[ If the topic of alchemy is something sensitive to Greed, Caelus would understand the sharp reaction upon hearing about it being mentioned. Maybe the man couldn't help himself? But rather than speculate, Caelus would prefer to hear the reason if possible. For now, he listens wordlessly to what Greed has to say first, then nods in appreciation when he's offered a drink. He doesn't want to interrupt the man, so he says a quiet "thank you."
Greed confirms his history with alchemists and homunculi, then the explanation that the practice is much more difficult in his universe. Caelus isn't surprised, considering it's similar for his own. There's something just too strange about Sleep's world, blessing (or cursing?) them with unknown powers that they can only scratch the surface of. Who knows what else an Artificer is really capable of? Only through time will Caelus know.
But what does surprise Caelus is Greed's admittance that he's… an actual homuculus. Or was? He's something else now? ]
… You were one? Sleep changed it? Are you… an Offering?
