The deal had been struck.
Ves had compromised his own principles in order to gain the compliance of a D-mech.
For a moment, a part of him hated his own work. He personally wrought this terrible and demonic engine of destruction into existence. Without his input and decisions, the Prophet's Bane would have never gained enough leverage to torment his own maker!
However, a different side of Ves held a different attitude towards the orange-striped machine.
The pure mech designer and creator within himself felt inordinately proud at the fact he birthed a mech that transcended any boundaries that held virtually every other machine back!
Ves felt like a parent who just witnessed his own child surpass his father and rise to greatness in his own preferred way!
In totality, Ves felt bitter about the outcome of the negotiation, but that was all. He did not feel as upset as he should.
