"-My supplies are here. I’m sorry, there is benedryl in the cupboard behind you.” she had her nose buried in one of her books, hand moving based off of memory to grab the things she needed from the shelves behind her. After a few moments, Robby opened the cupboards gently, anxious to avoid breaking anything. The cupboards were covered in a thin layer of dust and Robby crinkled his nose.
“When was the last time you actually opened this thing?”
“Last time you were here, of course.”
“Ah, so you mean you haven’t?”
“Of course not.” she paused what she was doing to look up at him and make a puzzled face, “I don’t have any allergies.”
“Lucky you, Ariel.” he poped the top off of the bottle and stared into it with a vaguely dismayed expression, “So then how do I know it isn’t bad?”
“Uhmmm…” she thought for a moment before speaking again, “Are they still pink?”
“Oh.. Hm yea.”
“Then you should be fine!” he shrugged and drops one of the pink tablets onto his tongue before swallowing it dry. “I didn’t think that’d actually work.”
“YOU LIED?! WHAT IF I DIE!?” she snorted at his outburst and continued to create whatever concoction she was working on.
“You won’t die. Also I didn’t lie, I said you Should be fine.” Ariel snapped the book shut and placed it down on the counter next to her. “And anyway, Zimba would just bring you back.”
“Oh the last thing I want to do is be a fucking zo-” the cauldren burst with a brilliant blue light before Zimba’s face appeared. “O-vernment fucking scum!” Robby swiftly corrected and gave a nervous smile. “Sorry, Ariel fed me expired benedryl.”
The face nodded sagely.
“Should you find yourself having any adverse reactions and dead, please do have your creatures escort you to me.”
“No offense Zimba, but when I die you won’t be able to get me out of where I’m going.” Robby said lightheartedly.
“... Ariel.”
“Yes, Z, Robby’s demonic entities say that todays the day.”
“Today?” for the first time since Robby met Zimba she looked surprised. “Are you sure, Robby?”
“Wouldn’t come here without being certain. I’m in hiding remember?”
“Ah yes, from the Magus…”
