"Quite a work of art, isn't it?" Silver stretches the flickering web of metal between his hands with a languid smile.
Steel glances back in spite of himself, and for a moment the light catches the strands and lends them brilliant hues: greens, golds and deep blues. Transformation; a new depth.
"I suppose you would prefer something a little less decorative. Something more-" Silver doesn't look up; his smile becomes predatory. "-coldly efficient."
But the sudden clarity in Steel's mind is fading, replaced with an unfamiliar self-consciousness - and then Sapphire calls, and the answer is the same as always.
