"Hi, Dolly. How've you been?"
There's a certain affection in the mage's face as she addresses you.
( @merlinarteria )
｡𖦹°‧— "Magister, hello! Today has been pretty calm, I got to try a few new mixes in my spare time, learning what works and what doesn't. How about you?"
｡𖦹°‧— "You're looking a little... dazed, there. Would you like something to drink while you tell me about your ventures?"
I'm glad you're doing fine.
Oh... who? Who's dazed? Me?
Hah! S-Sorry. I haven't been feeling well lately. The weather's hot outside.
Got to be careful with my words... I don't think this is my Dolly at all. In unknown lands I have no choice but to make this assumption. I won't let this conversation happen like last time.
I still need to find my way back.
New mixes, I see! If you don't mind, I'd like to try what you're working on. Maybe that'll make me feel all better in no time~
｡𖦹°‧— "I know just the thing!"
⋆˚꩜｡(After a while of Dolly moving back and forth behind the counter, she presents the drink to the Magister, it's sweet, but not invasive.)⋆˚꩜｡
｡𖦹°‧— "One Elemental Syrup, I learnt this one from a curious group of people... one of them was a very talented cook. It's sweet and it will get your energy pumped right up!"
｡𖦹°‧— "Make yourself comfortable, Magister."
( Arteria takes the glass from the counter, and takes a sip.
She tastes honey in her mouth, her tastebuds exploding with overwhelming sweetness in all the right ways. Somewhere in the mixture there's a hint of wine, but it's not enough to intoxicate.
No matter the universe, Dolly always knows how to make a killer drink. )
That was delightful. Thank you, Dolly.
( ...
No matter how much she tries to ignore it, there's a nagging thought in the back of her head.
Arteria will have no choice but to address it. Now. )
I... I can't stay.
No matter how good it is to see her again, this is not my Dolly. This is not even my realm. I...
I need to go back.
Dolls, I...
I need your help.
