The transaction between the two grinded to a halt. The old man and fiery redhead started at one another. The old killer struggled with how to feel in light of becoming an afterthought. As they spoke, he gave them a fair birth with a step or two back and folded his arms over his chest. The news of some injection and her age made way to Lye's ears and he took interest with a raised brow.

'Experimented on a minor..?' He thought. 'I wonder what concoctions this old codger has conjured up.'

They continued and the sideways glance from the old alchemist pulled more of Lye's interest. He was up to something. Perhaps he was something of a madman? Memories of Madison dredged up from the back of his mind and a grin formed at the corner of his mouth.

As though provoked, Daisuke turned to him and issued a proposal.

'My silence?' Lye chuckled audibly beneath the hood. 'How quaint.'

"I could care less about what you're doing here or what you've done." The words left his lips emotionless and flat. "But... consider me interested."

Lye turned a glance to the redhead as she showed signs of panic. Mention of other test subjects came to light and the plot thickened. What was about to unfold, Lye wondered. He could taste the tension in the air. Despite this, the redhead heeded the beckons. With nothing better to do, so did the veteran assassin.
