Not--not personally, for that item. That would've been...well, a Kendry can't really be seen buying that kind of thing, you know? [ Rhys grins a little and shrugs, full of confidence. For a change. ]

I hired someone. But it arrived in mint condition. [ Because things like that matter to tech nerds like them. It's still in-case, but a scan with his eye has assured him everything's in order and ready to be examined...or installed. ]

Thought you might wanna do the honours?

[ It's not subtle, exactly. But Rhys does predominantly mean just the case and the tech within. He's been saving it, in a way? Hoping Royce might find some spare time on his hands to install it for him after dissecting and running diagnostics.

Which is saying something considering only one person, prior to his internment at the hospital, has ever laid hands on his tech from a mechanical perspective. It's a point of Trust fuelled by both attraction...and the fact that Royce hasn't reported him as an illegal hackmod when he's had every opportunity up to this point to. ]

You should come with me, sometime. To Utopia. Off the books? They've got some pretty interesting tech exhibitions.
