Etzo backed away from the short merchant, one hand cradling his head as she recalled old purchases, a mild headache making a return with their inquires.  Waiting a moment for the migraine to disperse once more, before opening his eyes and patting the familiar Deku on the head in a welcome fashion, [color=fff200]"Ah Yuri, I had thought you dead by now,"[/color] he said with a glint in his stare as he eyed the leaves adorning her head,[color=fff200] "though seems your strange timing comes through again, as you might be able to help me once again,"[/color] he said, losing himself for a moment in thought, had lingering on the plant creatures head as he considered wether or not be could use them as a substitute.

Just as he meant to point her in the direction Gerik, and planning on clipping a sample for testing, the blue clad knight rushed over to the pair, speaking of gathering the leaves himself. The slim alchemist cocked his head curiously at the rather eager fellow, taking a moment to close his eyes as another wave of pain came from his temple, only to open them once more to find the man had come uncomfortably close, though the little Deku seemed to be the point of interest for the odd knight. Following his gaze, he found what could only be the weapon she had spoken of before, a familiar glow emitting from Yuri's hand. He felt a curious draw to the fragment himself, the piece within him obviously wishing to rejoin its brethren. 

A strange look of manic glee graced his face as he looked at Yuri, a look that often had been followed by explosions lately. [color=fff200]"Oh my Yuri,"[/color] he said, his voice holding a distant quality as though it hadn't even come from himself. He felt himself begin to crouch as well, gently but stubbornly pushing the knight to the side as he took ahold of her outstretched hand, turning the palm this way and that as he examined it. 

Looking once more up at her, eyes larger than his own glasses now as he stared unblinkingly at her, [color=fff200]"You must let me run some tests," [/color]he said, sounding for all the world like a child locked in a sweets shop, hand slightly tightening as he said so.
