“But he’s risking his life,” Chariot’s mother spoke. Chariot frowned.
While that isn’t helping, it’s a good point that should be out on the table. That said, surely there are tinkers in the PRT who don’t actually take part in combat? Chariot’s suits sound good for combat in some ways, but if he’s completely unwilling, I’m sure there are options.
“He is. There are responsibilities. But honestly? There’s zero way he’s going to be able to go out and try out any of the stuff he’s made without running into trouble. People are going to pick fights, just because he has powers.
Yeah, that’s fair. And if he’s a Ward, he’ll have training in handling himself when that happens.
If he tries to hang out in a workshop he establishes on his own, they’re going to find him, strong-arm him into putting something together for them. Not just villains, either. Heroes too.
Oof. A rogue tinker’s life is hard, as evidenced by every children’s movie with a brilliant scientist father who gets targeted because the bad guys want some invention or other.
Being a tinker doesn’t just make you a target. It makes you a resource. It’s why pretty much every tinker out there is a member of a larger, more powerful team.”
Yeah, makes sense.
