"well I'm not you, and thank the heavens I'm not. Your slow." She huffed still sifting through the leaves. "I'm getting leaves obviously, I came from my shop over yonder somewhere in the distance as to who am I….I'm too lazy for that one."

Crefus stepped away and looked up at the girl as she continued to search the leaves. He had no idea how to register what he just heard. He had no idea what a 'heavens' was, and this girl isn't giving many answers to his questions. He could only sigh in resignation and scratch the part of his head between his horns. He realized he of all people shouldn't judge others for their appearance. "Um… why are you getting leaves?" He walked towards the almond tree and inspected each leaf closely, one that fits Liza's requirements.

"man your slow. I'm a witch" she huffed poking him. The cat left her and went to him again.

Crefus sigh's again. "Alright, what are you going to use the leaves for? A potion? An herb? Something as ridiculous sounding as a 'human?' I don't know what your business here is." He turns over the collected leaves In his claws and tucks them into his pocket delicately. He decided to ask another question. "And what's with the cat? Is he your familiar?"

"hhmmm? The cat was with you so I assumed he was your pet." The cat hissed when she said he. "Oh shoot sorry girl," the cat huffed. "My familar is uhhh well I d k buuut I do have a pet owl." A small owl flew by and landed on her shoulder. "hey puff." Pets happened. "anyway I'm a human, it's not a thing it's a being. I'm making potions."

"Oh!" Crefus was genuinely surprised the cat wasn't with her. And that the cat was a girl. "Well I don't have a familiar. I can't… make a contract or stuff like that." It's weird to explain his universally known situation to someone he's never met before. He gingerly pets the side of the cats head with the rounded side of his claw. "Well, you and your owl seem like a… an interesting crew and all, but I've got to get going. I need to get some sap from a whole other tree." He begins to walk away from the girl. "See you around… what's your name?" He stopped and faced her with an inquisitive look on his face.

"Melidosa, friends call me Meli though." She smiles at him as puff makes nosies towards him. The cat purrs and paws him.

"Huh, well if you need some sap, Melidosa, just follow me." He walks off through a thick curtain vine of leaves and marches forward with confidence. He makes sure to pick up and maneuver the little cat so it wouldn't be swept away.

Melidosa just floats next to him weaving through the vines and petting the cat every once and a while whole her owl sits on her shoulder undisturbed.

Crefus isn't exactly sure how he's going to explain to the Witches that there's ANOTHER witch with him that looks nothing like them. He fidgets nervously with the leaves in his pocket at the thought of how they would react to her. They were sweet gals and wouldn't hurt anyone for no reason. Maybe Cate. Maybe. He's not sure. He decides a little conversation would ease his anxiety. "Soooo, where're you from? You don't exactly look local." He then wonders if maybe he ended up in her world, but that sounds silly. Surely he hadn't somehow wondered in a whole other realm, right?

"I told you, I came from my shop over yonder" she waved her hand lazily in a random direction. "why do you care so much about it huh?"

Crefus clasped his hands together, shut his eyes in annoyance, and let out yet another hefty sigh. "Because I am at least 60% sure that you are NOT from here. Necrotzen are covered in fur and super tall and super dangerous. You are WAY too short, WAY too bare, and WAY too colorful. Fur rarely is any color other than black, but that green is hurting my eyes." He feigned pain as he rubbed his face in discomfort, but her hair truly was an outlier in most circumstances. "And you are definitely not a Kleiname. You don't have any horns or single scale on you. You probably came from another world all together." He paused momentarily. "Unless I ended up in your world. But that's the least likely scenario. Besides that, I'm just worried about you kid, it's easy to get hurt or even killed around here."

She groaned, "bla bla bla bla bla bla stop acting like a mom. I can take care of myself I litterally got attacked by a werewolf vampire hybrid I think I'm fine." She huffed at him waving the hair in his face. "oooh I'm sooooo sorrryyy about my hair."

All of a sudden, Crefus was attacked by strands of bright neon green hair and had to pbfbfbft it out of his face. "Hey! Quit it" He wiped his mouth roughly and looked at the girl with daggers in his eyes. "Listen hear, kid. I'm not playing games! I don't know what you mean by 'werewolves' or 'vampires' or what other made up nonsense you wanna spit, but this world looks at outliers like you as dead meat. They hate things that're different from them, both Necrotzen and Kleiname. I'm a walking testimony to that!" He lifted his arms up for emphasis and pointed at his curved horns. "Matter of fact, tell me where your headed and I'll escort you there myself. I'm not boasting anything powerful or ancient but I can hold my own in a fight if we get attacked." He absentmindedly pet the cat gently as he thought about his words.

She giggled when he had to hey the hair out of his face. "I guess, or I could just follow you around everywhere until I go back to my shop. It has a protection spell over it "

(I SAID THE WRONG "HERE" I'M SO EMBARRASED) Crefus groaned in response. So this is what he gets for trying to be a kind and caring person, huh? But he might as well since he already gave that declaration of protection two seconds ago. "Alright kid, whatever you want to do. Just don't die on my watch. That'd be too much for one day." He pinches the space between his eyes and sighs. "Okay, if I know my way around the woods, then the tree should be somewhere up ahead, but that's a fat ass 'maybe' so hopefully I'm right." He continues the trek and side eyes the girl as she floats next to him. She looks completely at ease and isn't struggling at all. It's strange and familiar all at once. "How are you able to sustain yourself like that without using Rehtea Magic?"

(it's fine lol!)

"what the heck is Rehtea magic?" She titled her head at him.

Crefus' eyes widen and he stopped in his tracks. Oh boy, this was gonna be a looong day. "Okay." He started off strong. "So, there's like, a certain amount of magic contained in one body at one time, right?" He cups his hands to his chest. "So, when you use magic, that container gets emptier every time you use it." He puts out his arms as if he were pushing something away. "Levitating takes a lot out of that container when using Rehtea Magic, which is, like, when you uhhh…" His arms falter and his eyes shift to the ground, his face contorting into focus. "So, the world is one way, and you make it another by- wait." He falters more and his eyes now point up, looking through his thoughts with confusion. "Rehtea magic is when you mess with your… wait or maybe it's more like when you control it." He squints his eyes shut and puts his palms to his temples. "It's! It's when you! Do things your not supposed to?" He fails miserably. "Ugh, okay listen, I can't use magic all that much, all right? I don't know a bunch about it either. Cate could explain it way better." Pause. "Scratch that; Liza could explain it way better." He sheepishly places his hand at the back of his neck and places the other one on the cat on his head. "Just forget I said anything, let's get to the stupid tree." He began to walk again with his head down. His arms fell and his shoulders were slumped.

She booped him. "don't worry about it, I could never do necromancy anyway either.' she floated along side him. "stupid tree it is."

Crefus gave a very concerned look on his face, "That's, that's not the same- ah whatever." He waved his hand dismissively as he approached a wide clearing in the forest. In the center was a tall proud tree with bark colored a strange shade of crimson. It's leaves were small and pale with streaks of dark red. "Okay here it is. From what I remember, this tree is watered by blood or something. Like animals die next to it and it drinks from them. I dunno, just don't decompose next to it and you should be fine." He said all this bluntly as he puts his hand on the trunk and observes the tree closely. "Liza said she needed its sap, so I gotta get it somehow." He straightens up and puts a finger to his chin and mumbles to himself as he eyes the tree, deep in thought.

Meli just casually stabs the tree and puts a bike underneath as it drops into the vile and she caps the vile. "Like that?"

(A bike?? Like a bicycle?? Is that how sap collecting works?)

(its supposed to say vile….hwo vile auto corrected to bike i don't know.)

(Oh, I think you mean vial. Vial is a little glass tube to hold things and vile means bad or gross)

(yes. that.)

Crefus flinched at the sound of the squealing bark as Meli nonchalantly took the sap from the tree, its blood red innards spilling into the glass vial. "Uh, I mean. Whatever gets it out, I guess. Thanks." He looked at the incision she made into the tree. It's sap really did look like blood. It made Crefus' own run cold in disgust. "Let's… get that bear saliva now." He spilled the words out of his mouth sloppily and rapidly, wanting to stop smelling how rancid and dead it reeked. He makes a big step away from the tree back towards the encircling forest area.

"ooh~" She was like wowed how much the tree sap looked like blood. "Man this shade of red is nice." She didn't mind the smell at all. "Onto bear spit then."

((OOC: Mm, tempted to throw a charrie in…))

(Hey, go ahead! The more characters the merrier!) Crefus' spine shivered like a hatching egg at her fascination of the sap. "Dude, I'm like 20% sure that's blood from the animals in this forest. But another 40% thinks that it's just how sap looks and it's not actually blood. But 50% of me is a dumbass so don't assume everything I'm saying is even legit." He goes back into his pocket and brings out the list again to review the complex requirements for the 'bear' aspect of the formula. "Okay, mama bear, two cubs, one boy one girl, boy has dark fur, and mama's gotta be asleep." He sighed dramatically and stuffed it back into his pocket. "This sounds so stupid but I get paid in food and friendship so let's find that bear. I think a den should be an easy find. There are tons of bear in this forest. They're not dangerous most of the time, unless they're elemental. In which case, we gotta book it."
