[ She nods as she heads for the tea station, returning with a tray that holds a few biscuits and a pair of lightly steaming cups of green tea. She'll put it down on the coffee table, one faced towards him. ]
Yes, I'm Makima. I'm a devil. That's why I thought I might be able to assist you.
[ She takes a seat on a cushion across from the couch. ]
[ Now where did you hear about that is the question Elias wants to ask, but almost immediately knows it's pointless. Of course he isn't the only one on this Barge gathering information about what people want.
He sits forward in his chair, apparently eager at the proposition that's being dangled in front of him. ]
That's-- a tempting offer. Not your own eyes, I assume.
[ She shakes her head and doesn’t do much as gesture as a small jerboa-like mouse creature bounces up onto the coffee table. It stares at him the same way she does, ears turning to pick things up. It might explain a few things.]
Theirs.
Possibly more if you have something worthwhile to offer me.
Under normal circumstances I might have a plethora of information to offer, but thanks to the Admiral I am, as you've guessed, entirely without any of my usual abilities.
I can offer my entirely ordinary services to try to get any information you're interested in?

[ But he keeps his gaze on the small creature, like he's entirely taken with it. ]
What is it that I can do for you?
no subject
I can't take years of your life.
Taking parts of your body is almost useless.
I'm not sure what you have. So you'll have to offer.
[ As she speaks, a couple more of the little jerboa creatures pop up to join their friend. ]

[ She leans in a little. ]
My power is... suppressed. But not all of it. Is there even a sliver left?
no subject
[ he's still looking at the small creatures. Hm. ]
no subject
If you'd like to make a deal. For a little set of eyes. Or two.
