[It sounds both elaborate and extraordinary; despite the plain appearance of both canes, it's a little staggering to think what this guy is doing for complete strangers, and L recognizes that he will owe a significant debt if he's allowed to take one.
He doesn't care for fire; intense heat bothers him at best and frightens him at worst. Ultimately, the ice cane is more appealing to him both because of its elemental temperament and its lightness.
He reaches for the simple bamboo cane, using one hand to assist at wrapping the other's fingers around the shaft. But then he's looking alarmed... and pleased.]
It's just like ice....
[And as someone with nerve damage in his hands, it's a tremendous relief, considering they've felt like they were being held over an open flame all day. In short order, his other fingers are against it; though it's so cold he is vaguely worried about the effects of prolonged contact, for the moment, it feels incredible. If this was all the cane did, L would very likely still want it. Even the way it thrums and buzzes under his touch is soothing.]
