaguely remembered Ruknar talking about it at one point, and she knew there were some chemicals of some sort that inhibited the natural drowning response in all known intelligent species. It worked for some animals too, apparently, but was more hit-or-miss. 

Jess move forward awkwardly, uncertain if it was better to try and walk or swim. It was not cold, at least, so she did not get too much of a full body shock, but she was still already wanting it to be over quickly. The saleswoman had a suit to show, of course. Why else would she be talking with them? Though, she admittedly had some curiosity here. Gel suits were a recent addition to Myrmidon’s repertoire, all things considered, and they were very different from the company’s usual product lines. As advanced as they were, she had to imagine it was one area where the QV were still ahead, but would it be apparent just from first impressions? How would it compare? She wanted to make sure Light did not do anything irresponsible, but...there were some things she wanted to know too.
