It was almost like a return to the very start of the day, the way Sucrose went wide eyed and startled. But it was hardly a negative shock- Moreso, a sort of awestruck amazement that Blanche both knew about their earlier agricultural advancements and even knew their personal involvement in the spray. It’s not like they weren’t credited on the distribution label, but… Well, it wasn’t something they thought a lot of people were all that aware of.
It was a welcome development from a very unexpected source. To think anyone but Timaeus would acknowledge their work! Thoroughly flattered all over again, they made an awkward attempt to return the bow, mumbling out hurried it was nothing’s, before blinking at the new question. A little unconsciously, they lifted a hand, finger probing at the edge of their glasses like a lifeline.
Eyes flitting to the sidelines momentarily, they mulled over the approach. “My current research… There’s a few different things I’ve been working on. Um- A little in collaboration with Mr. Albedo’s own developments in Dragonspine. Although…” Their voice trailed off, an uneasy glint sparking in their wayward gaze before they shook it off just as quickly. “Well, that’s just a prototype.”
Finding themselves once more, they dropped their hand from their temple, although their line of sight remained firmly positioned anywhere but forward. “My personal research might not be very interesting from an outsider’s perspective, but… I’m doing a lot of work with elemental infusion. I use my own vision for anemo harnessing, however. All elemental energies vary from user to user. It could be worthwhile to have another anemo wielder involved. I- Well, I can’t promise it’d be very interesting. The specifics depend on what sample group we’d be testing on. I’m.. testing how different tissues respond to these elemental properties. To investigate the origin of elemental life forms. Among… other things.”
Hesitation stilled them, a frown beginning to tug at their expression. “It’s more of an educational venture than actual biotech development. Um- But it’s a necessary first step before I actually know what I want or need to make. Still, your involvement might feel… menial. In comparison to- to things like field combat.”
“Dragonspine, eh?” A place that she really didn’t like. Sure, she could handle the cold like the other Captains, but spending extended periods of time there even chilled her to the bones. The frostburn got to her and that one time she had to spent extensively searching for a few lost members of the Knights of Favonius, had resulted in her being knocked out for a week straight.
Since then she rarely ever went there, unless it was urgent or a request of the Acting Grand Master herself. Still listening to Noelle, she noticed that she was done with the food and decided to toss a pouch of Mora towards the chef and in the same movement, put back her helmet.
“It’s a bit bad that we’re both Anemo users, but as you stated, maybe two anemo users could produce different results?” She questioned, and then waved it off afterwards. “As the saying goes; The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. In order to get to the true development, we’ll have to do some educational venturing first.”
Yep, with that she stood up and gave a thumbs up towards Sucrose. “I had a lot of fun talking to you today, but my shift is about to begin. I hope that we can meet each other tomorrow. again and then discuss the schedule we have in mind better, once you’ve given it some thought?”
