He didn't follow up with a question as to who Even was, either. Hojo already had the information he needed on that count. What Even called himself didn't matter. Hojo knew how he was going to be noted in his records, and that was the only designation Hojo cared for.
"I'm a scientist," he added, a touch unnecessarily, perhaps. The white coat should have been a giveaway, but Hojo had found it paid not to overestimate the intelligence of others. So often, Hojo had found they fell short of the mark, and the few he'd met in the Palace certainly had up to now. "I study unusual specimens such as yourself," he continued, "though you're the first Ryoka I've had the opportunity to personally observe."
