As he placed his limbs on the goop once more, pulling it back towards himself, his eyes noticeably changing focus based on how the flakes all shifted towards the ball. This was his life's work. Obviously not this one specifically, the one taken from the corpse of some poor random sod he had happened to find that was available, but the concept of essence itself - ever since he had first laid his eight eyes upon it he had known this was his purpose, and almost every day since he had spent figuring it out, improving how he touched it, changed it. Even when he was talking to people or performing a task he always had his thoughts focused on essence, regardless of if it was his own or someone else's.
His fellow scientist seemed shocked. Not in awe, or in disgust, but in that sharp feeling of new knowledge being shoved upon you that sort of overloaded anyone, depending on how severe of a revelation this was. He wondered if her world was being turned upside down, or if this was just a neat thing to her. If it was a curiosity or something that seemed to explain so much.
He thought on what she said for a few seconds, some of his eyes flicking towards her, while the rest were still focused on the blob in his grasp, which was currently being turned as if he was looking for something on its surface. "Yes, manipulated own essence, made eyes react to emotions." He sort of assumed that the "this" she was referring to essence in general, and not this specific essence - he gave people the benefit of the doubt most of the time, until they proved it to be given unfairly. "Essence is main focus of own research. Have also developed medical skills, general biology knowledge. Essence, relatively more important to self." He thought for a moment about what she might be interested in, and decided to say, "Also able to manipulate essence of subjects other than self."
