[neverbeamemory]

In theory, yes.

[He nods as well but after a moment lightly shrugs.]

Though I'm not sure that there will be the time or the resources to release every inticate measure of control that the fluid contains. It has been painstaking enough to isolate this single compound that does not have a detrimental effect on other elements that are integral to our continued existance.

[culbutiri]

[She nodded] I do be understanding. We do be running out of time.

[neverbeamemory]

[Thinking back on what he just said. He sounded almost a whisper like-

-so scientific. He sternly points the mental blame at Doc Brown and not the first individual that springs to mind. He will never lower himself to be on par with that man. A flash of this disgust taints his body language but maybe it's too dark for Nesir to pick up on it.]

Time that we had in abundance, now running out when we need it the most.

[There is still so much that needs to be done.]

[culbutiri]

Well we will just be having to be working quicker, we can no be affording to be failing.

[neverbeamemory]

Sometimes it's not so much the amount of time you spend, it's how you spend it.

[culbutiri]

"Yes. Once we do be finding the breakthrough then time do no really be mattering, we just do be needing to be getting it right."

She nodded and handed over the weapons. "I be thanking you for the information."

[neverbeamemory]

Precisely.

[He takes the sword carefully, slowly - letting Nesir know that at all times he's waiting for any hint that she might even now try something untoward. Once the weapon was in hand Sephiroth dismissed Masamune from his left and swung the new orc sword around a little. It whooshed as it cut through the air well enough, though on a closer inspection of the edge, it may need sharpening a little.]

You are welcome. [He nods, only once.] I suppose I shall see you at the showdown.

[culbutiri]

[She just watches and then grins and nods] I would no be missing it.

[neverbeamemory]

[Something about that grin is more than a little contagious and Sephiroth finds his own cracking at the edges of his mouth as he finds that coveted balance point between weight and grip with the orc sword. A little bit of practice perhaps and it'll be as if he's used it all his life.]

It should be something to see, at the very least.

[culbutiri]

[Her grin just grew and she nodded, backing away until she was at the door, still not trusting him enough to turn her back.]

[neverbeamemory]

[As soon as Nesir begins to retreat he's watching her right until she vanishes out of sight. Not trusting her anymore than she trusts him.

Then if she heads down, he'll head upstairs -or vice versa- for more hunting.]
