Nutty frowned, picking up on the tension in the air between Nevali and Kaii. She recalled all too well that same tension between herself and Took once, albeit in a different direction. He'd been all action and heroics, diving in without thinking of the consequences. They'd been the cautious one, logical, a thinker. They had both argued their approaches many a time before they'd found a respectful balance between them. Hear him out, Minister Rainblade's urging voice reminded her. He might just see things you don't.
Nutty's ears perked up at the mention of coal oil. They didn't know much about chemistry, but she knew enough to believe in the rarity of the substance. More than that, they could see that it was a clue of significance to the todd. "Is coal oil a restricted compound?" she inquired, glancing between him and the beleaguered Yfanti with curiosity. "I take it that it's not the sort of substance to be found in an establishment like this." If it was rare, she supposed it could point the way to the thief's whereabouts.
Nutry glanced to Nevali, sharing in the significance of the signs assembling before them. The oceans held depths and terrors untold; anything dredged from those antediluvian waters could potentially be powerful, even dangerously so. "Some more tea for everyone does sound good," they agreed, turning inquisitive eyes upon Yfanti. "You said you felt lucky to find the ambergris, then called it a curse. Why did you feel that way about it? As my colleague said, it's hardly rare or valuable." She nodded toward Kaii's contribution as he continued his forensics. He might not believe in the esoteric, but they were sure he could appreciate the significance if the beast they were chasing did. One didn't need to agree with a killer's motives to want to stop him, after all.
