"I picked up some potions while out with Vastra. But I'll keep them a secret for now." Alys would look up at Yvan, winking playfully. "I'm curious to see what you bring back while out shopping with Courage." She'd nod before reaching a hand up to his face to gently brush a thumb against his cheek. "Have fun. And I hope you get some rest." The elf would smile softly.

(Arcana? to see if Alys knows anything about Golems?: 18 + 5 if I can use history knowledge
Does she know anyone who could tell Courage about Golems? investigation?: 26 )

The archaeologist would quirk her head when Courage would mention golems. She'd try racking her brain to see if she knew of anything that could help their companion.

Alys would smile widely when Vastra would encourage Stella to stay with them.

"We should probably wait to see if Kasha responds to Vastra's message at all," Yvan mentions, a bit solemnly, to Courage when he brings up them heading right off to see the slumbering prophetess. "Also to... regather ourselves after the, uh... teleportation incidents..." He clears his throat.

"Oh?" Yvan tilts his head to the side when Alys mentions her purchase of some potions, though eventually let's out a low chuckle when she shoots a small playful wink to him. "We'll see, then." The goliath leans into her touch, a small smile dancing at the corners of his lips, and before she pulls her hand away, he takes it in his free hand and presses a gentle kiss on her knuckles.

When Courage asks about golems, Yvan cocks a brow. He truthfully didn't explore the town much when they were there. "I don't no... They might...?" He looks over the women.

"Now see, That's also what I figured. Which is why the whole teleporting anyways threw me for a loop in more ways than one," Courage chuckled, though without as much of the usual mirth. "Ah, but uh, I wasn't.. er... I mean-...." He looks up to Yvan. "If you want me to accompany you on your shopping trip, Mr. Yvan, it would be a pleasure, of course. Though, perhaps not nearly as much as it would be for some others." He glances slyly to Alys, seeming to have finally clued in on the changes with the pair. What with the last kiss on the knuckles being hard to ignore.

"Baborla! Lets get going either way. I'll just ask whichever shop keep you intended to visit, since some ingredients probably have lead to some competitions between them and anyone interested in the golem manufacturing arts." It's then Courage starts hobbling at least a few feet down the street, only to then turn back to Yvan and ask, "Uh... which way goin'?"

Alys knows that golems are elemental spirits inhabiting material flesh, as they are created when an artificial body, usually made out of clay, stone, metal, or discarded body parts, is forged to house a spirit from the Elemental Plane of Earth.

A low chuckle comes from Yvan at Courage's words, though his cheeks do flush a light crimson. "Of course you're welcome to accompany me, Courage. You definitely know more about potions than I do." He gives the girls a final nod, and Alys and kiss on the forehead before fully pulling away from her. "Enjoy yourselves." 

He watches them off before turning to the tiefling already hobbling off in the other direction before stopping and looking back to him. He opens his mouth to give a direction, then closes it when he realizes he has absolutely no idea which direction they needed to go. The barbarian didn't exactly explore the town when they were there, so he didn't even know if this place had a set shop that sold potions. With its size though, it must have, all they needed to do was find it. "... I do... not know... But... the day is nice for a walk...? We should find it... eventually..."

This time it was Courage's turn to chuckle again, as well as shake his head in amusement. Even Souperb seems to burble, shake, and hold its transparent tummy. "Can't say that was the answer I'd been expecting. But, I'm always for a good adventure! And who knows! Maybe we'll stumble onto something to, uh-..." He sort of trails off for a moment, expression darkening at the time, before then suddenly brightening again as he goes over and playfully punches Yvan in the arm.

"AnywaysAnyways! Let's be on then, shall we? If we can find a sort of market district there, then we'll surely find our shops... and worst case scenario, we can always ask around. Though keep your wits about you, Lad. Depending on how much the stories of your company has grown in the area, you may find a few trying to woo you for more reasons than one. And we can't have that now can we?" He winks, and then after looking at the paths before them, decides to pick one at random to start off their mini adventure through town.

Alys would visibly melt from Yvan's affections, cheeks still pink, her smile still shy, but not as hidden. "We will." She'd beam up at him. "Have fun and be safe! Don't get into too much trouble." She'd tease, knowing he wasn't one to ever cause too much mischief. Though she did miss the ruckus and giggles... It was time to cause her own. "Please message when you return safe?"

The elf would turn to Courage with a smile. She'd pull out a piece of parchment that she wrote some notes on, reaching it out. "I've copied what information I recall on Golems. Hopefully this is of some help to you. I'm happy to help research or find any missing information you may be looking for." Alys would insist. "Now go for a nice walk on the beach, shop for your potions, enjoy a good meal or something, show our mountain man a good time." She'd wink, swaying her hip to bump into Yvan. The blonde would let out a chuckle, giving Yvan's hand one last squeeze. She'd pop up on her tip toes, hopping to plant a quick kiss on his cheek before skipping off.

"While I've got the girls!" Alys would loop her arms under Vastra and Stella's, scooping them up and swooping them off with her. "I hope you like brownies!" She'd head in the wrong direction first, but Vastra would eventually redirect her the right way to the room. Right?

"They're the special brownies, right?" Vastra says while spinning her apprentice around so that she's in the right direction. The room is what you slept in earlier, with well-made beds with silk sheets and a nicely sized bathroom with a fancy tub and latrine.

Stella grins. "Sign me up for brownies, special or otherwise."

Alys couldn't help but let out some giggles in excitement. "A little bit of everything!" Not only did she get to hang out with the girls, but even more special to her, the wizard would be able to share some of the products made from her and Yvan's hard work in the garden. Once in the room, and tugged into the center, she'd finally let go of Stella and Vastra so she had full range of her arms.

Humming to herself, the blonde would bubble up on her tip toes as she'd raise her hands. With a few wiggles of her fingers she'd use her telekinetic powers to open her bag of holding and begin floating things out. An assembly line of goodies would begin to arrange themselves in a display on the table, complete with little name tags, descriptions and even cheat sheets.

On one side of the table were modest portions of a variety of medicinal munchies, each available in their choice of CBD and THC.
(Cheat sheet: CBD = Body buzz, THC = Brain fuzz)
- Peanut butter brownies
- Chocolate chip cookies
- Cherry flavoured gummies
- Chocolate covered nuts
- Rice crispy squares

On the other side of the table, were the non medicated versions of the others but with additions.
- Fruit tray
- Veggie tray
- Charcuterie
- Chips
- Special Courage and Souperb spread featuring some of his iconic recipes

In the middle of the table was a virgin punch with choice of alcohol and spirits lined up behind it. There were some smaller bottles tagged with a calligraphy MF on it. She didn't know how good it would be, as she was only experimenting, but Alys wanted to try and surprise them. It was supposed to be something to accommodate those who didn't participate in the herbs. She didn't want to leave any one out.
- Your usual spread of local alcohol
- Homemade Misfit Vodka (Potatoes)
- Homemade Misfit Cider (Berries)
- Homemade Misfit Wine

Once the sustenance table was arranged, Alys would flick on the tunes. "Taking requests!" She'd smile brightly, dimple sunken in to her cheek.

Moving on to the pampering items next, with a few flicks of her wrist spa items would begin their ascent from the bag, dancing their way into the large spa like bathroom. Oils, bubble baths and bathbombs of different scents, colours and shapes would line themselves up on a counter. Containers of mud masks, body scrubs, serums and moisturizers follow. Again, choices included CBD options.

Sweeping two hands up, bundles of wildflowers recognizable from the garden would dance around, finding sconces and vases to display themselves in. One colourful bundle remained. Alys would bring her hands together and make a playful explosion gesture. The flowers would burst like butterflies, floating through the air until they'd settle in their place over the area. And no bath area would be complete without a range of candles. Blowing into her palm, the candles would puff to life.

Lastly, Alys would prepare the session area. Moving a low table to the center, she'd then make playful exaggeration gestures of her pulling things out of the bag herself, but from far away. Big comfy colourful pillows would pop out and arrange themselves around the table. Then she'd switch to more delicate hand gestures. Different glass jars filled with different trimmed green buds levitate their way to the table, followed by a myriad of paraphernalia. A colourful handblown glass collection would begin presenting itself and this is when the elfs cheeks would start to darken a little bit. This was a personal collection to her that she rarely got the chance to share. They were options for the girls to try if they wanted, and she'd be happy to help or teach them how to use any of them.

The largest piece found its place in the centre. It was an opaque golden glass hookah with blue tubing. Next stood a mostly clear beaker water pipe (bong), rimmed in cotton candy pink, with an ice catch. Colder air made for a smoother inhale. Smaller to those were two types of pipes. One was a long matte blue wizard pipe while the other was a small hand held pearl. This one resembled a unicorn horn and would change colours when smoke would pass through it. Then there were more natural items. There's simple carved wooden tray, bud grinder, a rolling mechanism and papers that would have been made from Yvan's skilled hands.

Alys would finish her unpacking by pulling out a light blue silk nighty with some lace trimming and some slippers, laying them on a bed.

She'd turn to look at the girls with a warm smile. "I hope you like..."

Stella pulls Alys into a hug, beaming. "Alys, this is amazing! Thank you so much for doing all of this!" The rogue picks up a CBD peanut butter brownie and takes a bite, making a happy noise and giving Alys a thumbs up. "Mmm...that's really good." She starts selecting spa materials as she munches on the rest of the brownie.

"Eee!" Alys would giggle excitedly getting pulled into Stella's hug, happy to return it. "You're welcome." She'd smile. "Happy to do it, and to share!"

The elf would float a few gummies, chomping on them as she tiptoed her way to pour some punch for herself making sure to grab some fresh fruit in it, adding a shot of MF Vodka, a drop of sweet syrop and a squeeze of orange slice. "A drink?" She'd offer to mix one of their choosing if they'd like.

"Thank you Alys, you really go all out when you treat people." Vastra will help herself to one of the CBD chocolate chip cookies before collecting a handful or two of chips and putting them on her plate. As she moves towards a seat, she uses Mage Hand to pour herself a glass of the homemade wine before finally sitting down.

Stella makes a noise of agreement and finishes selecting her spa supplies. "Pina colada for me?" she requests as she snags a cookie for later.

"Eh? Uhh, wha-..." Is about all Courage can muster in between receiving the last minute note, and seeing Alys skip away to join the others. While it was more than possible to have tried harder, the tiefling almost immediately dismissed the thought, and merely grinned at the pair, if but for a moment. Trusting Yvan to follow once Alys had skipped off, the tiefling would idly read the notes on their way hopefully to the right shop... eventually.

"Fairly standard approach.. Souperb isn't too dissimilar... could still use such a spirit as a base, but..." And on he rambled at various points during the trip when not otherwise occupied by other matters at hand.  Unfortunately, unless Yvan reminds Courage of Alys suggestion of a "boy's day out", the tiefling was rather literal about laying down once their business concluded, and was not "above" sleeping the rest of the day away back at the inn.

"I like to spoil people who help me and mean a lot to me." Alys' cheeks of course darkened, but she was still beaming. "Show appreciation when I can, when the opportunity and inspiration arises." She'd wave her hands and fingers for items to gather and pour, making Stella's drink and floating it to her when it was done. The elf would smile. "Thank you for your friendship and patience as I learn." She'd raise her glass in a toast.

When Alys mentions messaging her when they return, Yvan gives her a nod in affirmation and a small smile. It falters a bit at the kiss on the cheek (a blush blossoming on his face again), but it returns, just a bit wider as he watches her skip off with the girls.

An apology comes from the barbarian when Courage says he wasn't expecting that kind of an answer from him. The goliath never really was one to go about exploring towns, he left that mainly to everyone else, and would, at most, find himself lingering about the edges of places, and in the forest if the town had one. He does note the slight darkening in the tieflings expression, tilting his head to the side, but decides to not question it for now.

His cheeks do flush up once again when Courage mentions potential wooing, the goliath immediately shaking his head at the thought. "N-no. There's only one person I want..." He mumbles quietly. He follows behind the tiefling as he rambles off about, what he would assume, would be the possible construction of a golem? "... What's with the sudden interest?" He questions. "Uh... About golems, I mean."

"You're very welcome." Stella smiles and raises her glass to Alys. "I'm happy to be your friend, and not just for the special brownies." She winks.

Alys' dimple never faded from her cheek. She'd sip back her drink. Tonight it went down real smooth. She finished the glass! "I hope not!" The elf would let out a little giggle, feeling the warmth in her face, but she'd help herself to a refill. She'd also help herself to some chocolate covered nuts and a special cookie before floating some fruit onto her plate.

"Do we wanna play one of those games?" She'd propose. "I think I remember humans saying, 'Never have I ever...' and if you have, you drink. I think." The blonde would muse out loud before shrugging.

"We can certainly do so, but in the interest of fairness, I have 150 years on the both of you, so I think that the both of you would lose."
