I've got a friend back home, she's the best automail mechanic around... but she's not here, and I need an adjustment. That's the job. Like I said, I'm pretty sure it'll be quick. You won't even have to switch it off. [Probably. Mostly going by past experience and wishful thinking, it has to be said. That stuff hurts.
He can't disguise the little note of trepidation creeping into his voice - by now he's used to just about every other world out there having more advanced technology than his, and the converse is a bit unsettling - but the guy should be able to figure it out... That other jerk managed to figure out his arm, after all.]
