Description

Mercy was quite surprised at the size of the cabin, as she entered. Given it looked nowhere near as large from the outside, she took this to have been an optical illusion, and was convinced this woman was much more than an alchemist. The pair proceeded through a spacious living area, and Denni opened a door at the far end.

Denni: Enter, but touch nothing, if you please.

Mercy entered what was obviously Denni's work area, amazed at all the herbs, and jars of various concoctions on the shelves.

Denni: This is where I work my magic, so to speak! (Grins)

Mercy: I'm so eager to learn your trade.

Denni: And you shall. What piques your interest more, sygaldry, sympathy or alchemy?

Mercy: I heard you are one of the few that can call on the name?

Denni: Ah! You are interested in the naming then? That would all depend on the strength of your mind.

Mercy: I'm strong-willed enough!

Denni: (Laughs) I'm sure you are, but that is not everything to it. Now strip off! (Hands her a sponge)

Mercy: HUH?

Denni: You will bathe, and no arguing about it. I will not have you slip between my sheets all grimy.

Mercy: How do you mean? (Concerned) I'm not that kind of girl!

Denni: (Laughs) That's not my intentions. I mean it like I say! You will stay clean whilst in my presence. Contamination of ingredients can destroy, or even alter, a good experiment.

Mercy: Oh! I see. (Starts to strip out of her clothes)

Denni: Let me help you there! (Smiles)

Denni mutters a few arcane words, unfamiliar in sound to the would be apprentice, then looks down to find herself naked as the day she was born, her clothing lying neatly folded, and refreshed on the small bed.

Mercy: How?

Denni: I will teach you. given time.
