[color=bedded][i]Interacting with:[/i][/color] Satilla, The Merchant of Penance (shopkeeper). [/indent][/center]

[color=bedded]"Yeah, it'll be educational I'm sure."[/color] Thomas' somewhat sheepish reply to Satilla who was perfectly oblivious, or perhaps focused on other things than the awkwardness that had just passed over. It was a rather short but fruitful trip, searching out for potions but instead returning with these lovely fire beetles. Shame they'd have to die somehow for their organs to be extracted. Maybe it was possible to drown them? Invert a jars in a large pitcher or something, fill it with water, and then slowly tip the jar slightly to allow the water to escape? something to preserve their hard carapace to be ground down. Maybe Keystone had some experience in gutting things open delicately? Somehow these beauties would have to die, hopefully they lived out good lives. [color=bedded]"Okay then, let's head out um, we should meet the others and see if they are ready to explore, or maybe we could go visit a tailor or leather worker for a needle or awl and some string or cord if we wanted to make these into necklaces?"[/color]

[color=bedded]"Thank you Sir, I'll have to peruse your wares another day, we've got some fire beetles to uh... Well you know." [/color] With the last remarks and a wave, Thomas picked up the cage of beetles delicately, careful not to agitate the doomed buggers. Hopefully Satilla could take the box, the materials shouldn't be that difficult to manage, although why the old timer sorted out his own vials instead of using Thomas' was beyond him. The boy had placed his tubes back in his satchel already as his sunny eyes watched the beetles crawling around. There was a strange fondness the sorcerer had for animals, probably from being a farm boy and having a menagerie of them around him, bar cats. Cats weren't a favourite with Thomas, but for the sake of Satilla, he'd put up with Skittles, who... Speaking of where was the familiar feline? [color=bedded]"So, anywhere else you'd like to go Satilla? Or should we deal with these beetles first? Not sure if we should prepare them now on or wait for the night?" [/color]
