[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.

[She read it over, catching the implied meaning and nodding. It was good to have at least a couple people still here who knew, in case things went badly down the road.]

I don't think it's something to be congratulated for. I'd rather have them back, even if Euri was an idiot sometimes. But, don't worry about that.

Right now, I'm working on supplying the medical corps. I'll let you know as soon as I get any big plans I could use a couple good, strong hands to help out with. For now, it's just mixing potions.

Understood. I'll remain on stand by until further notice. [Yup. He will just wait for the next big mission as he was beginning to grow restless as of late. For many reasons.

For a moment, Soushi will check the list of potions, realizing just how many there were to choose from. He knew they worked, but he had no interest in any of them. Instead, he had a request. Now, the next step was: how to go around to asking over it?]

I understand you're quite limited when it comes to number of ingredients on the potions you sell, but may I ask you a question, Grey-san? [And to make certain she knew the subject he wishes to speak of, in the likelihood he feels uncomfortable or uneasy over it.] It's about your demonic side.

Of course, though you should know I don't drink the tea much anymore. Loki grafted runes to my spine. They handle the problem in a different way.

But what did you want to know?

If I could, what different way do they handle the problem? I assume they do not change your appearance, but something else, correct?

[Well, it might be nice to hear about it, if Sam didn't mind talking about it. However, he didn't really wish to speak about it. Not really. It wasn't the question he wished to ask. So instead of going around the bush, he will add the private filter to their conversation as Soushi decides to be direct now.]

I apologize for my boldness as I am in no particular mood to go around the bush as I normally would. My question for you is: have you ever tried to create a potion that might make certain parts of an individual's body to disappear for a few hours? [And for good measure, he will be more specific.] Such as tails, horns, and the like, for example.

They burn off the excess hormones when they reach a critical point. The process is usually painful enough that I'm half conscious for several hours every new moon. If I've been feeding lately, the pain isn't as bad, but it's enough that 'she' can't re-emerge with any real luck.

[Switching to private, she considered that for a moment before replying.]

A partial invisibility potion? If it came down to it you might succeed in using the invisibility potion I've made as an oil. It's thick enough, though it would last at most for about ten minutes. It's very short duration.

You might look into runes for that sort of thing.

It would seem as Loki-kami-sama has been a great help to you. Your other side hasn't emerged ever since he offered his aid to you, correct? [A short pause, to consider his next words carefully.] The process sounds painful. It's a shame there isn't a less painful way to assist you.

[And yet he won't offer himself to help her during the new moon as he normally would. It was getting more difficult to sympathize as his mind continues to return to the fateful scene in his world before he was forced to return to the city.]

It's a shame I would be unable to use it for longer period of time. An hour or two would have suffice, if it were the case. [This simply means he'll have to hide his tails and roam at night to keep them well hidden from other people.] I do not hold enough knowledge to successfully use runes to assist me. Do you recommend any runes expert to ask over the matter?

Very helpful. It's more complicated than that, but all the same she's gone one way or another. The danger, at least, is past.

Runes might be the solution either way. Talk with Aladdin. He's got the best knowledge of runes of anyone I know.

[Soushi will silently ponder over the idea of asking Aladdin for help. He knew the young boy was not the type to judge, but there was not enough reasons for Soushi to trust nor ask for his help. He was not in the mood of explaining himself to anyone or reveal his true self to anyone. All he wanted at this point is to be left alone. Nothing more.]

I'll keep him in mind. Thank you for your assistance. It was quite insightful.

[At this point he has no more to say, so he might end it here.]
