Ruknar’s reminder was helpful, if nothing else to keep Senjen from rushing into any decisions. This purchase was something for which he had been planning and saving for over two years now. He had been patient for all that time; he could stand to be patient for one more day. This was a commitment that could eat up quite a few years for him, so it was worth it to get the best deal he could. 

“Let’s see, and that’s after the discount…” Senjen muttered . “Okay, I can afford that deposit, and...this is my monthly income.” He had made over 1.7 billion GC during the last two years at FGC. Of course he had some expenses, but he had been able to save a significant percentage of it. This was something he could manage, he knew it, but he had to stay calm and keep in mind the advice of his friends. He looked up more directly at the Utaysi. “I just need to take this home, like I said. All the terms and conditions are here in this contract, right? Are there any other documents I need, or are we done for now? If you want to add on the work placement or advertising options you mentioned, I can look at those too.”

In the time it took for Jess to saunter her way through the gel into the other room, it seemed Light had managed to overcome the initial awkwardness at the new suit. He wasn’t crashing into the walls, at least. She supposed it was probably safe enough to start swimming her way over closer to him with just a small degree of caution. 

Jess glanced over her shoulder at Symphony. “I’m just curious, is all. Buying a gel suit definitely ain’t in the cards for me today.” 

Jess’ gaze settled onto the more fine details of the suit, at least as far as she was able to discern. The physical mechanics of a gel suit were still quite alien to her, but it still was mechanics. Still physics. It still needed to send and receive signals, still have something to do the job of muscles. Surely the fact that it was transparent would make it all that much easier to see its inner workings? Ruknar had mentioned how it was literally easier to perform surgery on a QV due to their transparency, so it could be the same here. 

“Have you ever given a test drive of a top-of-the-line QV-made suit, Light? How does it compare to one of them?” Jess asked.
