Szayel had perked up at the mention of Hojo and research. Although for a brief second he'd cast L a grouchy look at the way he sounded as though he was backing Neliel's sentiment up and giving reasons that studying this new girl would not be necessary, he soon dropped that look.
"You're in possession of all Professor Hojo's research?" He asked, sounding a little bit like a small child being told Warsend was tomorrow. Shinra had, obviously, kept it, but now everyone that worked in a position to have had access to it was dead, which meant that research was now sitting there, untouched. No one else in the world had access to it. As far as the world at large was concerned, that research was lost.
Except that it wasn't, it was right here in the building with Szayel.
He felt like a little kid at Warsend.
"That could take years to go through, you realise? You're hardly in a fit state to tackle a task of that magnitude right now. I've already told you that you shouldn't be trying to work on anything for more than a couple of hours at a time, and you need frequent, regular sleep, or you'll only hamper your own recovery." He couldn't help the slight, supercilious little smirk that crossed his face. "Someone competent should be assigned to the task. Right now, L, that is not you."
