Danico takes a moment to ponder her answer, his glare never wavering as he listens to what she has to say. He blinks and shifts in his position, directing his body language to be more direct with her. "That's fair." He says after a moments silence. Go back before any of this agreement happened and he would have disagreed, but since they're technically partners in business now- to some extent- it was only fair that she at least knew who she was dealing with. 

"Danico." He answers, barely giving more than a straight answer in his voice, he sits the book down beside him to give the shifter his full attention. "I'm an alchemist, apothecary and scientist." Though his answers were obvious, covering the basics was usually good practice to begin with. He continues after taking a deep breath, puffing out the sides of his mask. "I put study first, work second and everything else third." The alchemist clasps his hands together in front of him, resting his elbows on his knees as where he sits. "I dabble in the dark arts, the supernatural and I have a particular fondness for.. *Rare* And *Strange* Creatures." Danico looks the Shifter up and down as he mentions his fondness for creatures, gesturing that she is one of the very creatures he speaks of. "However. I won't speak of my history to the mirror, let alone any person. But if this deal continues and you continue to be curious after the fact, then maybe I might answer."

The shifter was honestly surprised by his response. Even though she was pushing him for answers, the shifter had only expected a name the least. Toula was more than pleased she receive more than hoped, understanding that he was the type of man who cared little about his life outside of his study and work. 

"Well, Danico." She tested the word on her tongue, enjoying the fact she now knew his name. Toula wished to continue working with the Alchemist, seeing a huge advantage in doing so. Perhaps she could learn new things about herself that she hadn't known before. The shifter didn't know what the man was capable of, besides what she had witnessed first hand. She would have to be patient. "We shall see how our arrangement ends, hopefully it shouldn't." 

Toula took a step back from Danico, having gotten the answers she sought. Now, she was happy to give the alchemist what he needed without hesitations. "Now, what was *Your* Next question."
Lilli
"I'm glad you feel that way" He responds, sitting up in the chair. "Given how our relationship started, with my assumption of your intelligence being less than that of what you've proven it to be, answering your questions is, in the least, deserved." Danico nods at the shifter as she mentions her want for the arrangement to continue. He, too, hopes it would continue, after all. He's learned a lot from the girl about shifters and that potion he had invented too. 

"So, Toula." He continues, ready to question again as he picks the book back up, quill at the ready. "How did you end up in your position?" He questions, a question that he knew she might not want to answer, a question that might not even seem relevant, but he had his reasons and he would stick to them. "You seem to be somewhat of a wildling, no? Where do you call home?" Danico looks at the shifter with the somewhat awkward question, possibly pushing boundaries at this point. Though if he can't push boundaries then what kind of scientist would he be.
Rebecca
"Well you're not all wrong." She knew she had the same intelligence as an average human that would often be clouded by instinct, but not many Shifter's were fortunate enough to educate themselves the way Cecilia had. They preferred to stay far from civilisation, adapting to their animalistic nature and barely, if ever, shifted into their human forms. "Many shifter's remained in the forests, refusing to communicate with humans so they were never able to expand their knowledge. Eventually some just allowed their animalistic natures take over." Like Cecilia had started to do. 

Her reaction darkened towards his question, the irises that surrounded her pupils lightened to a icy blue shade. "Bradai Maith and a lot of stupid mistakes that Cecilia had made." She snarled out, not bothering to use the Pirate King's title. Toula struggled to explain why exactly so she decided to move onto his next question, but before she did so, the shifter inhaled deeply to calm herself. "We don't have a home, so I guess you could call us that. I travel from kingdom to kingdom, keeping within populated cities just to stir some fun but Cecilia prefers the forest where she can avoid humans."
Lilli
"Interesting" He says in response to her mention of Shifters staying in forests, confirming his suspicion of them being mere animals, but also explaining away the rare shifter that stands in front of him. "Explains why I had assumed you were naught but an animal when I first captured you. I've been studying your kind from a distance for some time so it's good to get answers straight from the source." He mentions idly as he writes her answers down in his book.

"So, bad blood with the pirate king?" He pushes, taking the conversation back a notch once he had finished writing in his book. "Must say, I never expected you of all to be, in any case, involved with Maith himself." He puts the book back down in his lap, looking back to the shifter once again to give her his attention. "And you say you stir *Fun*? What do you mean by fun, Toula?" Danico kinks his eyebrow a little as he awaits her reaction and/or response, blinking once for what seems to be the first time since she arrived at this meeting.
