	Mikey narrowed his eyes and Jenso for a few moments, waiting for him to show any sign of weakness or dishonesty. Mikey was awfully good at reading people, after all, even if it didn't serve him all that well in the past. Something about this guy just rang absolute trust though, as if they'd met in another life as friends! It was perturbing, but Mikey [i]was[/i] in the market for a new caster assistant. One that wouldn't blow up another one of his machines. He nodded and offered a shy smile. "Eh, if you're so sure about it, I suppose you could assist me... But my research isn't really all that exciting, man," Mikey said, turning back to Gossick, "and from the perspective of most mages, it may sound like something outright impossible. You absolutely sure about that?"  Mikey reached into his pocket and pulled out a fair amount of money, slapping it onto the table in front of Gossick. "This enough for one of each?" He asked, referring to the batteries he'd asked for earlier.
