[ THERE WAS NONE TO OBTAIN!!! rather, it turned into something else when you all left.
but also?? that information isn't going to make him very happy to know or learn. though, for a hot second, he's going to hope that it isn't what he think it is. haha? ]
I've discovered many things in my life so far, but I have a feeling it's something specific.

What Ludger and I witnessed focused on your discovery of zicterium, I'm afraid. We...
[ There's a pause, and he has to look away, down, for a moment, grimace, to recover himself, but when he continues, it's still just him. ]
...we saw the outcome. We started in the queen's palace, and then went to your larger lab, the one you had before here, and then. [ The pause here this time is more over the horror of what was seen, and he tries to think of how to put it. ] Then the... where it was tested, on all of those people.

[Hey there, Victor. What's happening.]
....We saw your friend, Lupin. He helped us. [...] And also heard about your "princess". Cardia.

[ so much has been happening...and the absolute state of his mental health right now where he can't decide on if he wants to have be happy or sad. but he'll settle on "happy" mainly because of what julius told him earlier. ]
Did he? [ we're. gently going to avoid cardia. ] What kind of trouble were you guys getting yourselves into?

The circumstances of one miss Cardia Beckford, it seems, before she left wherever it was she was told to remain. A bit of your London, the circumstances that led to your becoming a fugitive.
... one of your friends, apparently.
[ We'll start off with this before we get into all the blue, blue, blue, and what it means about Cardia. ]

[ he might have already said it to ludger but it doesn't change things here. it's a sight that fran has forgotten about nor will it ever be something he'll forget for as long as he's alive. ]
I'm sorry...that you had to see that. That it was something you had to experience.
[ BUT ALSO WHY? ]

[ fugitive....
look, "running from the law" was on his profile. they shouldn't have been too surprised when it was not a hyperbole. that said, he'll focus on the things that are pleasant. he was already a wet cat in public the first time. ]
That's...quite an interesting thing to see.

I don't think much of a battle happened there.
... Were you there, too? When it... happened.
Interestingly pointed too, that I'm assuming our locations were related mostly because of the person involved rather than... the subjects? Covered, like with the others.
[ Well. It sounds like what Ludger and Childermass saw might have just related to Fran more, but. ]
... I'll be blunt. Miss Cardia Beckford. How is she related to the blue stones, or whatever it is Thancred has brought up about the Philosopher's Child? I don't think it's coincidence that her touch supposedly has the same effects as those other products of alchemy mentioned.

[ Over here, having woken up for a bit, sitting. He doesn't look all that well still...but it is what it is. ]
Yes, it appeared that was the case.
He was artificial - had to be - considering he had no normal heartbeat. The whispers spoke about 'something almost becoming complete', 'if only they had the correct person" and then "Filius Phosophorum" also being mentioned.
Then there was that odd, deranged man that appeared in a child's body - Isaac, was his first name. He was talking about forcing a war with his children. We met him in a room filled with disturbing...body parts in tanks.

Then I'm sorry you had to see it too.
[ he's sorry it ever happened, mainly ]

Eh, just going around London, enjoying the sights. We tried to get in to see the king at one point. He was disguised as a guard.
[Classic thief things.]
How did you meet a guy like that?

It would have been a much more controlled test if you had merely given it to me first.
[ ...huh? Childermass?! It slips out without much of a fight, and after, Childermass looks supremely annoyed, and he scowls, gaze flitting elsewhere, to nowhere at all really as he mutters, ]
...must you? This is not the time...
