"They're both pretty cool," he said, fairly. "But... yeah."

He wondered if just anybody could get an Aeon. He had never been good at magic, or the more esoteric arts in general and his fighting style tended towards the 'hit it until it stops moving' so he didn't know if he'd be any good with an Aeon, if it was even possible for him to get one, but the idea of it appealed to him like the new fad toy advert appealed to kids before Hogswatch.

Pitting Aeon against Aeon was like a crazy, large-scale dogfight, but he expected they were less showy and more visceral in an actual battle against actual risks. More visceral and more awesome, in the correct sense of the word.
