Toil and Trouble, Boil and Bubble

Astrid was trying to find some nugget of interest for the man. She was being rude, she knew she was, only... The girl stifled a sigh. The wiles and wishes of others had never brought about any sort of empathy. They weren't her kin, so they weren't her business. Yet this young male was persistent, and what was the worst that could happen. His bland remark that he had no where to stay caught her off guard. Was he... implying something? No, surely not. She shrugged noncommittally, as she had no where in mind either. If the weather came, it came. And in time it would move off again, nothing worth worrying over. Her company leaned in to get a better wiff of her meaning, and before she could stop him, inhaled deeply. Worry melted away as she watched him avidly for the details of his reaction. He seemed out of focus... Dizzy perhaps? Interesting. "What were you testing anyways?" he queried. A breath was spent deciding how to best answer that question, and she decided to be delicate. "I study herbs, its a hobby of mine. When I come across those I'm unfamiliar with I like to test them." Never mind that she had in fact been looking for potency instead of their viability as healing agents... well. What Gauner didn't know probably wouldn't hurt him, so long as he didn't ingest anything. Best keep an eye on that, she noted within her mind. You could never be too careful. An accidental poisoning wasn't exactly what she was after. "What of you, are you studying any one art?" This was small talk, she supposed. Never her strong suit, but how hard could it truly be? |
