[time to be at the bar after it's all cleared out! scien has brought out a bottle of wine, but also small things of note:
there is already a medical kit on the bar counter, clearly open and used. don't worry about it. the multi-tool isn't far either. on scien's floppy sleeve where his arm definitely isn't (and hasn't been since he arrived) there's a bloodstain. help me.
when throné walks in, he'll raise a brow silently. he's not ignoring her! this is already something.]

[sir your ARM. why are you like this.
maybe to her credit she only pauses a little when she walks in and beholds scien lackofabrofist at the bar being himself. it's really a whole sight to see. and then she makes her way over, and raises a brow back.]
What did you do? [why bleed]

[scien looks at the bottle again to double-check, puts it back, and then grabs a red]
Sure.
[he doesn't care enough to choose between wines. he'll go through the process of taking the glasses down and pouring. he tries to think of how to best explain...]
If your blood is examined under a microscope, to the breakdown of its contents, it can tell you things about your health. The vitals the pods show don't give me enough information. I want to know what being here does to my body, and all of us. Or how it treats my blood differently, since my lifespan is different.
[science things but in a kinda unhinged way. he gestures toward one of the glasses for her to take]

[it's a very clear explanation, and she's interested in it the same way she's always fascinated to hear about castti's mixtures and poultices.
she takes a glass, swirling it absently.]
Interesting. [she says, thoughtfully.] And have you discovered anything yet? Or is this a work in progress?

Nothing yet. I don't have the tools to perform a proper analysis. You typically need more equipment, and I can build it myself... but the materials aren't available. I wanted a sample from this time regardless, since blood can also change over time depending on the environment and now that we're awake, it sounds like things will change.
[he will take a sip of the drink first]
Your thoughts? Does a riot still sound fun?

Mm. It's common in criminal organizations for the top of the chain to keep their subordinates on very, very tight leashes.
[not that she has experience with that or anything]
For the amount of leaves they're offering to pay us, it seems unlikely to me that everything is above board.

They'll keep saying there isn't, but I do wonder if you can just hop off at on of the world stops and run.
[but
he finds his eyes drawn to her collar again and asks very straightforwardly - ]
If I ask after what you keep fiddling with, would you answer? It doesn't matter to me if you won't. But the tick is telling.

[she's also thought about that - but she's distracted by his question!
and just shrugs. she doesn't seem to mind - it's not really a secret, so much.]
... It's a collar. If I take it off, it will flood my system with a fast acting, incurable poison, and I'll die.
