AIKAWA KANEMARU.
That was an answer that gave Kanemaru pause once again. It seemed like a risky answer, really. Admitting that Vale had secondary intentions seemed like a good way to get anyone else to mistrust xim, but then, Kanemaru wasn't anyone else. Surprisingly, he appreciated the upfront-ness about it.
And, of course, he knew what one of Vale's goals was; xe wanted to establish some kind of trust relationship so Kanemaru would willingly help fix the island with minimal chance of running off or taking flight one random Thursday, and all that jazz that Kane didn't particularly care about. But Vale had said goals, and Kane was observant enough to have noticed the plural.
His eyes narrowed in thought. "Creatures like them," a non-committal gesture in the vague direction of everywhere, insinuating those that weren't psychopaths, "are destroying nature, and I'm trying to fix it. They're not smart enough to know better, I suppose. And I... Want to make them smarter. Genetic enhancements, and all that." Though, admittedly that was proving harder than he'd thought. Kanemaru's research wasn't making the progress he'd anticipated.
"What are your goals here?"
