[@Ithradine] Valmond stood silent as he listened to the Vampire woman explain herself, and was unable to hide the expression of surprise when she revealed her intentions. The Elixir of Life? Why would she wish to have one? Vampires by all truth were immortal, a breed of "living dead", the Elixir of Life had little value to an immortal that Valmond knew of. Granted it had been years since Valmond had last educated himself on the Elixir. He in fact had an old alchemy volume somewhere in the shop that contained an entire section on the Elixir of Life, but it's been well over a year since he last read from that book, and longer still since he had concerned himself with the Elixir of Life. Valmond in fact had never even brewed it himself, for he never had all of the ingredients, and even if he had, he would have still been very wary of it. It was by all account one of the most dangerous concoctions to attempt, bearing dire consequences if one were to botch the mixture. Surely this woman knew that. Although she did not really impress Valmond as master alchemist, or even an adept really. [i]But then again, looks can deceive.[/i] He thought. It mattered not though. Valmond had no Phoenix feathers, nor did he on-the-spot know of any other nearby alchemists who might carry one. So with this, he could not help her. When she began questioning Valmond about any other items for sale he may have, specifically ingredients or poisons, he composed himself once again and responded. [color=92278f]"Well of course, I have a number of uncommon agents, and as for poisons you say, well, no shortage there either. Some of my more unique ingredients are Red Mountain Flowers, Marsh Fungal Pods, Scrin Root, White Cap Mushrooms, Tusk Meal, Glyptis Leaves, and I could continue still. Now, as for poisons, I have a wide selection there as well. A number of them are mixtures of snake venoms, spider venoms, insect venoms, and extracts of poisonous plants. Is there any particular kind that you are interested in?"[/color]
