It's as mundane a request as any that Kit has received since dying in his world only to find himself awakening in a parallel dimension where inter-dimensional travel is a thing and continents are turtles. Honestly, he thinks he's adapted pretty quickly, all things considered. As such his reaction is simply to shrug and lift the metal detector from his shoulder, offering it out to Rutile. (His bibiru keeps peering at the newcomer with perked ears and wiggling nose.)

"I have some marginal experience with metals, although the technology here is rather beyond my grasp."


"Yeah, you and me both," he replies, snorting. "This time last year I was still getting used to indoor plumbing."
