[SIR your AVERSION TO HELPFULNESS. Dahut, who's just vibing in his french orphan clothes sans lab coat (but still with gloves??), is just giving a very mildly confused look.]
Why do you say that like it's a bad thing?

[He is so french and such an orphan... Lucien's looking like an adventurer meanwhile, sasuga.]
Ah. [ONE OF THOSE TYPES. Well.] I can't disagree! Everyone has a reason for doing what they're doing. But, you know - that doesn't mean the purpose is bad.

[HE JUST BECAME A STINKIER PURPLE.]
Hehe, well, I can't argue with that, either. Though I really hope it stays easy! [SMASHCUT TO FRIDAY.] Ah, but if you mean my reason for helping people, I guess it's a little selfish? It makes me sad when people are upset and angry, so I want to see what I can do to make them more comfortable. At my age, you get tired of seeing people hurt and not being able to do anything about it, you know?
[The grand ol age of 15.]

[ Lucien is pacing the hallways, pointlessly, and in the process is spreading a really fun variety of emotions. Paranoia, like an animal pacing the bars of its cage, and an exhaustion so profound the freakin' walls are moving. Maybe someone should actually try sleeping in ... his room ... ? it is clear he did not do this. Sad. ]
It's still an absolutely not on the blood.

[SAD. Why is this man so... sad...
Dahut's vibes, on the other hand, are at first like "oh yay it's purple man!" and then a little concerned and then a little amused. Almost everything he feels seems to be just a tiny bit muted and slightly to the left, like An Approximation Of Human Emotion, but definitely still identifiable.]
Oh - no worries about that in the least! I'd never press the matter and even Monsieur Scien is very conscious about it. [...] You seem tired.

[Very valid of him carry on.]
Even if I couldn't feel how tired you are, it would still be obvious, monsieur. Have you slept at all since you woke up here?

[HE IS LOOKING SO CONCERNED. SIR.]
...Even if you didn't need sleep before you got here, the nanites have changed people down to a biological level for now... Even Monsieur Owner has to eat and sleep when he said he didn't before. If you're on your fourth day without sleep, your psychological functions are going to start suffering, you know?
[They are already clearly suffering they have clearly been suffering from day 1.]
I really think you might feel a little better if you rest and have a proper meal, monsieur.

[There's a little start - literal in that Dahut physically jumps a bit, but also there's a little flicker of surprise in his emotional spread like a burst of static.
He's quiet for a second after that, just sort of Observing this strange man with his freaky lil glowing eyeballs, and then:]
That's why Monsieur Scien and I are working on figuring these nanites out. The sooner we can devise a safe way to remove them and their limits without any harm happening to the hosts, the better it'll be for all of us, so we'll work really hard! But in the meantime, you really should take care of yourself. Will you at least let me get you something from the kitchen, if you won't sleep yet?
["Yet" because he's assuming this dude's gonna hit a limit eventually and pass the heck outtie.]

[Dahut is seeing a chance for him to slide in and get to motherhen this purple man...]
Not much information to be found there, unsurprisingly! But that's where self-study comes into play. I can talk to you a little about it if you come with me to the kitchen!

[Lucien is so funny.
TO THE KITCHEN!!]
Yep! When you introduce a new element to the body that interferes with it on such a tiiiny scale, it makes sense that there would be side-effects. These are some really big ones, though! And even if the science and technology here works differently than what I'm used to, I think those are discrepancies we should keep an eye on.
[Once they're in the mess hall:] Do you have access to the galley?

I know plenty about poisoning your own blood, but there's a reason I didn't join the Mutaters when I was in the Orders. The magic is enough.
[ looking at him with a very `what do you think` expression. ]
Cook was never my job, and I don't intend to start now.

Ah! You're from one of those places... [This is a purple man but he isn't assuming anything after Sidon.] We don't have anything like magic where I'm from, but it all sounds very fascinating! I'd love to learn more about it.
[Either way:] Fair, fair. Then, I'll just grab something quickly and be right back!
[No fancy food for Lucien since he's worried he'll FLEE while he's in the galley, but he will at least come back with some nice croissandwiches with lovely fresh croissants and tasty fillings.]

Places with magic!
[He'll place his nice croissandwiches in the center of a table and take a seat there, folding arms and peering up at this antsy man. He doesn't specifically gesture for Lucien to join him, but the overall vibe of an open invitation is there.]
There are quite a lot of you here! I'm sure that it's driving Monsieur Scien insane. [Said with full amusement...] Someone else was worried about us collecting samples for spells earlier, too.

[AT SOME POINT DURING THE PARTY maybe after all of Lucien's dirty secrets have been aired, some weird pixel bozo approaches.]
Hello! I don't know how to say that in Italian! Please come with me.
