She would have been suspicious about it if it wasn't for how coolly he sounded about everything. Did she trust this man with every fibre of her being? Hardly. The way he spoke, however, convinced her that he was at least capable beyond his words. " 60/40, then!"<br/><br/>The smaller of the two shook Lucien's hand, effectively sealing the deal, then clasped the potion bottle when it was given to her. Her grip tightened when the suggestion of not dropping it was spoken. For a brief moment, she considered if she did drop it, would it just explode and she'd cease to exist? No, she decided, shaking her head as she did. He did say it was it was a tester and you just simply don't make a lot of something you're unsure of. Her attempts at making little pocket bombs attested to the process.<br/><br/>"Wooden training dummies. Uh oh. I've seen my fair share of those so if it's revenge they want, I'm in trouble!" Rei, perhaps trying to overcompensate for the lack of gusto that Lucien had, may have gone a little too far in the other direction. By the time she finished laughing at her own joke (and if asked, would say it was very much different from Lucien's), the alchemist was practically out of town and she had to pick up her pace in order to get back in stride with him. Once she was, the little ninja held the potion aloft to look at it a little closer.<br/><br/>As far as potions go, Rei was only familiar with any that were red in colour. She'd learned from her travels to even get to Amberdale that red liquids were good, green tended to be poison, blue let those throw-fireballs-from-their-hands types do their thing, and yellow could go in any direction depending on who made it. This was one of the latter, though the little glittery bits was an interesting feature. Maybe that's where the strength came from?<br/><br/>"Sooo..." Rei said, tilting the bottle this way and that while they walked. She made sure to keep the bottle upright as to not freak her newest party member out. "Is there like, a recipe book that you follow for these things? Do you just put a bunch of stuff that tastes funny together and hope for the best? Am I going to grow a hundred feet tall and stomp on some wooden dummies?" Similar questions continued the entire time they stayed on the path to Generic Cave Dungeon One. Lucien could be thankful that it wasn't too out of the way so Rei couldn't bombard him with questions any longer.<br/><br/>Stepping up to the cave entrance, Rei followed one of the very first instructions she had gotten by uncorking the bottle with her teeth, spitting it out, then proceeded to chug its contents without a second thought. Finishing it in a single gulp, she held the empty container aloft in a similar manner to how she did during their trek, though she dramatically threw it against the ground to watch it shatter soon after. "Hey, I think it's working!"<br/><br/>She could probably have broken the glass before she drank the potion, but Rei couldn't help herself.
