Master Of None

The two were immediately hit with the scent of green forests. The feeling of being in the woods was aided by the bountiful amounts of green herbs lining shelves along the walls. Each were labeled and even listed basic properties. Looking towards the counter they could see many tools of various sizes and shapes along with all-ready made potions, organized by tiers. Surprisingly, there was an empty shelf where high potions would be. Walker wondered if this was because someone had purchased them all prior.

"Welcome to the alchemist shop!" An older looking man wearing green robes said with open hands from behind a counter. He had nearly blended in with the herbs behind him.

Approaching the counter walker began pulling rusted tools from his inventory. "Hello, I'm looking to replace these tools and also request some beginner herbs for creating health and mana potions please." Walker knew exactly what he wanted. He also wanted to prioritize the tools so that he could get the quest done sooner.

"Also throw in some buck weed, snow sprout, and some of that red hue clover. We'll need it to make some nourishing tea to prevent illness." Walker was extremely surprised that Remey had known the ingredients right away and also what to use them for.

"Ah back again little Remey, is one of your siblings feeling unwell?" This man recognized Remey as well? Walker was again stunned. He didn't know Remey at all!

"Not this time, my party and I just moved In to that run down place in the upper tier amethyst ashiest eehh whatever mansion. We're cleaning it up and I know if your body is weak the dust and dirt can make ya sick." Remey talked casually with this man even explaining easily why she needed the ingredients. Wait, this was good for someone with a weak body? Was she thinking of Su's mother? Remey definitely held more depth than Walker knew.

"Sure, sure, I'll put it all together don't worry, and you, young man, must be part of her party. Hmmm.. you should learn well from little Remey here; she knows good household medicine. She could probably make a potion faster than you, ha!" Letting out a quick laugh he turned and began grabbing things in to a crate.

Remey had become slightly red but was standing firm watching the old man work taking note of what he grabbed. While she watched walker decided to let his eyes wander soon falling on a shelf behind the counter holding stranger herbs than he'd every seen. Using all around appraisal he studied them.

'Ice lotus- toxic herb

Can be used to purify deadly frostbite however if ingested will kill by freezing internal organs.'contemporary romance

Wow, so there's a difference between how it's used. this thought was the first think in his head. Walker was glad he could learn simple things such as this. It could really help in a pinch. He continued using his skill, wanting to learn as much as possible to store away in his mental archive.

' orange flame grass- non toxic

Calms and purifies impurities when used in high heat brewing.

Purple spotted mushroom- partially toxic

When ingested causes severe hallucination, however when ground in to a fine paste can be used to purify weak poisons.

Green footed toad eggs- inedible

Used to absorb poisonous fat based impurities over long periods of time.

Green grass- non toxic/ edible

Plain old grass

Weeping orchid- spiritual

Can not be eaten or brewed unless using spiritual based skills. The effects strengthen brews that heal injuries to the mind.'

Walker was lost in a daze so much so that he didn't even notice Remey staring at him. She didn't know why he was spacing out with his jaw dropped slowly turning inch by inch. Walker soon got caught on one thing though,

'Dragon fruit- species specific/ class specialized

Can only be used in potions for a specific class or consumed by those with dragon blood. If consumed in a potion or raw, the one consuming may find latent potential unlocked.'

Walker immediately saw promise in this item,

"Excuse me can I ask how much for that fruit there." Walker has pointed to the spiky red fruit on a middle shelf.

"Ahh that fruit? It's supposed to be special for specific classes but it's been sitting here for a week and no interest. The going rate is 90G but since we want to get rid of it for the shelf space, I can sell it for 80G." The price seemed steep but if the benefits were as good as walker hoped Midnight may claim some of her natural dragon skills early.

"Ha! old man you know you can sell it for 60G." Remey jumped in haggling for a lower price causing the man to scrunch his face.

"I should have known you'd try to challenge me, 75G"

"50g or no deal"

Remey had just dropped it another ten gold walker didn't understand.

"You little...65G take it or leave it!" Remey nodded confirming she would take it for that "hmpf that right then, boy! You'll be paying correct? This crate has replacement tools and a beginners herb kit. Since you brought Remey with you I threw in a few extra herbs good for soothing cuts and scrapes she'll show you how to blend em. With the fruit and the tea ingredients I'll charge you 115G."

Walker pulled the gold from his inventory placing it on the counter. The man took it and sat back down. "Now scoot, little Remey; I can't have you trying to talk down all the prices for every customer." He made a shooing motion to the pait as Walker stored the crate in his inventory.

"We'll come to annoy you again another day old man!" Remey turned with a smile, she was definitely in a better mood after coming here. Giving a wave of his own and a smile Walker tired to follower her out the door. Walker had learned a lot just by using his all around appraisal skill on the herbs. Now while he was out on quests he was sure he could identify useful herbs.
