The older man turned to face the assistant, his expression cold as he asked, "Even though to others you are a human, all I can see right now is an obstruction. A barrier coming between the safety of my people and the evil forces."
The bespectacled man lowered his eyes and responded, "Please forgive me if I sounded critical or if my intentions had been misinterpreted, but I am just concerned about the lives of those we would be risking by creating this artifact."
The artifact in question was the same tool on which Edward has been working on for quite some time. He recently threw a celebration too, to declare to the world about his revolutionary creation.
And after all that, a young guy who has probably lived lesser than the years Edward has spent in his workshop.
