[center] [h1][b]"Myrr" Velasien[/b][/h1] [h2]--- Springwood Forest --- [/h2] Interactions: [@Xaltwind], [@Remram], [@Zeroth] [/center] [hr] Walking alongside her companions, Myrravel found herself alternating between watching the pot containing their captive slime and considering Akitsugu's suggestions. [color=39b54a]"I hadn't considered the metallurgical applications,"[/color] she said thoughtfully, her earlier caution giving way to academic enthusiasm. [color=39b54a]"Though I'm not sure about... milking one."[/color] She couldn't quite suppress a small laugh at the idea. She adjusted her satchel as they walked, her mind clearly processing the possibilities. [color=39b54a]"But the acid properties could be fascinating to study. If we could understand how they break down organic matter..."[/color] She trailed off, watching the pot intentively [color=39b54a]"Though I suppose our first challenge will be figuring out how to safely get a sample from our new... guest."[/color] Her thoughts began to wander into the realm of experimental possibilities - different containment methods, reaction tests, perhaps even finding a way to neutralize their corrosive properties for safer handling. She was so absorbed in these alchemical daydreams that she didn't notice a loose stone in her path. Her foot caught on it, making her stumble slightly before she caught her balance. Her ears pinked as she glanced quickly at her companions, hoping they hadn't noticed. The sight of Brom's secure grip on the pot's lid reminded her of their earlier concern about touching the creature. [color=39b54a]"I should probably look through my notes first. And maybe find some proper equipment. The last thing we need is to discover its exact properties through trial and error."[/color] She glanced at Brom, a mix of curiosity and concern crossing her features. [color=39b54a]"Though I have to admit, I've never heard of anyone actually trying to eat one before. I'd be very interested to see how that turns out."[/color] Her pace quickened slightly as they neared the village, her mind already cataloging what she would need for proper research. [color=39b54a]"At the very least, this might help us understand how to better protect our supplies from wild ones in the future."[/color]
