[This item had been difficult to design without her; he's not a programmer, he knows nothing of computer code or app development beyond his concept ideas and artwork. He'd had to pay one of the locals to help him with it behind her back, so this moment of surprise could be possible. He could have told her, he knows, made it another collaboration effort. But what if it hadn't worked for some reason? What if he never found the item? It's rare, a random drop in an infinite number of randomly generated levels. It could have taken months and months to find it. He'd buried his equipment in luck-boosting gear, recruited thief classes to play with. It'd still taken a lot of hours to track it down.
Seeing her smile like that makes the extra time, work, and cost well worth it immediately, and he musters a smile in return. He's glad that it worked out.]
No sweat. [His hands curl around hers, partially around the chain as well, though he doesn't try to take it back.] Want to do the honours, or should I hold on to it until it's time? We're still in for a fight, I think.
[Ophion is programmed to be wild, a dangerous superboss. He has no illusions that they'll just be able to walk in and lope a chain around the dragon's neck.]
