There are far worse things than having a naked young man with you while you make scientific observations. "Seeking a cure for my condition -- the one in my blood." Claudius spreads his hand at the little glass plates to illustrate. "These are samples. I've been told the blood of another Heavenly Demon can counteract what's killing me, but first I'm studying how this blood behaves outside the closed confines of my body. Grim work, but fascinating. There are whole worlds within a drop of blood if you know how to look."
