[Well, someone's enjoying this, that's for certain. Vash's enthusiasm is outright impossible to ignore, even while Eve is holding on for dear life. She can hear him talking a mile a minute when he suddenly cuts off and starts coughing. Eve's momentary concern lasts a good minute before he finally speaks again.]

[Ah yes, no windshield.]

A risk when you talk so much.

[Did she intend to be so blunt? Maybe, maybe not.]

[It's a mystery]

[doubledollar]

--If I don't talk, I'll die. For real.

[ not for real. he's definitely being dramatic, but. he really is a chatterbox who seems to run on energy and chatter alone, right? Right?

Brad has at least reached a stride, and the rough ride has started to become smoother, if only because it's easier to get used to the rhythm of the beast's big feet slapping on the pavement underneath them as the city grows closer and closer. ]

So, do you have any books in mind for your collection start?

[playtag]

[Eve stares into the middle distance.]

[She's absolutely seen him having quiet moments around the cottage, rare as they might be. Why u lying plant man]

[Eve gradually gets more comfortable with the bird's fast speed. Just as their destination starts coming into view, and Vash reminds her of their intended goal]

Mm... Well, Vergil and Jun already offered me fiction books, so maybe scientific texts?

[doubledollar]

[he's serious, he's so serious!!!!

maybe he had his moments of long quiet--but truth be told, he also thought noone ever saw him when he was like that. ...he's not sneaky at all. he just thinks that he is. ]

Hmmm, like some books on Biology or Chemistry? Maybe some books about nature....
Those'd be fun, yeah?

[playtag]

[Press x to doubt]

[Vash is the least sneaky, even with Wolfwood's giant cross he carries everywhere.]

Yes! Maybe we can find a general reference book... or something more specific. I could learn more about DNA sequencing.

[Why would a twelve year old need to know that???]

[doubledollar]

[ that's definitely a weirdass subject for a kid. However, this is Vash, and he's not exactly your normal sort of person. That sounds like a book Kni would be interested in, truth be told. ]

Sounds like a pretty heavy sort of study. You wanna' be a scientist one day?

[playtag]

Not... really? I still want to be a bounty hunter, but I find science books quite engaging.

[Eve does not realize yet that she was cloned from a scientist, which might explain a bit.]

[Then, after a beat:]

...I also want to learn more about how my powers work. I only heard a little when the researchers talked around me, about nanomachines affecting DNA. If I understood how, maybe I could find new things I can do with them.

[doubledollar]

--Oh! You know, that's actually a really great idea.

I don't know too much about nanomachines myself, but. Maybe there'll be some books about them available at the library.

Is it a common technology from Earth? I only really had a year to learn from the computers up on the spaceship I was born on, so I never really got very far into science.

I mostly read a lot of fairy tales...

[playtag]

[She shakes her head.]

I don't think so. So far I haven't heard of anyone using them in Kaisou.

...I'm not even sure how common it was on my Earth.

[Outside the research facility, only her Sweeper group and the Taoists seem to bring up nanomachines. And usually in the context of her. Who knows how much the average person knows.]

[doubledollar]

Hmm.
I can't say I know a lot about nanotechnology. I know I read something about it...

...But. My brain is soupy and full of holes, I forgot what it was. The name still rings a bell, though...

[ hm. ]

I wonder if we'll be able to find a book about them.

[playtag]

Even if you could remember, it might have been different than my kind of nanotech. Different worlds.

[Same way there are so many different kinds of magic powers here other than Tao.]

It's worth trying.

[She's hoping, but knows it'll be a long shot.]
