Engrav needed a second. Too much stimulation here, too many trolls begging for attention, way too much shiny and needy and generally exhausting. He took a deep breath, held it in, released.
Too much food. That snack table was deadly.
Across the mass of troll bodies, he caught the eye of one of the trolls he'd been meaning to catch alone. He'd been mentioned to Engrav by their mutual friend as someone the yellowblood had to meet. He waved across the room, started to make his way over. Only bumped into one or two trolls on his way, which was better than usual.
Finally, he arrived at the Purpleblood's corner. The relaxed-looking troll was lounging against a pillar, looking bored. Engrav could sympathize, although he wasn't much one for lounging. "So." Engrav started, straightening up a bit, readjusting his vest. "It's good to meet you. Didn't really get a chance to chat before, troll to troll."

Cerpin's body language said casual. Relaxed. Engrav read into that, mimicked it just a little. Relaxed his back, his shoulders, hands fell into pockets. He was pretty sure the purpleblood was on guard. At least, he would have been. But maybe the purpleblood was just that carefree. Wasn't like he was gonna get culled anytime soon. Engrav slapped a smile on his face.
"I'm definitely here for the ships. You know there aren't any records on how a ship's navigator actually interfaces with the ship? How they fly them? We know that navigators have to be skilled psychics, but we don't actually know the process by which the tell the ship to go. Or at least..." he trailed off. "At least the general public doesn't. I suspect there's some kind of direct interface, and if that's true, then it could be really useful in all sorts of stuff."
The yellowblood held up his prosthetic.
"This, for instance. Not a huge fan of moving based on muscular impulse. I think there's some way to plug directly into a troll's thinkpan up there. That would help enormously with articulation, maybe even sensation if calibrated correctly." Engrav turned back in to Cerpin. Was the bored look his imagination?
"Well, I won't bore you with hypotheticals. We actually have another mutual friend. Caiden said if I had a chance, I should come say hi." He checked the purpleblood for reaction, eager to see the mask crack, if only for a second.

Engrav stiffened a little as Cerpin took his arm and led him deeper into the shadows. He'd been expecting it just a little bit, but he certainly hadn't been looking forward to it. He made a little show of not being bothered by the contact, and leaned back against the wall, arms crossed. He was pretty sdure he had a good read on the purpleblood at this point. Confident, some might even say arrogant. He cared about his friends, but clearly wasn't above using them as the brunt of jokes if he could make himself seem witty. He was comfortable with contact, and Engrav suspected he would use that for leverage if he could. And he was in to something complicated. It could be anything, but hopefully it wasn't too unsavory. Cerpin wasn't going to space to sight-see, that was for sure. But whatever it was, the attention Engrav had gotten when he'd mentioned Caiden had focused the purpleblood like a laser beam.
Which meant Caiden was probably into it too. He didn't know how he felt about that. He wished Caiden had just told him. He didn't like secrets between the two of them. Engrav knew that Caiden just couldn't really say no to people.
That also meant that he had to move very carefully. If he was too suspicious, it might make make Caiden seem untrustworthy if he'd shared info that he shouldn't. Engrav could tell he'd stumbled onto something here. Cerpin was looking him right in the eye. He looked right back, giving him nothing.
"Caiden? We've met a couple times." Engrav shrugged, tried to seem uninterested. "We're not super close, but he's got interesting ideas. He's definitely one of those trolls everyone would like to get to know better, you know?"
