[ Well, at least one of them has to be the voice of reason, logic, and common sense. Not necessarily all three at once, or heck--- even just one of them. It's going to be up to Emil to keep Wukong from going too over board with his plan.

But he does notice the other hero carefully take care of his uniform, which does cause him to think about doing the same! Funny, as he never prioritized his appearance (or really cared for it, outside of looking cool)... so to see Emil fold his jacket at least puts the thought in his head for the future.

Taking care of your own personal things is a thoughtful thing, isn't it? Wukong should also be considerate... ]

Oh, and just in case--- if it goes well, then I'm happy to split up some of the colle. If it doesn't... [ and he reaches to scratch the back of his head ] ... well, I'll see what I can do anyway. I'll take an earful even if it includes less money, too.

[ In short, he won't let Emil take responsibility for Wukong's experiment. He's a good monkey, a noble monkey!

But he'll pull his staff toward him, holding it over the water. The mana flows from his body, into his weapon, which oddly vibrates as it stretches to its limits. He's only done this a few times, imagining an orb that gathers at the very tip of the staff...

Hopefully Emil is ready with the net, which sits by Wukong's feet. ]
