[ He holds out his wrists. If Shiro wants to give it a shot, Koltira won't deny him. ]

Do as you will.

[ Though he wonders now--if not a healer, what? A thief, a mage? Shiro, please slot yourself into a fantasy class. ]

[racking]

[ With that permission, Shiro settles in close, and closes his palm around the shackle circling Koltira's wrist. One at a time seems a better way. Shiro's leery of accidentally slicing into Koltira's skin. The last thing Koltira needs probably includes losing a hand. ]

Alright. Here goes nothing.

[ A purple glow lights both their faces as Shiro activates his prosthetic. Hope this doesn't end up scorching off your hand, Koltira. ]

[ Koltira is still as stone while Shiro gets to work. The heat flares in his vision, and it's his instinct to draw away, but he quashes it. His manacles glow in response to the searing light, but it's as though they're absorbing whatever Shiro's putting out. Koltira winces as the seconds pass and the glow intensifies; the heat boils him, and it's starting to do more than hurt. ]

St -- ... stop--

[racking]

[ Shiro snatches his hands away, horrified at himself. The metal doesn't come apart in his hands. It absorbs and burns, and it's the opposite of what he'd meant to do for Koltira. ]

I'm so sorry.

[ And he's lacking any kind of first aid equipment. Some good Shiro is in this moment. ]

I've never seen that happen before.

[ Which is a foolish thing to say, and Shiro instantly realizes it. Ever since he arrived, he's been privy to things that are completely outside the realm of possibility. Surely this shouldn't come as a complete surprise. ]
