Only if you're interested in purchasing the result on behalf of the store. One of my Bonded has already passed some to me, knowing they have alchemical use, but quite frankly I have little need of them. There are few formulas such a plant is used in besides aphrodisiacs. Still, I am grateful for your consideration.
Life has been uneventful—a welcome change from the usual change of pace in this land, I admit. I trust you've fared the same?
Hey, you get a little bit of my consideration whenever I find something new and weird It's not everyone who appreciates a good potion, after all But that's okay, glad you're well stocked at least I suppose I oughta try learning how to make them myself anyway
Yeah, things have been good! Just working at the shop, mostly, but I've started on a project that's gonna get me to the Forge a bit more often Does 'uneventful' mean you've been able to work on anything fun lately?
I would not be opposed to instructing you, if you bring your own materials.
Dare I even ask what the what "the Forge" is?
Uneventful means neither my routine nor my health has been upended by sudden happenings. My work has been with furthering refinement of a local plant's sap which seems to have anti-Cwyld properties. Though, that is likely at a hold until I fortify the plants for winter.
Seriously? That'd be great! What else am I gonna need for it?
And don't go getting all scandalised, it's just a public forge People go there to work metal, hammer out their magictech, that sort of thing Gotta keep sharp, yknow
Sounds like pretty important work Maybe not as badass as engineering, but not much is ;)
Wow, sir yes sir Cmon, do I seem like a timewaster to you?
... Actually, don't answer that I like liking you
And I guess? It wasn't called magitech or anything, it was alchemy. Back home I use the organic matter left over from demon kills to enhance Nero's weapons, but it sure looks a lot like this place's magitech My way is cooler though
Ah, forbid we upset such a delicate balance. [Aww, look at that, he's bantering.]
I see. I have an item from my world that would qualify as magitech, but it is inert now; I had never figured out what sorcery drove it in Fódlan, besides. You're welcome to take a look at it when you're here, if you are so inclined.
And seriously? That'd be awesome! I gotta say, I'm really interested in the stuff people brought along here from their worlds Some of it's pretty inspirational, y'know? I could learn a lot for my own projects
And maybe see if I can get yours working again, while I'm at it
I am available at most times. Simply give me an hour's notice; there is an outdoor cellar I use for my alchemical work, and I can lower the wards for you.
[An address.]
As it is now, the weapon is little more than a common lance. I would not miss it for a week or two.
You're the best! I'm gonna be pretty busy for the next few days but I'll get in touch when I've got a free afternoon
Say, do you like muffins? Now I don't mean to shock you, but I bake a mean blueberry muffin I can bring some for us to share while we work, if you like What could be better than potions and a picnic?
I am disinclined towards sweets. However, if you are so inclined, I will ensure they do not go to waste. There are others in this household that are quite partial to pastries.
And as thoughtful as the idea is, I'm further inclined to insist it waits until after. My rats are... escape artists, I suppose. At least one of them will find their way into them while we have our backs turned.
I typically do not indulge in anything other than coffee; all I seek from food is a full stomach. I... suppose I am growing somewhat partial to the licorice I've seen sold here.
[Guess which kind. ]
Frankly? Neither did I. I've come to I possess a pair of them. They were originally for alchemical purposes when I was having difficulty detecting contaminates, but over time I have rather reluctantly admitted I've grown fond of them. They're quite clever, for such small beasts.

That brings me to wonder. You said you were a weaponsmith; did you deal with magitech in your own world?
