[Oh. Huh. Chemical composition. This is like talking with Waver again back when the boy was doing that fine thing with the alchemy. It's not something he understands since it's beyond his time but he still gets that it's science...stuff. Things he would certainly make a scientist go mad about with all the questions he'd ask.

Looking back to the slimes, he leans forward to see if the poking helps.]

So far I'm not sure how they do their tricks. They've simply been doing them! Ah but you said that this could be a chemical matter?

[Resting his hands on his knees, he watches that slime suddenly cough fire. Hard to tell if it's defensive or if he just does that though. At least as far as he can tell!]
