Rattan waved his hand dismissively. "It was nothing," he mumbled, his cheeks flushing slightly. "You would have done the same for me."
Chief's smile widened. He looked at the gauntlet on the crate, then back at Rattan. "I saw you studying that. It seems you have an interest in our technology."
Rattan's eyes lit up. "It's… amazing," he breathed, his voice filled with awe. "I've never seen anything like it. I was just wondering where to even begin to understand how it works."
Chief rose to his feet, though he still moved with a slight limp. He walked over to the crate and picked up the gauntlet, turning it over in his large hands. "It's not as complicated as it looks," he said, his voice warm and encouraging. "Though it does take some getting used to."
