Tonegawa nodded. "Yes, I can see how that makes sense." Good business sense. Saving on expenses. Maximising profits. All money talk, which was something he could focus on without any trouble whilst holding a magical amulet that shot fire arrows (into an equally magical barrier which disperses them).

That said... he glanced down at the amulet again, looking thoughtful. As appealing as the raw macho potential of setting something alight at a word was, it wasn't quite as elegant as he'd have liked a personal defense weapon to be- but it still intrigued him. He couldn't monopolise Laforet's time now that they were on icy territory, after all...

"Are you selling the barriers, too?" he asked quickly. "If you're selling a weapon, you'll want to sell the matching defenses, too."
