[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.

Oh, yeah. I knew Pyro.

[ Quite well. ]

He replaced his arms and legs willingly?

No, this wasn't willing. [She had a slightly sober look in her eyes.] He had a few issues, mostly over those surgeries, but he was good in a fight... and a few other things. And, good. I don't think I have to explain the kind of world too much then.

Ah.

Well, at least he made the most of the situation, then?

I said as much in the past. He had a fairly good sense of humor about it, as long as the cause wasn't staring him in the face. Real problem with authority though.

I don't like authority either.

That makes three of us. We had plenty to joke about when we were working together. We joked together over not liking orders.

Ohhh, bonding! Lovely. I like bonding.

I mean, obviously. Who doesn't like sharing ideas?

Bonding... that's one word for it. [She smirked.] Screwing in the commander's bed definitely qualified as "bonding." But yeah, Leo was... is a good guy really. Just rough around the edges.

[ COUGH. ]

That … is bonding, yes. One kind of it.

I sort of preferred the bonding in fights to that kind, believe it or not. That... had its merits, but life or death situations are much better for getting to know someone in a pinch.

I know. I do that all the time. Foolproof.

What, fucking... or killing things?

[Sam, blunt as a baseball bat.]

[ SPLUTTER. Yeah, he's blushing. ]

Neither! Life or death situations.

Ok, more the killing thing or avoiding getting killed side. Yeah, the other doesn't work so well until after you escape. Funny way of happening when you get into a safe place though. Adrenaline's one hell of an aphrodisiac.

For humans, at least. Not so much for me.

Or maybe I just get distracted.

[ Who knows. ]

You don't really talk sex with the others of your species much, do you?

[ L a u g h i n g. ]

Are you kidding? Absolutely not.

One never knows. I have no idea how your species even reproduces, honestly. I don't worry too much about that subject myself anyway.

We do have sex. If we feel like it. But we don't talk about it. Let me say meeting humans was ... an experience. In a lot of ways.

[ WHY ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT THIS he's trying not to blush. Really, he is. ]

...you ever have one of those moments when you realize that you've probably learned and revealed way too much information for one evening without even knowing how you got there?

Oh, yes. Constantly.

In other words, let's pretend we never got there.

...got where? I'm not even sure what we were talking about. [Have a cheeky grin.] Anyway, did you need anything?

[ He laughs, and points at her. Bless. ]

No. I don't think so.

Alright then. See you around, Doctor. Have a good one.

Yeah. You too.
