All three of them have been interested in this subject for a while, now. Even has had far more opportunity to pursue the question, with the laboratory he's occupied in the television world being so deep in the heart of Shadow territory. He, on the other hand, has been a relative newcomer to the issue, and even Naoto hasn't known about the Heartless for long, and certainly not in much depth. As for Ienzo.....
Well, Aeleus can't help but feel a little bad for him; he hasn't had much time to even be introduced to the topic at all, let alone had any first-hand experience with it. He simply hasn't been awake for long enough.
They don't have time for pet projects, Dilan has argued. With Xehanort's thread looming on the horizon, and the restoration efforts in full swing, everyone needs to devote all of their energy to rebuilding and preparing. Even has countered--persuasively, Aeleus feels--that this itself is an excellent form of preparation. After all, with so many of them having been put through the TV world now, and so many of them having been exposed to Shadows of their own..... well, how different are Shadows and Heartless, really? Can Persona users possibly fell them as effectively as Keyblade wielders? If so, then that would be a huge boon, and an easy way to take the strain off of Sora and the others. They would be able to do more, in more different places, if they could be sure that their abilities could be adequately relied on.
Any possible plans they could rely on, though, depend on being able to gain enough knowledge first. That's what Even is for--no, that's what all four of them are here for. Naoto is their consummate expert on the Shadows, while Even is undisputed master of these laboratories; together, the four of them should be able to find some answers in good time. He already knows his way around the Heartless, himself; it's the Shadow that his gaze lingers on, even as Even scans them both and jots down his observations. Aeleus nods in agreement, poised and serious. "Of course. Just tell me what you need."
