"It's arrogant to claim to know a lot about science," Cillian muses, as his knife once again separates parasite from host. "There are a multitude of subjects beneath that umbrella, and yet even in my specialization I am far from all-knowing."
[break][break]
He pauses, a smirk playing light along his lips. "But I have a PhD, so I suppose I know more than most. Paleontology."
[break][break]
He seems more amused than annoyed by any curiosity.
[break][break]
"I was a scientist before I was an underboss. Rocket simply has more useful specialists and a lack of soldiers well-seasoned in war."
[break][break]
That alone should give Sage more insight into Cillian, vague though it was.
[break][break]
"You were," he agrees of interrogation, and then, "Your loyalty was more important than the reasons behind it. You wouldn't be the first to be tight-lipped about your past." I certainly was. Rocket hadn't even known his real name until a month ago. "Would you tell me now?"
[break][break]
An option, not a demand.

He had a point. They definitely wouldn’t claim to know a lot about science themself. But that didn’t mean they were completely lacking in that department. Their parents getting them some of the best tutors money could buy to teach them everything they would have to know among other things.
[break][break]
”I was always more interested in history than I ever was science. Though I think that’s more because I’m not fond of math and since math and science often overlap I just wasn’t as interested in science as I could’ve been,” they admitted with a small shrug. Even if they weren’t interested in doing it themself it didn’t mean they didn’t find interest in watching science happen. After all doing and watching were two very different things.
[break][break]
The fact he was a scientist would’ve surprised them if they hadn’t found out he had helped with the serum that turned Kanto Slowpoke into their Galar counterparts. It was mostly because he wasn’t what they would usually picture a scientist to look like. ”Well I say it was a win for rocket than,” they said with a smirk, as they separated another Slowbro from a Shellder.
[break][break]
It didn’t surprise them that he would agree with the interrogation statement. It was part of the reason they had expected the underboss to push them for details during their recruitment. ”I suppose that makes sense. A lot of people are pretty private, so they don’t want to be sharing their life story with others.”
[break][break]
They were a bit confused about what else he would would want to know they had already told him about what their parents had. Did he pick up on the fact they were withholding information? ”The past me was naive and weak,” they told him frowning clearly unsure what else he wanted them to say.[break]

Cillian's eyes shine as he grins.[break][break]

"Ah, I'm fond of history as well, see. It was my second major." Truthfully, there'd been few subjects he hadn't enjoyed; his lesser favourites trended toward the more artistic courses. "Paleontology has a lot of overlap with history, given that it helps us understand the way the ancient world functioned. You're right about the maths, though."[break][break]

He laughs, softly, the sound echoing through a Shellder's carapace.[break][break]

seems confused as to what Cillian expects from him, and so the underboss retracts pressure with a simple, "We're always learning from the past. As I said, loyalty is what matters most."[break][break]

All other things could be worked on, but he was so, so tired of investing his emotions and energy into recruits that would only stab him in the back.[break][break]

"I think we've done all we need to, here."[break][break]

He gestures at their handiwork.

It was interesting that he had two majors. While he hadn’t so much as thought of school since he had been almost killed. Perhaps he could look into teaching himself about that stuff. Or take online classes like , but that would require making a fake online identity which probably wouldn’t be that hard.
[break][break]
”True I could see how paleontology overlaps with history considering it’s the study of fossils,” they agreed. And if it wasn’t for the math aspect they would have more interest in the field of science. But to be fair they weren’t sure why one needed math outside of knowing how to count money. But that was just their opinion.
[break][break]
They were still confused but the underboss simply continued on with the conversation bringing up loyalty again. ”True though rather or not someone chooses to change after learning from their past is the question,” they said with a shrug. Their parents came to mind when they said that. Knowing their parents weren’t the time to learn from their past. Which was while they would keep an eye on their twin when they could.
[break][break]
They looked at what they had done and nodded. ”Sounds good to me, it was interesting to see how it works,” they told him as they slipped their mask back on. ”Guess I’ll see you around,” they said as they exited the lab.[break]
