By The Way! Can You Describe Your Little Guest For Us?

Maybe you're in luck, then! Let us know how it goes!

Of course. I will mention the result whenever I have the chance to ask her next.

Have you ever made any neat science discoveries?

Oh! I have made some discoveries in the area of alchemy and herbal pharmaceuticals. Many of my works have been published as well which has provided me ample satisfaction to make up for the more drab of my works that will hardly ever make it to publication. Hastie and I have even shared a few works which was rather exciting!

Do any of you have any repair skills, or will you need to find someone to do it?

Neither of us are particularly skilled in the matter of carpentry. We will be working on locating someone in order to mend the shelf at the earliest convenience. I intend to check if there is anyone who may be willing to assist us whenever I go into town again — I am hoping for luck in that matter.

Can you check the slim edges for me? There should be a small button somewhere there! Press that one, please!

… Oh, yes. I have located one. I am pressing it-

… I am unsure of what I was expecting but it was not that. How peculiar…

Oh… I suppose that that makes sense! May I ask how you may know this…?

Hi! How's it going? I'm Nate; I'm kind of a ghost because I died a couple of times!

Ah- Hello? I was not aware that you would be able to communicate so easily… I presumed that spirits must communicate rather shortly as mentioned in the many books.

… I do not believe that that was a proper way for me to greet you. My apologies. Hello, it is nice to meet you, Nate. I was told of you being deceased, I hope that whichever afterlife you may be participating in is acceptable…?

Anyone tell you how handsome you are?

Oh- Why thank you for saying that. I have heard that on occasion but it is still kind of you to say nonetheless.

Maybe your patients would like a cat being around? As long as it doesn't mess with your equipment, it should be fine, right?

Hah, fortunately, I am careful to shelf and lock and of our medicinal glasses. We would potentially be able to make it work by closing off Hastie’s office as well…? Regardless, I believe it best to consider this for some time before acting on this whim.

Do you believe in ghosts?

I-... Believe that there may be some things that are unexplainable to the common person. I suppose that I would consider myself among the common people in that regard as well.

There is much potential and evidence for ghouls and spirits to exist. I try to not place too much attention on the possibility of apparitions though. My focus is in maintaining the living rather then concerning myself over the dead; after all.

Hah, you charmer! Likewise, thank you!

Of course. Do take care.
