I have many, many creatures in my laboratory that I study. [And breed, and experiment on, and dissect once they die.] I would like for you to care for a particularly young specimen for a few days.
A chimera. Have you heard of them, or shall I explain?
[Casually peeling off her slightly-stained gloves to expose hands made entirely of bones before replacing them with clean gloves fished out from a pocket.]
Yes. I'm curious to see how one will behave when exposed to humans.
[A drawer is opened, rifled through, until a folder full of papers is removed and set out beside the beakers.]
Please take these instructions with you and follow them carefully.
[Stepping over to a particular cage to begin undoing the lock.]
Ah, another thing: it's young enough to be harmless, as both the poison sacs and fire glands have not yet developed. But any of the three heads might nip you, so be cautious.
[She gently removes the mewling, behhhh-ing, hissing creature from its cage and cocks her horned head at the question, holding the chimera expertly as it wriggles.]
I've given it the designation of C-007, but you may nickname it something else if you wish.
[He takes it gently, letting it put its paws on his shoulder as he holds it. It's goat head is already pulling on his mohawk. He doesn't seem to mind.]
Will do.
[He'd give her a salute or a wave or something, but. Y'know. Baby chimera in his arms.
But before he goes or anything -]
What's your name, anyway? I'm Ventus, on Ratatoskr.

[Thumps his chest. Yep, durable.
He's really excited wow.
Also, stepping forward to take the papers and give them a quick readthrough as she unlocks that cage.]

[That does not sound like a bad thing, to him.
He folds the instructions, and hides it somewhere in his uniform.
... And then holds out his arms for it. Gimme.]
If I do, I'll make sure it's not something stupid.

[Another bony smile as she hands it over.]
As you'd like. Please look after it for three days.
