Neo withdrew from the handshake first and retracted his hand to his side. He felt queasy and awkward for some reason. His hand in Raze's itched him internally for unknown reasons.
He cleared his throat and gulped down on his saliva. Standing in slight discomfort, Neo said, "When are we going to start with getting my abilities back?"
It had been his plan not to sound too eager. But as soon as the words fell out of his mouth, he did not only sound eager, he sounded pathetically desperate as well.
Raze smiled at him. "Whenever you want."
Neo appreciated the fact that Raze didn't tease him. So he continued on his path of shamelessness and said, "Now."
It was almost as if Raze had been expecting his words and had planned an even straightforward reply in his head which he delivered smoothly.
"Get on the bed."
"..."
"Are you crazy??" Neo spat after a second of speechlessness induced by great shock, stumbling backwards.
