Pointy hat, broom, I think I know what kinda lab you're lookin' for.

[ages_like_wine]

I ride on a dragon, not a broom, thank you.

You do?

[enemy_of_living]

You need a magic laboratory! And I'll let you use mine two days of the week if you agree to be my unpaid lab assistant three days of it!

You know, assuming you're competent.

[ages_like_wine]

Yeah, that's perfectly reasonable.

Thank you for your...generous offer, but I suspect I'll need more than two days a week to accomplish what I intend to. I wouldn't mind being an assistant to someone, but you could have suggested it in a much better manner.

Perhaps if you offered a partnership and allowed myself equal use of your lab...

[enemy_of_living]

I'm not the only owner, so I can't make that deal. At least, not in good conscience. That's why I suggest lab assistant.

[ages_like_wine]

Oh, I see.

While pooling our efforts and knowledge would be much better than my having a laboratory to myself, I will have to decline.

Perhaps if you were to arrange for my equal use of the lab...

I promise that my knowledge will be more than enough to make it worth your effort.

Talk to Shantotto about it if you're still interested. About this short, constantly rhyming. Assuming you're looking at your feet you're bound to see her sometime. If not, not entirely unlikely to step on her.

Be careful if you do. She's pretty capable of violence as far as I can tell.

[ages_like_wine]

I can take care of myself well enough.

Thank you.
