Tucker has not been interested at all in the happenings at his house. One can think he is incautious, but one can't really blame him. people just pass through his house and group about, no dinner to be seen and just why should he lock the doors? Alexander is surely around to warn him with his barking and he's got his skills. Not to mention the Walther P 38. gun in the drawer in his study - which he is currently in.
He lists through yellowed pages of one heavy tome on "Alchemic schemes for experts detailed and extended" and gets really drawn into the text - ignoring all about and around.

Envy sneaked secretely in the house, shaped as a random military soldier. Nobody noticed him. He was standing right behind Tucker. *Mr Tucker?* he said in a calm voice.

He snapped out from his readings with an annoyed hiss. He looks towards the soldier and pushes the spectacles up his nose: "Can I help you, soldier?"

*I heard some interesting things Mr. Tucker,* said Envy. That you despise the military, for it doesn't treat you properly.* He laughed. *Do not mistake me. I am no soldier.* He transformes in his original form. *I am a representative of a higher power. And we would like you to join our services. We have much to offer you.* He took a red stone from his pocket and held it in front of Tucker.

Backs away so abruptly that he not only drops the tome, but also knocks off more books off the shelves.
"What do you think of me?!"
Stares at the stone...

*Do you like creating chimeras?* asked Envy, moving closer to him. *We can grant you the ultimate power. Even these!* He puts out more red stones. *This is your chance to show your qualities!*

Considers it, then recoils:
"For whom? What exactly do you want!?"
Tries to get to his drawer with the gun.

*What do we want? What is our ultimate goal?* He leans to him and whispers: *Have you heard about the philosophers stone?*

His eyes widen and seem to shine. he breaths out a simple: "Yes" and fixes his attention towards the creature. "That's what i am trying to... I mean..." He looks away and then back. "What do you know about it?"

Looks at the guy and ponders his chances. He is really stuck in his research now and is desperate for any clues. He looks hesitantly around: "What will you have me to do to get the information about teh Philosopher's stone?"
He looks pretty ready to accept, be the stakes reasonable for him.

*You will get all the information!* whispers Envy in Tucker's ear. *Just think about your Chimera research powered by the philosopher's stone.*

Opens his mouth as to say that would be great, but no sound escapes. he simply nods. His pupils dilate as his mind runs through all the possibilities! I could do anything! Any chimera! Even a talking one that would actually WANT to carry on - that would WANT to show off its skills and show the others what a good and skillful alchemist I really am!
"Yes..."

*I am glad you have accepted* Said Envy. *You know where is the Fifth Laboratory, don't you? Come tomorow at midnight. You can take the girl and dog, but nobody else may be there. We will supply you with everything. And don't even think of telling this to somebody. My master is great ally but terrible enemy. I will meet you there!* he transforms back to the soldier and creeps out of the house.

Stands there, bit in doubt, but also in pride! Finally had somebody discovered his talents.
He will go to the Fifth Laboratory and see, how it all is. He quickly scans the room lest there be somebody in there and then pretends like nothing had happened.
It is quiet in the house.

Winrey heard Tucker to someone so she headed to where she heard the voices but when she arrived she was surprised to find that no one was there with Tucker. I must have imagined it. "Hi Mr. Tucker, Al and I have returned. Ed is on a mission for military and wanted us to stay here until he returned, if that is okay with you."

Turns around and gives her an unusual warm smile, pretending nothing happened and looking convincing:
"Of course, that's just fine."
Who cares now anyway, I'll be off, so at least there will be somebody in here.
"There are many free rooms, just throw the books out."
But they will be looking for you!
"By the way, how is the dinner looking? That is, if you still want to cook it."
I'll just have to get out and get lost - that's it.
[[Thoughts in between]]

Tucker's smile surprised Winrey a little but she brushed it off. "Thanks Mr. Tucker. I really appreciate your hospitality. I will go finish dinner for you, Nina, Al and me." She smiled and headed to the kitchen.
I wonder what Ed is up to now in Lior, I hope he is safe.

He nods and returns his attention to another book.
The house continues to be quiet.
Nina is in the living room drawing her sweet pictures and Alexander is snoozing next to her.

Winrey sighed when she took the cover off her stew and saw that it was scorched. I knew I should have turned off the burner before pouring the milk on Ed. She took the pot off the sink and dumped the scorched stew into the garbage. Now what am I going to make. We didn't get anymore milk.
She walked out to where Tucker was. "Um, the stew I was making got scorched so I was wondering if there was anything else you would like me to make?"
