Ariel nodded at Meesei's last sentence, "To experiment with Hist sap or Hist bark is a privilege for any alchemist. No comprehensive research has been done on it however, any that you can buy is through a black market and prohibitively expensive. To try and obtain it yourself, well, as you said, it would probably earn you a swift death." Ariel's eyes brightened, "I've heard some amazing things about the substances, however. Some have used it in applications such as communicating across, or opening portals to other planes, rearranging the threads of one's mind, and other things. It's quite potent." she cocked her head to one side, "I wouldn't know where to begin if I got my hands on some, however. For all its potency, it's very difficult to use without problems." Ariel looked to Meesei, "I think the knowledge that should first be obtained by anyone who wanted to research such things would be the trees themselves. Whatever they are, exactly, and how they work." While Fendros was genuinely interested in the lore of the Hist, the day had drained him and the bath had relaxed him to the point where he was struggling to stay awake. Even though his skin was already a purple dark colour, darker shades were visible under his eyes. "I don't want to be rude, but," Fendros moved his hand from Ahnasha's waist and slowly got up, "I think I'm going to head to my bedroll. Goodnight everyone." He made his way to the edge of the pool to step out. Janius raised his brow for a moment, "'Night." he took a deep breath and lowered more of his body into the pool until his shoulders were submerged, "I think I'll stay a little longer," He breathed. "Goodnight Fendros," Ariel smiled, trying to ignore Fendros' nudity as he walked across the pool. Ariel turned back to Meesei for a moment, "Meesei, this might be a personal question, but... have you produced eggs before? Produced children at the hist tree?"
