[Here is one genius mage, seated at a table with books and tools strewn everywhere as always. In her hands is a shiny object that could be mistaken for a thick bracelet, if not for the intermittent light emitted by the inset gem and the holographic console above it. Rita taps several symbols on the console, and the gem pulses weakly before fading again. Although she sighs and shakes her head, there's not really much actual impatience behind it.]

Come on, old man. I know you can do better than that. Don't be so lazy...

[While she mutters, she continues typing and adjusting until the light becomes strong and steady, at which point she nods in satisfaction. Pride, even.]

See? You can do it when you want to. Okay, Arven, you'll be working hard from now on if you know what's good for you.

[If the blastia's name sounds similar to Raven, it's clearly just coincidence. Clearly.]

[anfkgn slamming her hands down on the table furiously--and trying not to get too worked up; he's just messing with her, right?]

You--Go distract yourself with a damn hobby, already!

[He is messing with her... mostly. And enjoying it immensely, too.]

That is my damn hobby.

Well, if you're not interested in sharing. [He moves to turn off the camera.]

Well, try a new one!

[Pushing her buttons is so easy...even if she's going to try and pretend not to take him seriously.]

L-like I care about whatever you're doing there, anyway!

That's no fun. [He pauses, cocks his head to the right, and then smiles cruelly.] Oh, good. This means you won't get in my way. [And then he continues to move towards turning off the camera, taking his good sweet time, smiling the entire way.]

[~~keep calm~~ She pounds her fists onto the table again, rattling all her equipment and way more than a little agitated.] Of what, exactly?

[He pauses, legitimately confused for a moment.]

Any tests I may run. I found a woman with a bunch of little dragons. I've been thinking about capturing one. She says she'd feel it if they were hurt. I want to know if that's true.

[Her hands clench while she stares in disgust.]

So what, you want to hurt both of them just to prove it? You can't just believe her? [Even though she knows it's a stupid question. Rita doesn't like to take information at face value, either...]

How can I prove it unless I see it? You could tell me that I could bounce a rock on the water here, but I wouldn't believe you until I saw it.

Bouncing a rock on water is totally different than injuring someone!

The principle is the same. I can't take something at face value. I have to know if it's true.

Tch--Same principle or not, people aren't here just to be your experimental toys, you know!

Technically, it's a dragon.

Fine--dragon, human, or any other organisms. Try obsessing over something inanimate, will you?

That's what I'm trying to do. [he points at the blastia.] Not that you're helping.

[She places her hand over it protectively, as if he could do something from wherever he is.] I don't need you obsessing over this guy, either.

So it is alive, then.

Think whatever the hell you want. He's not for you to take apart.

......

I already said I wasn't interested in taking it apart.

Then what are you interested in? "Observing" him?

I want to know what it is, what it does. I have the feeling taking it apart would get me nowhere, anyways.

Argh--He's a blastia, all right? A blastia! [She knows very well he won't recognize the term, though.]

....

Oh, a blastia. In that case.

Yeah, a blastia.

[No other explanation forthcoming.]

And what does a blastia do?
