[The distraction was fine. The armor was a glaring hint Bedivere didn't exactly live sometime in the past century, and maybe Dazai might be excused for his lack of familiarity with Arthurian lore. Growing up, Greek tragedies involving deities with all too human flaws were more to his tastes, although he'd find himself expanding his reading list over the next couple of days.
By the time Bedivere was done explaining, Dazai's features were drawn in thought as his gaze settled on a point beyond Bedivere's shoulder. Obviously this sort of thing has been going under their noses the entire time if he's never heard of it even in rumor, and that was the strange part - since when did Yokohama have two wish granting devices?]
I don't suppose you can tell me how long this has been going on?
[That was just the beginning, really. Dazai knew the half-assed wishes he thought of since he learned of the Book's existence, but not his new associate's. In that length of time, he'd also debated with himself at length the pros and cons of attaining his wishes through the use of Abilities or the standard MO of planning, because even such temptations were worth running through a cost-benefit analysis.
He wondered if it was the same for Bedivere.]
We're in the same boat, then. [Here, he cracked a smile and gestured down at himself.] In case you haven't noticed, I'm no powerhouse, and the one magic trick I have at my disposal requires me to get up close and personal.
[Dazai had his ways of getting around it, but plotting could come in a few minutes once he got Bedivere to describe what, in his opinion, made a strong Servant. No, he had something more important in mind at the moment.]
What's your wish anyway, if you're willing to go through all this trouble?
