I hear you got Interesting Guts [Liltotto, Ehefra]

Huh. Well that was auspicious.

Ehefra naturally had taken a lot of time to look into the members of the Vandenreich. After the whole Ichigo fiasco, she had taken it upon herself to identify who had the most potential for growth and development. Their abilities. their progress as of late. Not only as a means of collecting information, but also as a means of investigation those changes. Everyone seemed to be getting stronger. In their own ways, at their own paces. Well...everyone but herself. But she preferred not to think too much about that.

But during that investigation, Ehefra had found something interesting. She had scanned a number of individuals. The fights at the Arena had proven a very healthy source of information. But in all of her scans and surveillance, one outlier was particularly strange.

Liltotto Lamperd.

Daughter of Giselle Gewelle, whom had recently retired due to injuries susstained from the Kurosaki Incident. And something of an enigma that surpassed even her mother. Giselle certainly had had some interesting abilities, but those still seemed quincy in Nature. Liltotto's didn't quite.

And so she had reached out, to ask Liltotto to come to Steingruft. And, apparently, she ad accepted. And now Ehefra sat in the lab, humming as she waited for Liltotto to make her way into the place. A little smile on her face. Certainly people had had some interesting reactions to her redesign of the area. Those pale, featureless walls that simply dissolved rather than conventional doors. The sudden shift in architecture from normal building to such large, open spaces seemingly made from pure white marble that could shift at the push of a button.

Well, Ehefra's own work area was ... less than awe inspiring. Actually it was a bit of a mess. But all the same, she pushed that aside. waiting for her guest to arrive.

Ehefra snorted softly and stood up, making her way over and flashing a half smile. "Man, you look nervous." She chimed, certainly clocking the tension in the air. That look of confusion. Ehefra promptly SHOVED away from her desk, rolling her way over to Liltotto with her roller chair.

"How you been? I recall you being pretty on edge the last time we spoke. You doing alright? I've certainly been.... quite a bit better than I was when we last talked. I admit, I was also a bit of a bitch. So uh.... thanks for not being mad about that." she noted with a lopsided smile. A moment taken to look over Liltotto. Truly the girl seemed so different...

"It's kinda crazy. Not that long ago you were this tiny little thing. I remember when you first joined." He chuckled, sighing before waving her hand. "Sorry, didn't mean to get all, reminiscent. I actually called you here because I was going through some data. I've done a lot of analysis of different Vandenreich members. Understanding quincy powers in general has helped me a lot with developing my own." She pointed out, gesturing to a holographic display. Showing a number of profiles for a number of the Vandenreich members. Before finally, shifting to Liltotto herself.

Ehefra snorted softly at the pure nonchallant reaction to her own transformation. Just gonna gloss over that huh? She flashed a little smile and drummed her fingers along the table as Liltotto continued to give sich an incredulous little look about the mention of her own ....powers. But Ehefra couldn't help the little chuckle that bubbled up as a result.

"Oh absolutely. I've made note of your developing quincy powers. Good progress all things considered. But nothing exemplary. But you had powers even before you started delving into Quincy stuff, right?" She noted with a cool, calm smile, folding her arms across her chest as she regarded Liltotto rather neutrally.

There was a shift in the display, and promptly a very large amount of data was put out in front of her. Energy outputs. Frequencies. And a lot of binary data.

"I'm pretty unique for a quincy. I learned to do everything to the tune of ones and zeroes. I tried my spirit energy like a computer language. And so, when it comes to things I scan with my powers. I get a pretty mechanical readout of the stuff. And mechanically speaking. Your powers are only incrementally similar to a Quincy's in some spots. But you have a NUMBER of abilities that aren't quincy at all. As a matter of fact, I don't even recognize what kind of patterns some of the abilities you have are." She noted folding her hands in her lap and leaning forward in her chair.

"A phenomena I'm very interested in."

Ehefra raised a brow ever so slightly at that and that smile deepends just a little.

Hm~

Her own head canted a bit to the side, as that soft hum of intrigue escaped her. As if something that Liltotto had just said were...entertaining. "Only your spiritual energy isn't anything like a hollow's. Not any more than it seems like a Quincy's.and I have PLENTY of examples of individuals whose powers seem derived from hollow exposure." She noted causally enough. Dismissing the notion that the woman had simply developed from hollow exposure.

"And on that note. Eating a hollow isn't something a normal person can endure. Not without serious consequences. If you were eating hollows, then you were special far before you decided to put one in your mouth." She closed her eyes and let out a soft little sigh. "You've been around for quite a while. Lil. I'm sure you've seen a lot. But even so, I don't imagine your value your time any less." She let the display go dark.

"Whatever you are? I'm very interested in it. In fact, I'd like to collect more data. If that's alright with you. Not for free of course. You're still learning how to grow and develop as a quincy. Aren't you? I'm sure you're well aware that I'm one of the more Talented Quincy around. I'm not the Administrator of the Sterngruft for nothing. I can help you develop and nurture your Quincy powers. Training. Equipment. Even analysis of your own quincy powers and release to identify areas of improvement. After all. Whatever else you have going on, is going to influence your qunicy powers. If I learn about your other powers. I can help you best learn how to utilize them in unison. And in exchange. You let me collect data. Maybe have you run a few tests and trials. I just wanna learn about what it is that makes you you Of course you can say no. And you can bow out at any time. Not like I'm gonna make you sign any wavers or anything." She noted calmly enough. Watching Liltotto as she delivered her explanation and her offer.

Truth be told? It wasn't like she WASN'T going to get the data anyway. She could always just gather data from afar. But the woman's cooperation would expedite thew process considerably, and allow explorations otherwise likely impossible into the finer details of things. And it wasn't like she didn't have anything to offer back. She was one of the most Talented Quincy around, in a technical sense at least. who else could boast the ability to do what she did with her powers?

A pause.

Several seconds going by as she ....stared a little at Liltotto. That was ..... it? Just 'yea sure'? The look of confusion was very clear on Ehefra's face, and she took several moments to peer a little at Liltotto. She wasn't serious was she? "You don't....want to like....think it over or anything? I AM asking to basically study you. I even mention potential experiments. And you're just....on board?" She murmured with a hint of incredulity. A little sigh escaping her as she leaned back in her chair. Clearly a little disappointed.

"Goddammit, and I went through all the-...alright sure. Well. If you're that blasé about it. I guess that's better than nothing." She murmured, fucking europeans. She reached up and slowly rubbed her eyelids. "Well alright then. I admit I didn't exactly expect you to just hop on board. But we'll start simple." She noted calmly enough and promptly hopped up to her feet, whistling through her teeth as her little Cube companion Beeps promptly floated up from around the desk, carrying a little band beneath it. She plucked the item from it's little grasp and patted the little AI on the head before making her way toward Liltotto.

"We'll start with this. I'd like you to wear this and keep it on you whenever possible. It's just a simple scanner. It'll keep an eye on your spirit energy and fluctuations. your outpit, the intensity, form, structure. All that shit. You don't have to wear it twenty-four seven, even if that WOULD be some good data. Just at least make sure you wear it when you're training or out in active duty. First I'll need to get a more regular sense of what your soul is doing day to day and when it's ding it's job. We start with some data volume, and then we can narrow things down from there."
