(This portion is sent as a simple text, devoid of as many emotions as he can spare his Kano.)

May I see you?

(Maedhros is sitting on his bed, his hair brushed and draped over one shoulder. He has a mechanical hand laying beside him and he is preparing to strap it to his arm. It is not often that he shows what is left of that arm - that nub, truly - and the scars are numerous even though the cut that severed it was clean.)

Atar or Curufin would have delighted in this, I think. I feel hardly worthy of it.

(A small, tired smile curls his lips as he, at last, raises his arm, new hand attached. The fingers bend, flexing and he touches them in wonder.)

My thanks to the engineers on our fleet. Your craftsmanship and your patience have left me with a much easier existence.

(OOC: If you would like your particular engineer to have been one of the ones who aided Maedhros, assume it is so!)

(If only Felix knows of what Maedhros has done; he may not think of him so kindly. But the tall Elf appreciates the sentiment nonetheless.)

Thank you. (His cheeks and his ears gain a flush of color and he glances down at the hand, watching it move from every angle.) Are you familiar with...prosthetics? They are not common or present at all in my world - unless they are exceptionally rudimentary.

[That's a possibility but...well, he definitely has feelings about this issue, it'd have to be pretty bad.]

They're pretty common where I'm from, yes. Not everyone can afford one, but they're common.

[That...completely dodges the question of if he's personally familiar. Felix isn't ready to divulge that as quickly.]
