well i mean um
pigeons are edible too - if you don't have anything else


oh
Oh no
Oh no no um this is
melius

melius senyan i run the potion store i'm sorry i wasn't trying to listen to you talk to shen yuan

[fanfavors]

These ones were sweethearts, I doubt they'd make a hearty meal.

[But hm!! The what!!!]

Never mind Shen Yuan, I'll find him when I find him! You make potions? For what? Remedies and such, or something more scandalous?

[fusrodaaaah]

oh um
you like birds?

[Listen, he's not judging here, he likes mushrooms.]

Yes I do
for health and healing and sometimes making you stronger or faster



I guess invisibility is scandalous ???

[fanfavors]

I do like birds. Look, this is a bird's face

:>

[yes. yes it is. anyway, oh, so not like... sexy potions... you know, he's making the wise decision not to ask if there are any of those.]

Could I see the healing potions? My brothers are going to get themselves hurt again any day now, and this one ought to be prepared.

[fusrodaaaah]

[oh my god.]

how did you do that! it's a bird! i see it!!

[Melius Senyan - easily impressed.]

oh yes! i have a lot of those

it's called um Potion Hut and it is in "Willful Machine"

[fanfavors]

This one has been educated in the art of making lively little expressions. This one is a cat, or so this one is led to believe:

:3c

[He doesn't really get that one, but. So it goes.]

I know where Willful Machine is! When is your shop open? How much do I need to buy a potion?

[fusrodaaaah]

oh
I'm not sure I can see that one I'm sorry

[Where are the whiskers???]

oh um it's open a lot
Like right now

and I do trades
so if you have fish or mushrooms or plants or a sweater that is fine

[fanfavors]

No, no, I don't know about that one either! I can only believe what I'm told, but if you ask me, my bird is much better.

[trades....... hrm....]

To be completely honest, my only contribution to any trading would be art. Do you like art? If not, please give me some time to acquire some fish.

[fusrodaaaah]

I like your bird too. It looks like a bird. Not just a face

Oh um sure
Art is good! I don't have any art.
but I have crayons and i like to do drawing

Do you know about crayons???

[Melius your Trench Crayola discovery isn't THAT cool...]

[fanfavors]

You're too kind. But it does, doesn't it? :> She's friendly, and everything.

[more importantly, a fellow artiste... ooh!!]

This one does not know about crayons! My specialty is ink and sometimes paint, like this.

[give him a moment to go find and photograph an example of his favored Artwork, Trees And Also Birds to attach. it's all coming together.]

[fusrodaaaah]

Is she your um
your omen?

[He'll be so jealous if so. Because his own omen is a terrible little creature.]

oh! oh that's very good!! you are very good! um

here

[... yeah it's nowhere near as good as that, but he tried.]

[fanfavors]

[Well good(?) news, there's another picture sent before he even replies with text, because look at this little baby.]

Yes, my adorable little caomeimei.

[And speaking of adorable, this art... is endearing? Yes it is.]

A dragon? How ambitious! This one is impressed!

[fusrodaaaah]

oh! oh she is very cute. and pretty
there aren't red birds like that where i came from

thank you
um
that is my omen
Aakhahnu is her name and she is


unkind

[She swears like a sailor because she thinks it's funny.]

[fanfavors]

I've caught birds like her back home, but never one that looked like a sweet berry. I think she's lucky.

Your omen is mean to you?

[...

.........]

This one could be wrong, but isn't an omen meant to represent one's inner self...?

[fusrodaaaah]

oh you're right
she looks like a snowberry

[But uh........ please.... hold.]

[We are conferring with the little terror.]

i um
I dont
know? but she is always like that. she says she 'does what she has to'

[fanfavors]

Hmm, Shen-ge said strawberry, but snowberry sounds more unique. I like the sound of that.

She has to be mean to you? You ought to give her a scolding for that.

[fusrodaaaah]

they are small red berries that grow in the coldest places
i like them, they taste kind of sour but also sweet.

I

try to. but she also bites

[fanfavors]

My sect's home is in a cold place, it fits perfectly! Do they grow in this world?

[Bud... buddy.... homie. This is a little concerning.]

Maybe you should let someone else try.

[fusrodaaaah]

Oh then you will be okay
i know some people who are not used to the cold and they are very unhappy here in the winter

then she will bite them
and curse at them
she curses at my friends too

[fanfavors]

Oh yes, Qinghe is nearly unbearable to outsiders in the winter. Judging by the buildings around here, it won't be nearly as cold.

[surely more of these places would be built to retain heat if so--?]

She sounds like my brother, besides the biting. In that case! You must ignore her when she acts out.

[fusrodaaaah]

yes

it snows here but it isn't as bad as Skyrim is either
skyrim has glaciers and snow bears

okay
i will try that

[fanfavors]

Qinghe is only cold! Our bears are ordinary, I suppose... I don't go hunting, I don't really know.

And good luck! She should learn to behave appropriately.

[Hm, what is he forgetting...]

Oh!! The art!!!! What kind of art do you want in exchange for potions?

[fusrodaaaah]

that's good
don't go hunting - it's not fun at all
Fishing is a lot better

[Says the lizard who catches fish with his teeth.]

oh um!
i like the plants you drew
i really like those a lot

[fanfavors]

You're completely right!! I hate hunting!!!! At lecture, we would catch fish in the stream at the back of the mountain, but it's been a while... Honestly, I don't really know what to do with an entire ocean, here.

[he only knows how to catch fish with his hands, so.]

I could paint you a lantern with some plants on it, for your shop? You can hang it up!

[fusrodaaaah]

oh here they use big nets
you can throw them into big schools of fish and pull them up

i just swim and catch them that way.

[Because he's a lizard. Amphibian. Argonian.]

Oh!! that would be
i love that idea!!
