[After a moment of consideration, William takes the comp and looks it over and smiles a little, because he is moved by this offer.]

Very well then, a loan. I will make sure to take good care of it in the mean time.

[Despite how dinged up it was, it looked expensive. Terrifyingly so, like all electronic devices were.]

And it is appreciated. I should ask Kevin what he thinks of it to make sure, since he might have his own ideas about it.

But, it might be nice to have on hand. Or even to study for a bit.

[If only Isaac was here. He would have delighted in this and probably have even been jealous. It would have evened the playing field between them. Though, when he thought about it, that wouldn't have given William much pleasure in the long run. He wanted their next magical duel to be one of equals.

Though for now, this was fine. Monsters didn't play fair after all.]

So does it need to be charged or anything like that?
