[to which he gives another breathy little laugh, turning to look fully over at Tek again. he has a lot fewer reservations about pulling off his final sleeve this time, which he does almost as casually as if he was just getting undressed for the evening.
Tek had wanted to see scars, and he gets them here. Tonic's other arm is pale, healed-over but irreparably mangled. much of it has that same strange texture as his deformed face, where it seems just a little bit wrong all over. and much like his leg, there are old puncture wounds and bad slices that have since closed up.
most of the attention goes to the metal sticking out of his arm, though. delicate, slender strips of brass run over muscles, hooking up at subtle mechanical junctions, bending at hinges, connected by wires--some of which is clearly plugged directly into his arm. some of the entry points look a little irritated, swollen, mostly where his elbow bends and the parts would have been jostled the most. it looks invasive, and potentially very dangerous--but much cleaner and less aggressive than the metal sticking out of the two gentlemen that Tek had met earlier.]
