Yelena Alton waited for Arya Azael to lift the lid.
Arya Azael says...
"No take backs."
Yelena Alton rolls their eyes.
Yelena Alton says...
"Yeah, yeah, just open it."
Arya Azael slowly opens the lid.
Inside the leather box was a black, velvety casing around several bright green vials.
Yelena Alton blinked.
Yelena Alton shakes their head.
Yelena Alton says...
"Vials? That's it?"
Yelena Alton glances at Arya Azael, their expression unreadable.
Yelena Alton says...
"You brought me all the way here, struck a weighty deal with me, made this seem like it'll cost everything and they're vials?"
Arya Azael gives them an odd look.
Arya Azael says...
"We believe that this liquid, when inserted into the brain, can do something quite interesting."
Yelena Alton says...
"What?"
Arya Azael doesn't turn to them.
Arya Azael says...
"We're not sure."
Yelena Alton snorts.
Yelena Alton says...
"So we're walking into this blindly. This may very well kill us, and you seem to have so much trust in it."
Arya Azael says nothing.
Yelena Alton sighs.
Yelena Alton says...
"Okay, say that it doesn't kill us. What will we do if it gives us, what, superhuman powers?"
Arya Azael shrugs.
Arya Azael says...
"I don't know. But we might as well test it out."
Yelena Alton sighs.
Yelena Alton says...
"I don't have anything better..."
Arya Azael glances at them.
Nothing better. Not nothing better to do, or nothing better to want. Nothing better.
Yelena Alton turns to them.
Yelena Alton says...
"Look, I'm trusting you and your stupid company here. If I die, I'm blaming you!"
Arya Azael stares at them.
Arya Azael laughs.
Really laughs.
Arya Azael says...
"Well, it seems like there won't be anyone around to do the blaming."
Yelena Alton opens their mouth, and closes it.
Yelena Alton says...
"Fine. Where do we get started?"
