Well. The discussion of cutting Taako's hand off would be a boner killer if there weren't someone still actively touching him; as it is, it just leads to a very surreal kind of cognitive dissonance, where his body feels warm, his nerves tingling, while his stomach is wound tight with nerves.

"Uh... let's... yeah, uh, let's not... do that, please," he requests nervously-- and then he sees the new tools that were brought out, and he feels like he's in some very surreal kind of sitcom suddenly.

The tape measure is almost a comical addition, and yet the one he's the least nervous about in the scheme of things.

"... uh. Getting less fun now, suddenly."
