Need something?

[Pandora Valis]

Pandora was happily humming away at her shop, the skirt of her dress moving around her legs as she walked and refilled jars with dried ground leaves that were to be sold. She was casual today but dressed like a proper noble lady should. Around her slender waist was an apron that held a pair of silver scissors in the pocket and a quill from her recently writing out an order.

Moving over to her fireplace, she would toss a few herbs in the flames, watching the fire eat them and to allow the spread of the warm soothing scent around the shop. She loved this place.

Pulling out a rag, she would be moving around to clean up any dust she saw when the bell chimed over her door and she would turn and dip into a small curtsy, "Hello! Welcome to the Moon Flower, can I help you with anything today?" she inquired sweetly. Her voice was kind and soft, it matched the bright green of her eyes as she would look to the gentleman.

Vance had finished his last round of the morning patrols, he assigned the next shifts, and did his weekly inspection of the Guard. It was Warden work time and Vance was eager to begin, he was in the initial phase of his current case. Poisoning. Or what he expected to be a poison of sorts, he mostly needed information of where this potential posion came from and his properties.

Dressed in his blackest of black outfits, hair jet black and messy, he picked out an eyepatch that had silver embroidered patterns on it, and with his enchanted shackles hanging from his side the Bolton through a heavy cloak over his shoulders and headed for the only shop that he felt could give him the answers he needed. The Moon Flower.

Upon entering Vance threw an eye up at the bell, there went his usual approach of having the element of surprise. The owner, Pandora he recalled, quickly greeted him. She seemed....nice....but he returned with a pleasant smile to her welcome statement.

"Salutations young lady, Vance Bolton, Captain Vance of the Teronna Guard," she had pretty eyes he thought for a passing second before he paced the out most wall of the shop, hands clasped behind his back and with each step you could hear the shackles clack, "Don't be alarmed, Pandora Valis? I believe? I'm investigating a recent poisoning at tavern outside the city and I need a more professional opinion about an item discovered at the scene."

Gloved hands slipped inside his heavy cloak and pulled out a vial of a purple powder, "I won't lie, one of our dimmer guards breathed just a little in and was out for a damn full three days, so how you approach this is your call. I need to know if you can tell what this is, where it is from, and its potency. Please."

[Pandora Valis]

Pandora would look at the gentleman, taking him in while she folded her hands against her lap before she felt her internal body just stiffen. Did someone have a complaint against her? She hadn't done anything... Her mind was a million questions as he said her name before smiling and nodded, "Yes, that is me, Captain Bolton," she told him politely before her eyes just went wide at hearing about a poisoning. That had her attention. " Please uhm Lady Valis would be proper enough," she told him with a sweet smile but internally she was nervous. Boltons had a reputation and one was in her shop.

"Of course, let me shut the door, I don't want someone to walk in and accidentally get hurt," she told him first. She cared way too much about the people and her reputation for someone to get hurt because the poison was brought into her shop- at least one she didn't bring in safely. The sound of shackles though clacking around his belt had her internally tensing a bit but she kept her emotions calm as she went to her door and flipped the sign for lunch and then went back to him.

"Oh...it sounds like it's meant to be ingested more than inhaled," she told him as she would take the powder from him if he let her. She would look at the vial, her brows furrowing a little bit and if he didn't protest, she would take it to her counter and set it down very carefully on her desk as she would go to pulling out a pair of gloves and a small mask for herself to wear, "Was someone hurt with it? If so I need you to tell me all the details and spare nothing- even grim," she told him, a sadness on her face at that but it was the only way for her to know how it worked. She couldn't very well taste it in front of him but she had enough knowledge to sues it out with information.
