"Really now? Sounds like my kind of place. Wonder why I didn't get dropped there," he added the last part as if to himself. He refocused at the mention of the spirit. "Yes please," his gleaming with lust for a drink he'd long been deprived. He settled back into the chair and relaxed.
"A friend?" he asked raising an eyebrow, his tone implying a thousand comments he was tempted to make and the effort not to. "Might I ask what sort of progress?"

Pouring the drink, his eyes shifted briefly over Dodger again; a slightly off smile with the question. " She's a researcher who seems to specialize in .. " he searched for the technical term though his mind as he passed the drink over. " Oh never mind the term, it's a good mouthful of incredibly difficult words that summed up mean: she's studying the Heartless and the Nobodies, how they're connected; and whether or not they can be tracked and likely put back together again. "
A shake of his head as if to say the obvious.. that even that had been a mouthful and somewhat complicated, before he took a sip and swirled the rest in his glass. " Mm. She's a rather smart woman. Smart enough to have ended up the apprentice of the man who started this whole affair... " a brief pause and thought. " It might be easier to explain if I knew how much you knew.. but ah. Another acquaintance of mine is very interested in her research and it's potential. And with the less savory rumors surrounding Dilan, as well as the time of his disappearance.. well, I am very interested myself. "

Dodger cradled the glass in his hand almost lovingly, admiring it like a brilliant work of art. "Yeah I know about the Heartless," he sneered. "Hades was quite fond of them for endurance matches," he paused thinking for a moment, "don't know about Nobodies, I once heard those little monsters of his use the word to describe some really rare monsters he gets ahold of from time to time. All white and squiggley, hard to beat too. But he didn't use them much, too much work to get them to waste them on anything less than one-wing-angel bracket contenders if you catch my drift."

Setzer nodded towards the next sip as he listened, letting the warmth wash over his tongue before he swallowed. It was a good year, with a nice sting and roundness to the spice he was easy to relax with, sinking back and kicking his feet up onto one of the empty chairs, emptying his pockets of some of the more cumbersome items, a small wooden box and his other purse for personal use, two decks of cards. He set his sword to one side against the table ignoring the usual sound of the guns going off somewhere else in the ship. It wasn't anything to worry about, just the usual between worlds; and his demeanor treated it as such. " I don't know much about the Nobodies myself aside from what I've learned living in Twilight Town, and what I've learned since between my own travels, Dahlia and Axel. Twilight Town is all but spilling over with them. Interestingly enough, returning there was where Dilan's sighting was reported to me. "
" Out of the mouths of babes, as they say.. " Chuckled out in reference to the children that had told him of his appearance in the first place. He shook his head though. " Once there we'll gather a few things at Hatter's and check up at the Hotel to see if the red head has left me any messages: proceed to the Heart, collect what we might if so.. and hopefully, on to Twilight Town once our business is finished. I have some business there.. " and then his eyes went up to that chandelier, closing one as he took the last sip. " ...hopefully it will be fruitful enough to pay a visit to the Dark City again, with a bargaining chip in tow.. "

Dodger sipped the scotch as though he were making love to it, but hesitated at the sound of the guns. "Is all that racket normal?" he asked looking slightly ill at ease, but as Setzer didn't seem to be bothered by it, he attempted to relax. "Such an elaborate plan," he commented slowly tuning out the gunfire. " I always preferred simple ones, but if you think the pay of is worth to go on this crazy hunt who am I to doubt?"
He followed Setzer's gaze up to the chandler and raised a questioning eyebrow, that he felt sure Setzter would pretend not to notice

" Yes... a good deal of .. obstacles between worlds still for those of us rooted to travelling on this plane only. " In response to the question. He didn't reply to a majority of the rest, simply nodding or shrugging where appropriate while he enjoyed the drink himself. The other eye opened as Dodger, there was a flash of a moment where a very cold and very amused expression took over his eyes before teh veil of his aloof lazy expression dropped over them again, though a more normal mirth stayed present in the translation. " Curious? " He sat up, and refreshed his drink, offering the same for the redhead. " That is my most guarded stash. " a slight chuckle. " Though it may not look it, I've gone through a great deal of trouble and spent a lot of time securing those nest eggs. " A grin, he almost laughed at the following comment for Hades before it had even passed his lips. " The deals the devil will make... "

He was slightly amazed that Setzer had reacted as he did, and wondered what it meant.
"Curious? Well something so obviously valuable to you is something that would naturally interest me wouldn't it?" he took a slow sip of the scotch and opened his eyes letting them darken with the drink and that old pirate like lust for treasure that he knew Setzer would remember for their previous encounters. "They must be truly rare eggs for you to make that kind of deal."
He could guess which devil the man was referring to, though there were so many to choose from he wasn't sure so he hazarded a guess, come what may, "How'd the old god manage to loose his own rigged fight?"

" Rare indeed. There are quite a few things in there.. though at least one may prove a fine bargaining chip with the Nobodies: if it's truly authentic. " A wilder, almost evil smile as Setzer settled back again running the drink under his nose taking the scent in. He did love that smell. " Oh this deal had very little to do with a fight. There are a very few individuals you see; that our dear Hades would pay anything to affect in one way or another. Hercules is but one. More over... " kicking his heels up again he took another sip of that refreshed glass. " ..he's loyalty is extended only to one other person than himself: the first fact alone makes him very, very easy for me to deal with. "
Glancing to the window, they were already slowing their approach. No surprise: the Colosseum wasn't far from Traverse Town. " Perhaps you'll get a look at one or two of my treasures when we come to Twilight Town, for now we should check on other things. "

He listened almost like an eager child listening to an adventuring story.
"How incredibly devious of you." He followed Setzer's gaze out of the window to get his "first" look at Traverse Town and made a odd pleased sound. "I sincerely hope I will." He paused at the mention of "other things".
"Ah I don't suppose I could find a suit first? I like to make a good impression."

A small smile, the other gambler put his glass down and sat up nodding to the question. " Of course. Hatter's is in second district. I'll show you the way.. " With that he corked the bottle and stood, motioning to the moogle that came to the door, likely to inform them they had arrived and were about to dock. " Please show Dodge to the starboard bay... " Turning for the desk in the room he leaned over it speaking as he gathered a few things and swapped out his coats for the red-lined nearly black plum one, piped with gold: he'd left it hung over the back of the chair there. " I'll be with you shortly. I just have to retrieve a little munny, among other things. "

Dodger smirked a little "Don't hurry on my account" and turned to follow the moogle to the aforementioned starboard bay, staring at everything he could see as he went. "Nice place you got here," he said conversationally to the Moogle.
