Herbal treatments for what?

[white_disciple]

The ones I remember were muscle relaxers, I think she told me, though I suspect there were others that she didn't have the chance to teach me about.

[spandexisyouth]

For use in combat?

[white_disciple]

No, for relaxation purposes, though... [ping!] I wonder if there are types useful for combat.

[spandexisyouth]

Why would you use chemicals to relax your muscles?

[white_disciple]

We're supposed to use it if the patron is particularly stressed or the muscles are cramped.

[spandexisyouth]

Oh! At the spa! Now it makes more sense.

[white_disciple]

That's right. I was apprenticed to Lady Inara, so I want to improve my skills in her absence.

[spandexisyouth]

That is a splendid motivation! You can see if anyone has picked up any books on the topic?

[white_disciple]

I hadn't thought to look in books. Do you think there are many written on the topic?

[spandexisyouth]

There could be! Book would know!

[white_disciple]

I take it you mean someone named Book and not this journal, Gai?

[spandexisyouth]

You have not spoken with my brother? Yes, I mean the person, Book. When I was reborn he was born with me.

[white_disciple]

No, I didn't know you had a brother, Gai, or that you'd been born twice as well.

[spandexisyouth]

I have died and returned. Book has white hair and red marks on his cheeks, and runs the bookstore.

[white_disciple]

White is not an uncommon hair color here, it seems, for old and young alike.
