Capriciously Mercurial

[Cain]

"Well, you will need to go there, they have a special herb that grows in their woods. I will need it as a reagent for making the proper ink to make sure the enchantment holds."

[Chronica]

"Well, I think I may be able to accomplish that. What does this plant look like and what is it called?" She twiddled her thumbs a moment... "There's more to this isn't there? Some beast guards it or it's extremely rare. Go ahead... hit me with your best one. And am I to meet someone there or no?"

[Cain]

"Oh, well, I suppose it could be something like that. Don't know if there will be anyone there to meet you though. Hmmmm, as for what it is and what it looks like...well...the name is sageleaf and..."
He went behind the bar and started looking at items underneath it.
"I know I have a picture or something around here. No.. No...*there was a whoosh of wind that caused his hair and coat to blow upward.* That's not it, no. nuoooo..nuh-uh...*sounds of something chittering angrily and some grunts from Joe, fallowed by a click* That's definitely not it. Hmmmm. Ah! Here we are!"
He stood up grinning and held up one arm holding a scroll. The other hand was in his pocket. He placed the scroll on the bar top.
"Ummm now if you will,uh excuse me a moment, I have to take care of something, Fred will see to it that the gollems get you anything else you need. " He turned and opened the door to the back, which seemed to lead to his office this time before it closed. As he did so, the ghostly vulpine form of Fred faded into visibility beside the scroll, looking at the door Joe had left through with a cocked head.

[Chronica]

She looked down at the picture of the sageleaf and tapped her foot on the floor. She glanced up at Fred, a corner of her mouth pulled slightly into a frown. "He's a bit cryptic about this. I wonder what he's not telling me."

[Cain]

Fred tilted his head the other way whil turning it to look at her.
"Erf?"
He floated back into the air to look over the scroll.
