[ rhys probably hasn't spent much time around blind people because that sort of handicap is just something that can just be... fixed, in his social circles. still, he's fairly impressed by break even if he wouldn't say it. he does poke a little fun when break takes his hand by wiggling the metal digits against his palm. haha, weird, right?
why are your hands so nice though? even rhys' robot hand is a bit dinged up but that's mostly from his adventures on pandora and murder town. ]
What? Looking to lose a limb or something? That's... probably a bad thing where you come from, huh?
[ true story, most of the people rhys knows with robot limbs have them because either a) they're smart enough to build them or b) they have the wealth to purchase them. it's a weird kind of privilege so rhys really doesn't think break could afford to lose a limb. ]
Oh! My brain. It's sort of... connected? It's as much part of my body as everything else is. Part of the surgery is connecting the cybernetics to your nerve endings and then there's a while of physical therapy to get the arm to respond to your brain. Eventually, you can do normal tasks and more with just a thought. I can even make phone calls on the arm, it's pretty handy.
