'Further our resources'?

[katsuragi_yako]

Knowledge is a resource.

[distantallure]

Only when it's true.

[katsuragi_yako]

Are you good at finding out what's true?

[distantallure]

Are you? [By means of sarcastic answer, it is safe to take that as a no.]

[distantallure]

Just like everyone else.

[katsuragi_yako]

Only human -- in a manner of speaking!

[distantallure]

You mean only humans.

[katsuragi_yako]

[ She looks at Yazoo with curiosity BURNING IN HER --- with curiosity. ]

Most people are looking for things most their lives. Restless probably isn't the best word, but no one's really sedate. Things motivate them forward, keep them moving. I do empathize with that.

[ A bit frustrated. Why's she explaining to him?

...Probably because it's just what she does. ]
