[rei blinks. wow, okay, that sort of reaction is what he would expect from himself to getting drugged, not this priest whose world has only in the past few years has broadened beyond the church's doorstep. he expected more alarm, honestly, but considering olivine isn't making a big deal out of it, rei won't either.

but he sure as hell will take note of it to investigate later.]

Do you remember where it happened? And do you remember what symptoms you were experiencing at the time in relation to your essence? It would be best if I double-checked your essence levels to ensure there are no residual side-effects from the drugs.

[especially after last time olivine's essence went haywire... rei doesn't have his special needle now. in any case, he brings up the notepad app on his watch and types in a few key phrases he wants to remember. he's in researcher mode and in his element with not a single vulnerability in sight now that his curiosity has been provoked.]

I'm interested in comparing your essence output between a clan member and other people not native to Klein, but that can be a discussion for later as I would need to be present for the latter, and I am currently the only other clan member here for the first data point.
