Eli leaned back in his chair, listening for Eli to be well out of earshot before he even began to consider the question. He had just told his son they were going to work to solve the issue at hand, he might as well get to that. "I have considered the possibility." He hadn't gone so far as to try it himself set, because while he might know a great about memories, having both the theoretical and practical skill to manipulate them in strange and fascinating new ways - sometimes you just needed someone well-practiced with the basic ability.

Eli swallowed, for the first time feeling like he was standing on true uncertain ground, but the question was already formed.
