I did say ethics. Poking around in someone's office isn't going to release a century of misery onto the people; victimless crime. [So that's still on the table, certainly. If he wants to break into a Scholar's office instead of take a whole lecture course, that's fine, Viktor can come too. In fact, he should.]
And I'd say a bit of both. One day I'd like to meet whoever came up with the Oversight Body and give them a generous kick in the ass.
[Viktor can help with this, too, if only in the 'talking shit about the Oversight Body' department. Palamedes twists sideways on the couch, leaning his elbows back on the lumpy arm of it, to further consider Real Jobs.
First of all, this is flattery— like, he won't object, but it is. Somewhere in the squid sea Camilla is rolling her eyes, but Palamedes enjoys it; he will add 'man of action' and 'clearly better (more thorough) than local practitioners, possibly best even' to his list of reasons to investigate the blood ministering practice more.]
I'm going to introduce myself like that from now on. Master Warden of the Sixth, subtitle: man of action. [well, a light tease, but his smile is genuine.] You were talking about wanting to do good here; so do I. As wildly off-putting as Lumenwood is, [with the blood mist, gross] it's worth seizing the opportunity.
[And also... blood ministers do come into a lot of, ah, loose blood... if perhaps he made blood healing into a work study of what the different bloods are best suited for, well, even better for the bloodstone project (tm).
Regardless, it feels good to be proactive— and without the threat of looming sea monster, like his last attempt to get ahead of Trench's many problems. It's, ha, actionable, and he's grateful to have Viktor's support to lean on, when he needs to. Hm; that's sentimental, definitely. It's sentimental whenever Palamedes feels a desperate rush of gratitude for a friend, but it being Viktor adds another layer automatically, now.
Hmm!]
Of course, I'll still have no sense of what makes a reasonable lab hour, so that isn't going to change. [haha. yeah.]
