[All right, fair point. Erwin will carry a towel around when he's feeling like a nudist, so he can sit on it and not get ball sweat on things. There hasn't been any need for such a thing lately, but now that he's got a fresh new arm? Yeah, he might enjoy some backyard sunbathing once the weather warms up a little more.]

Yes. [Erwin grins at the comment about coconuts, positively beaming with delight.] This hand is strong enough to hold them in place.

[He'll use it to hack up that pineapple too. The fine motor control in the new hand is still awkward and slow, so despite being naturally right-handed, Erwin will keep using his left hand for detail work. The metal hand can very easily hold a coconut in place, though, and as a bonus, if he slips with the knife he won't cut himself.]

Not really. It's no worse than getting the ODM gear on one-handed.

[Which is to say, fiendishly difficult, but something Erwin practiced relentlessly after his injury until he could do it himself. After learning that, getting the arm on is practically child's play.]

[Erwin reaches up with his real hand and taps the leather straps across his chest.]

I'm going to end up with some new scars, though.

[Which he sounds delighted about.]
