The man threw back his head and laughed. It was short, dry sound, and died rapidly when he calmed again.<br/>"I think you misunderstood me. I don't intend to get my guard to drink the potion, but the girl. What good would it be for him to be even more in love and still as stupid and shy?"<br/>He paused to observe her reaction, than continued.<br/>"The sleeping potion is just what i need, though - I take it I can just chew the capsule after I wake up, right? And about that powder, I'm inclined to simply say 'yes'. If it's anything like what you describe, it would be indeed worth a lot. How much about it?"<br/>He seems more alive now, his eyes glittering with a dark light as what he desires seems so close and easy to take. His eyes don't leave the red vial even for a split second, as if afraid she might hide it.
