[Playing with fire is a fantastic way to not get anything but a broken device back.
The dragon glances up, the myriad lenses briefly distorting everything in very peculiar ways before one talon simply pushes several of them aside on their delicate wiring. Whatever impression he gains from L's rail thin, shabby appearance, not a word is said about any of it. He's well able to school what little of his expression can be seen into bland neutrality, turning one gloved hand palm-up, claws a curved cage. Hand over the goods!]
Your device.
[If he recalls L at all from previous conversations, or even more recent ones with Myr, there's zero sign of it. But the voice is the same, a dry and not exactly pleasant rasp, as if he'd spent a while screaming for extensive periods of time.]
You may remain if you so wish, as that is the chair's purpose, but I require quiet. The work is delicate. If you wish to leave, return in forty-five minutes.
