[One of these days, Samantha meant to do one of these addresses somewhere outside of her lab. But, at this point, it had become a security blanket. Part of her was just used to doing something with her hands, and right then she was going over a series of notes she'd acquired from Sophie. A beaker was bubbling, and there was something dark green in it. In the background a stone humanoid shape could be seen.]

Some of you know Draco and Castiel aren't with us anymore. Since they and Euri disappeared, Asclepius is still open, though I'm going to leave to Sophie any announcements she's got on how things will be running over there. But, in the meantime, Pinch of Sage is going to be one of the only potions shops in town. There's still apothecaries among the natives... but at the same time I seem to have inherited several new recipes. Sleeping draughts are still pretty popular, go fig. If you used to buy something from one of those shops, I can probably make it now, but stocks are getting limited. I've rebuilt my greenhouse two times since I got here, and I've had it reinforced, so I can grow a few of the magical herbs, but my stock from Utgard's almost dry, so I can only make what I can grow or get from Alfheim.

[She snorted a little sardonic laugh at that. A link was put into the updated potions list available at Pinch. Just below them are the Prices.]

Oh... and since we're all getting back on our feet from having this place remind us how close we are to the final battles... take what the Doctor says to heart. [Her eyes hardened and she frowned.] This isn't over until you're dead. I'll keep brewing this crap to help you guys until the bitter end, and I'm not one to give up even when I should. I am going to stand over that cold-hearted witch's ashes and laugh before they ship us home. Mark my words.

Thank Oghma...

[The relief in her voice is obvious. She hadn't known Castiel had a pupil or backup in his shop. She smiled and nodded.]

As long as you don't mind the competition, I will continue to produce his blood recovery potion. The more we have when the enemy hits, the better. However, I'm also going to cultivate that herb as much as I can, so if you guys want any help with getting the herbs more cheaply, let me know.

Right now, if Asclepius and you guys can stay open, it means that we've got more suppliers before the last fight. Nobody's getting over worked.

I'm not looking to make sales so much as keep Asgard supplied - competition's the least of my worries. I wouldn't mind some hints as to how to cultivate some of those herbs, though. Gardening never was a specialty of mine, but it's probably best if there're a few different places growing what we need.

[Never know what form the next disaster's going to take, after all.]

Stop by my shop sometime in the next week. I'll give you the run-down on the six I'm keeping up. They're... picky, but you can keep a small stock up, and another greenhouse in town means we don't have to rely as much on Alfheim.

You, sir, just made my day.

[ka_sera_sera]

I'll be sure to do that. Thank you for the help, Mrs. Grey.

[samantha_grey]

Thank you as well. It's good to have someone else helping out in this, trust me.
