I've promised someone I won't experiment without letting them know first.

[ said easily as she puts on gloves to pick up one of the beakers ]

[outdistanced]

You have? Who? [ nosy ] But if that's the case, then what are you planning to do?

[ he says, following along to peer at the beakers. ]

[apoisoncary]

Lucas. I was thinking of testing the effectiveness of the burn medication you can find in the hospital and if I could make a better one.

[ more candy goop! ]

[outdistanced]

...Shouldn't you at least message him first if you're going to test it, then?

[ he will. also grab some gloves. are any of these bottles even marked what are they. ]

I don't know how to test that kind of thing if we don't have real burns.

[apoisoncary]

I should.

[ thinking ]

We could always pour this out onto another piece of candy to see what'll happen. [ it's a different kind of experiment ]

[outdistanced]

I don't think that'd help with burns for humans, but it's a start. Just to see what it does first.

[ fetches some candy to start off with? ]

We can test the burn thing in a bit if you really want.

[apoisoncary]

I usually test on myself, but that's what he wants to know about.

[ thinking... ]

Maybe we can bring back pork from the kitchen later?

[ anyways let's pour some of the stuff onto candy! mods said it's just candy experimental stuff so i think we can wiggle with it ]

[outdistanced]

With how we keep checking for injuries, someone ought to know. [ ... ] Maybe a couple of people, just in case.

[ never know who might turn up dead. ]

Sure, why not? [ peeks over her shoulder. ] Anything interesting?

[apoisoncary]

Before, it was only Zhongli and Elysia [ ...vibes are sad for a moment before she goes to something much more neutral ] Lucas and Yves have both seen. I don't know if I should add any more...

Just a lot of weird colors. It all can't be just candy, right?

[outdistanced]

[ yeah that sadness is echoed in him, too. ]

Seen... what?

[ normally he wouldn't pry, but maomao brought it up first. ]

Everything else is candy. It could be. Or maybe, like, syrups or something?

[apoisoncary]

My experiments. [ ... ] Don't worry about it.

[ she wants to taste but that will probably fall under experiments ]

I wonder if any of this makes the weapons in that room?

[outdistanced]

You can't just say that and tell me not to worry about it.

[ with a flicker of annoyance. ]

Maybe. You'd think they'd be experimenting to make those things less fragile, though.

[apoisoncary]

[ she is going to roll up her sleeve to show her bandage left arm. it's the whole arm. she knows he can probably put it together. ]

Just this.

{ they can get back to candy talk in a moment ]

[outdistanced]

You... experiment on yourself?

[apoisoncary]

I'm not going to experiment on others.

[outdistanced]

No, but it's still dangerous.

[apoisoncary]

It's just working on and testing different treatments for different things.

[ he does not need to know the details ]

I already told Lucas I wouldn't without letting him know.

[outdistanced]

...You'd only be able to do that if you've had the injury or whatever you're trying to treat.

[ a flicker of displeasure and concern. ]

You really can be a pain, can't you? [ sighs. ] At least someone's keeping an eye on you.

[apoisoncary]

[ She's not going to deny that part or make excuses. She has totally given herself injuries to treat.

Maomao is curling a hand under her chin at those emotions she's feeling from him. ]

I am not used to people caring.

[ It's weird... ]

[outdistanced]

What kidn of jerks do you know that they don't care?

[apoisoncary]

It isn't about them being jerks, but everyone having their own worries and lives to deal with.

[ they also have all accepted maomao is just like this ]

[outdistanced]

People can have their own things and still care.
