Senku raises an eyebrow. Well, that means it won't be something he can bargain for, if it was a gift. Damn. He really wants to look at that stone, see if it does anything other than look pretty.
"A friend you made here? They still around? I'd like to make friends with your friends," Senku says. He's not lying, though Senku's idea of friendship is often transactional unless he knows someone very well. Besides, IN723Q hasn't agreed that they're friends. Senku just beat it at a video game, like a battle. "I'd also like to see what kinda gem that is. I know a lot about rocks and minerals. I won't steal it or touch it or anything, just wanna see it closer if that's ok." That's also not a lie; he can identify rocks on sight, like he can most plants. He's just a walking encyclopedia, after all, though if it's some otherworldly rock, he can't know about it. That's just exciting unknown information to him though. Senku can be manipulative, but he's not a thief unless he has no choice. He wouldn't dare risk the tentative alliance, friendship, mutual respect, whatever this is, they've got going on here. But he's too curious by nature, something readily apparent to anyone who interacts with him.
He considers the rest of the information. Something is failing and must be fixed. Some kind of machinery, he wonders? He's got to get in touch with these Glencola people somehow. In the meantime, he's actually pretty glad this creature is on their side — if only for the time being.
"Evil bipeds could also be…the Hunter, the guy in the cabin? Or the Glencolan people, the ones who aren't on this island anymore?"
There could be some other answer, too, but he's trying (somewhat) not to just spit out a whole slew of questions that Leopardtaur won't be able to keep up with.
