[ HELP it's fine...at least they are getting somewhere? Anaxagoras may indeed have his gripes, and he has always been a grumpy person, but he's able to get towards knowing this individual in front of him better. ]
I hadn't thought it was a serious consideration.
[ He does have doubts about 'being able to get to it right now', so best way to clear that up is to straight up ask. ]
As for the other matter...
First, why is it I can't reach the lab? Second, after you explain, why not move from tools from the lab to temporarily elsewhere?
[ Anaxagoras is a problem solver, first and foremost. ]
If my inventions are going to end up hurting people, then I would rather use what I know to help them instead.
[ anaxa might not have asked, but foxglove offers it regardless just before addressing the stickiest part of the whole situation here. ]
I haven't been able to figure out why that you all haven't been able to go to the places that we are. The only thing I could imagine is some sort of outside interference.
...it's a lot of equipment to move, you know. I've managed to move some of my smaller instruments to my clinic, so that I don't have to walk as far.
[ Anaxagoras did not ask, but forthright answers are always good, so he isn't going to say it was something unwarranted, either. ]
Outside interference as always seems to be the barrier. How convenient.
[ He sounds particularly bitter about that. It's fine. ]
Either way, if you've already moved some of your smaller instruments, I don't see why some more can't be moved.
Enlist the others to help move the rest, if you haven't already.
We don't know when access will open up to your lab and we don't have time to sit around, praying that suddenly everyone will be able to waltz in just fine.
[ and while it would be extremely easy for foxglove to wither at being scolded and told what to do, (not that what he's saying is particularly wrong ) what it ends up doing instead is starting chuckling softly midway of anaxa's "rant".

Sorry, it's just— [ ahemn. ] Just then, you reminded me of someone.
Having been a Professor simply means that he's liable to go into such rants at any particular point in time. Although he is used to people listening, he hadn't expected to hear laughter at the end of it.
...And then he is told that. Now it makes perfect sense. ]
How so? Is this someone the type to lecture people as well? Or perhaps having taken up a job as a Professor?
[ It's fine, laugh at him, even as he wrinkles his nose at this. Let's all be grateful he was not a horse this week or there would be grumpy stomping.
But, at least he's still listening. ]
I can already imagine why she'd have been ready to make similar demands. Particularly if you were the type to have the words of others at the ready so you can find better solutions.
I assume you must have served her before arriving here, then.
[ Or they were friends - if that is the case, Foxglove can correct him. ]

I did; I was the Head Alchemist of her Imperial Court, but I left shortly after I created Zicterium. [ lowering its head just so. ] She and I had different opinions of how to use it.
[ Anaxagoras sighs like he is deadeyeing a cactus, even if he too is able to move along.
It seems he isn't insulted by it; rather just feeling it is more the type of antics when he was teaching his students at the Grove...and even beyond it. ]
That tends to typically be the case for alchemists.
Rarely is it that institutions or individuals align, for one reason or another. Though...did you regret it?
[ A question worth asking...as far as he's concerned. ]

[ tragically for him, this puppet will chuckle again, softly. ]
She has made similar demands—not about me moving my equipment—but refuting anything that I would say and then offering me solutions for my rebuttals.
[ not entirely sure how he's going to take that information. it's...a positive? ]
She's also very particular.

I'm sorry; it's a compliment, I promise.

Not in the sense of morality, but simply "he had no regrets".
However, it is the second part of the answer that brings surprise. ]
Why would it be something you could accept? Most people when creating something fundamental wouldn't be ready to feel that way.
no subject
However, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't eventually create it anyway.
[ something something fixed timelines and all of that. ]
no subject
Or it just never would have been on your mind at all.
[ Well, that makes sense. Anyway, with all of that in mind, he thinks he's had enough time to talk. ]
...Anyway, I believe that's enough for now. Next time we meet, you can concern yourself with paying attention to what I have to teach.
[ He will turn his back and begin to leave. This is me being nice and sparing your inbox too. ]
