If only for that last sentence of his. Gordon Ramsey? Wasn't he some big time chef or something back on earth? She hadn't a clue - she wasn't very up on the current events of earth at the time of her death. She hardly watched TV or did anything aside from eat, sleep, or work...sometimes her co-worked referred to her as a robot, hah. Well, no matter. She wasn't going to bring it up - that wasn't an issue at the moment. She wanted this Pixie to trust them, or at least her. [color=598527]"Aha, I can't blame you for thinking something is a trap,"[/color] Ash shouted back up at the Pixie. She'd have given him her best friendly smile, had her lizard mouth been capable of it. [color=598527]"But I am simply a humble Alchemist...and us Lizards would perhaps like to have your assistance with a little...endeavor of ours in taking out a few of the goblins. You will get a cut of the rewards, should you help."[/color] Speaking of that plan, something [i]extremely[/i] interesting had just happened. The crystal that the Pixie had dropped into the pool of venom made a noise like water being sucked down a drain, the venom seeming to seep into the once radiant blue crystal as it chimed eerily. The color changed to one of deep purple as Ash walked over to it, resting a claw on top of it gently. She'd be grinning like a mad woman had her lips been capable of it. [color=598527]"As a show of good faith,"[/color] She cast one more glance up to the Pixie, voice as honest and trustworthy as she could make it sound. She wouldn't spare much time trying to convince him - this was the best she had, and if she didn't reel him in now she doubted she'd get him at all. [color=598527]"I shall introduce myself, Pixie. I am Ash...now won't you help a poor lizard make her way in this world?"[/color] Her voice had a mildly pleading undertone to it, but not a comically overbearing or showy one. Just the subtle tone of her voice. She turned her attention back to Ryuu and Rain. [color=598527]"Well, my friends,"[/color] She hissed in pleasure. [color=598527]"I have some enlightening information for our little lizard committee here...and I think I have a solid idea of how we can kill that idiotic goblin. As evident by this hole here - when Lizards combine their venom it becomes far more volatile and toxic for a short time."[/color] She lightly tapped the poison crystal with her claws. [color=598527]"And when this mana crystal reacts with toxic levels of fanged lizard venom...it acts as a poison that can reduce one's total mana. See where I'm going with this?"[/color]
