"Yes, of course, I'll help however I can. I'm sorry to hear that you can't stay for very long, but I understand." Ariel looked a little disenchanted, but her tone of voice remained enthused. "Specimens from the inner marshes are incredibly difficult to procure, so any apothecary in the city would give you a good price for them," she placed the fingers of one hand to her chest, "not to mention myself. Though, I probably couldn't afford them all at once depending on what you have, so you might need to shop around. I can show you to other shops that would give you a fair price." Ariel then looked to Sabine with a smile, her chin dodging Leaps' snout as she turned her head, "And Sabine, you may use my equipment if you like, but I still have some orders to fill by the end of the day, so I'll need some components for a short while beforehand. Also, I have some spare glassware that you can take with you to replace what you lost. I can't spare a full set, but it should help you."

Even this amount of generosity was more than Sabine had expected. Her regular pastime of alchemy had been severely limited with just what she had over the past few weeks. Decent alchemical glassware was so prohibitively expensive that she never thought she would get any replacements until she spent time saving for them. Her expression was understandably wide eyed and grateful. "Really?" Sabine asked quietly. As soon as Ariel confirmed with a nod, Sabine leaned towards her and hugged her once more. "Thank you Ariel!" The movement produced an annoyed chirp from Leaps as Ariel returned the hug.

"That's quite alright, dear sister. It would be a shame to let them gather dust in a cupboard," Ariel said. Once they pulled away from one another, Ariel addressed Meesei once more. "Now, I believe I have a bit more time before I have to get back to the shop, so if you like we could order a meal, or spend some time searching for lodgings. I daresay it will be much easier than festival time." Ariel carefully tested Leaps' weight, then slowly lifted the hatchling up and handed him back to Kaleeth, "I would suggest getting rooms here, but I'm not sure if they are the absolute cheapest. If we can find one of the brothers somewhere, they might be able to direct you to something more suited to a shoestring budget."
