Kadaj gave a loud sigh. "I know it doesn't work like that, Roy-- that's just the closest thing we have to it on Gaia. Weren't you paying attention?" He shrugged, then went on without waiting for an answer. "It's interesting that you say it's a science, though-- no offense, but you really don't seem like the sort who'd be involved that field. Seems like it has a wider application than the science on our world does, but then ours seems more interested in making completely innocent people into lab experiments. They don't do that where you live, do they?"

He started laughing at that, not because he found it funny (quite the opposite, really, after what they'd done to Mother), but because... just because? That was reason enough.

Unfortunately, whatever undoubtedly off color remark he was thinking up next would have to wait because that was when the blond woman arrived. Kadaj fought back his immediate frown (he just knew she was going to be trouble later) and stayed silent, more from curiosity than anything resembling politeness. The two of them obviously knew each other, but beyond that.. well, he'd just have to wait and see.
