Oh... yeah, I see! [He straightens up now, carefully taking the origami and letting it sit on the palm of his hand.] That's really stellar. I've heard of alchemy before, but I didn't think it was something like this...

[And with that in mind, he glances down at the circles Al's working on.] So is there some kind of alchemy project you're working on right now?

[thebloodseal]

In some worlds, alchemy never did much- it was people trying to find a way to turn metal into gold. Our alchemy began that way, but it developed far beyond and went into changing all forms of matter.

[He nodded, hating that he had to lie to Clay, but having prepared a story.]

I'm trying to figure out how to transmute the walls of the ship, in fact. I wouldn't dare do it while we were out in space, but I thought it might be handy to be able to rearrange the walls or make repairs in case we suffer damage. But I'm having trouble with it, since I don't know the chemical composition of the walls. I thought that maybe if I wrote down my ideas, I might get somewhere.

[geonomy]

Hmmm... That sounds like a good idea. Would the walls stay that way for long, though? I just don't think Atroma would approve of having the walls of one of their ships all rearranged for something.

[He doesn't sound disapproving, because it is a good idea. He's just not sure if it would work for long.]

But I like it. [He grins, reaching up (and up and up) to clap his shoulder approvingly.] If you can get it to work, I think it'd really help out our ship.

[thebloodseal]

That's a good point. I wouldn't do anything drastic, but I'm sure they like everything being the way THEY want it.

[Al wished he could smile at Clay, but he has to be content with nodding.]

I think so, too- and I want to do what I can to earn my keep here. "He who does not work shall not eat". ... not that I need to eat.
