I would say that I was experimented on... Initially, at least. But, yes, once I realized the pigments had mental effects, I saw how they could be useful. One of them made people especially conciliatory, so it would be useful for an interrogation, now wouldn't it?
[ Only Silco gets to see these hints that Hugo is more ruthless than he lets on... That's probably fine. ]
Though after "sampling" all of them, just a fair warning should they reappear at another festival? Stay away from purple. Just trust me on that one.
[ There is a pause before Hugo answers, because how does he even phrase this? How does he phrase this to Silco?

It's why I wanted to be aware of what they did personally. There are similar drugs in New Eridu, so I always tried to keep track of what was out there. Understanding you're under its effects gives you back a degree of control. Or, worst case, gives you a neat little list to hand to the doctors if you've been poisoned.
