Despite having come from something far from a normal family setting, it's still a startling thing to hear that something could be done to one's own flesh and blood, and only in this case avoided because of a family heredity. Unfortunately clones wouldn't have a say in such a thing, although knowing the Kaminoans to be perfectionists, Tech would not be surprised if any of their developing clones showing less than favorable growth would be terminated. But they treated the clones as property and product. He would assume that true families functioned differently, although with cultures and religion, perhaps complications arise in different frequencies. Hearing a personal matter is much different than reading about it.

Brothers torn apart by expectations and loyalties. That certainly strikes close to home.

Tech sighs, nodding then. "Yes. I...hadn't thought about it that way," he says, blinking at this perspective. "We've always been a singular unit. Being without them has been...unsettling." Pain? Ah, perhaps that's what it is. Pain of absence. He can identify it now, but he likes it no better.

His smile flickers back at Rokuro's surprise at the suggestion. "It'll be useful, and it seems that on the whole if we're better equipped for this place, then payment is the least thing to worry about. If the camp resources do not still have some readily provided, then I'm sure I can find the necessary components to put one together."
