[He's not good at conversations but this subject falls directly into an area he actually could talk about!
By degrees, the tension in his shoulder fades...even if his voice doesn't become much friendlier. At least it's less annoyed and more just aloof.]
Converting Chroma to demichroma...the trade isn't too difficult but for this case it's not a usable method. [Because Gu Yun has other health complications that require chroma to keep under control. Though when he thinks about it, if they could get that under control using means other than Chroma wouldn't that make things easier...?
As he thought about it, his frown deepened for a moment before he sighs. Well. What can't be done can't be done. He knows Gu Yun won't agree to such a thing because he didn't even want to admit to any weakness...and to be honest, Chu Wanning could understand that.
He reached over to grab a different sheet of paper. What's written on it is something more familiar: a talisman.]
What truly powers these armours is steam. Spiritual energy can create heat, of course. But to generate the necessary heat isn't exactly a beginner's skill. Spells and talismans can make up for that lack in skills, but to activate it still requires at least a little bit of spiritual power. [He's used to designing things to be simple for amateurs to use, oddly enough...though none of the disciples back in his world would believe it. But...as he's already said, Gu Yun won't take his suggestion for him to cultivate seriously!] Even if I lend him some, it seems risky to rely on something that he can't replenish if no one is near to lend him spiritual energy.
