"That's gonna be really heavy, though," Nate said. It sounded like she meant plate armour, since chain would hardly support a structure, and that stuff weighed a ridiculous amount. "That'll need more power to lift, and get even hotter..." He had another thought. "Would the armour move the leg, or the leg move the armour? The person wearing it would have to be pretty strong."
"Right, but..." Nate paused. "It's basically like standing on a really tall post, with that diameter, right? Like monks do to practice balance. So if you have only one lift pad per foot, it's gonna be easy to tip over. So... maybe have the main one under the arch, and another near the toes?"
Nate thought about it. "The first one sounds fragile," he said slowly. "This is for battle, right?" With the armour and what he knew about how she liked to fight - above the action - it almost had to be. "It would be really easy to break the ventilation, and then your feet are burned."
