	Mikey narrowed his eyes. Gossick's hypothesis was a little too accurate for his liking. Perhaps he'd been foolish to reveal even a speck of his research methods? Other magic scientists were never to be trusted! They stole research notes, ruined progress, and above all, [i]usually didn't know how to fish.[/i] Mikey sealed his lips and looked to Jenso, but not before throwing Gossick an anxious glare.

	"Why are you so eager to help me, buddy?" Mikey asked cautiously. Even if he didn't know anything about Jenso, it was never a bad idea to keep a caster around for a quick solution to problems that would usually require one or two trips across town. Still, perhaps he was feigning ignorance, just to intrude on his research! Or maybe he was just a good guy? Mikey's eyebrow twitched as he thought over the circumstances.

	Nino was reluctant, but took Lucille's words at face value. She had no reason to lie to him, and her disposition never befitted one of a [i]crook[/i] or a [i]troublemaker.[/i] He couldn't say as much for Tetu or Quinn. Nino nodded and padded towards Lucille eagerly.

	"Milk," he mewled, "Where would I trot? Who would I ask? I've no money, you see," He plead, partially preying on Lucille's kindness for a hint of generosity. She seemed like she'd already offered to pay for whatever he'd wanted, after all. [i]'I've nowhere to keep it'[/i] he pondered, somewhat entertained by the idea of flesh pockets. Nino was particularly against using his brand to morph his shape, however. The risks it posed, paired with the obscene, twisted thought of transformations kept him from delving any deeper into the thought.
