Turning his eyes to Belle and nodding his head politely at the time Alexander spoke in reply to her. "I trust Samuel and I was pleased to see him here, but I didn't know what to expect when coming here." Well, at least he didn't know who to expect, and what exactly, he had his own theories on a few things but those would lay in rest a while more. "Nonetheless, I am glad if he has chosen to speak of me in a nice manner then."<br/><br/>Samuel and this Belle knew one another and seemed to be friends then, that was good enough for him, he trusted in Samuel and by that extent, he trusted to Belle as well. "As for our heads, I personally prefer them where they are, even if they may ache some mornings and seem to be made of wood at times, people still like to carry on living. Sometimes, though, comes forth something so interesting that risks become a passing thought, and I believe we have our own interests that have brought us here." He cast a look at Asleod's direction, smiling to the man and then turning to have a new look around.<br/><br/>Staring at Lebanon a moment he shrugged faintly, sighing after hearing the comment spoken towards him. "I make what is necessary. If a girl has to face a risk of pregnancy but is quite certain that she does not want a child in this world at the time being, I can usually help with a concotion that keeps her 'fairly safe' for a while. Kind enough that it wont do any permanent harm either, as bad as it might make me for creating such a brew, I think that given the circumstances it might be the wisest option for some ladies at times." He didn't feel particularily proud of that mixture, but if it kept orphans from having to fend for themselves alone in the streets in the future, he was hopeful it was the right choice.<br/><br/>Turning his gaze back as Asleod he spoke seriously though. "I guess we are not all here though, seeing how our mutual friend has remained a touch quiet for now. Ahh, perhaps I should have brought a bit more hangover cures along if we have a while to wait for the others." He commented this half-jokingly, looking around, turning his eyes to Samuel. "Speaking of which, do you think you could arrange me to get some fresh ingredients sometime soon. I was thinking of putting a bit of time to creating a bit more of that makeup that sells fairly well to some women. I think I got the herbs for some more alchemist's kindness and birth shields, as well as flash powder and such, but my stocks are dwindling little by little. A mere thought for later, we can talk it through at a later time of course." He smiled at Samuel, being careful to not mention anything more 'illegal' though, among people he did not know well enough yet.<br/><br/>Then he paused on hearing the arrival of Daniel, pausing and having his eyes widen at the sight of the man and his 'pet'. The alchemist silently reached into his pocket and lifted out one of the blackened eggs, speaking up. "Asleod, I sure hope you invited him yourself. It would be a pity to make a mess here." He spoke warily, he hadn't expected an actual nobleman to show up.<br/><br/>The egg in his hand did not hold any particular smell, beyond a faint odor of something mildly dusty.<br/><br/>(OOC: For those in the 'Know', figuring at least Samuel but whoever has run into the rumors about the alchemist and his 'traps' for shoplifters, the particular smell is something rather equilevant to gunpowder but more volatile. He keeps it stable, and makes it blow up when necessary, with a faint bit of actual 'magic' in it, small enough to pass unnoticed at least this far, but with still a serious danger to it)<br/><br/>His eyes looked over this fellow a moment, then sighing and holding to the black-shelled egg silent at the time and scratching his cheek. "Hmm, just surprised to see this kind of a person joining the company today."<br/><br/>((OOC: Also, perception roll at +7, Roll of 4, and Total 11. The alchemist misses the ring at least. HERE (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=26817) you can find the actual roll, made with the dicebot on the site. ))
