Welcome to Gaia! ::

[[Many thanks, sir...ah...senor.]]

Jien removes the straw, and tucks it in his pocket. He then holds the mug above his head and pours the entire contents straight through the metal grating on his head, where it will reach his coolant systems quickest.

[[Most refreshhhh...shh...shh shh shh shh shh shh]]

While Jien normally emits a frequency which allows others to hear his words in their head, (though in their own voice, and not Jien's) something seems to have gone wrong, because the only sound anyone would be able to hear from Jien now would be the "shooka shooka" of maracas. The three children lower their sticks, slightly worried that their new toy might go nuclear.

Wagner looked to the vendor a bit nervously when addressed, realising the man had overheard his comment, but was soon distracted by the beverage placed in front of him.

"Oooh" he picked up the glass and instead of drinking it like most normal people, held the glass up to the light to examine the contents better, going as far as to remove his silvery spectacles and hold them closer to the glass to slightly magnify the liquid within. He seemed quite enthralled with the colour and texture of the drink, though evidently not for taste purposes, as he turned back to the stall owner without even sipping a drop.

"Oh, would you prefer both?" Wagner placed his spectacles back upon his pale face and started rummaging in his many pockets.

He produced several coins which he laid on the table for the man, and a slim glass vial of a translucent, sparkling liquid containing a number of small, clear gemstones which were assumedly diamonds. They shone in the sunlight brilliantly, accentuating the purity with which the lovecraftian alchemist had been able to create them. Wagner proceeded to use a pair of forceps to carefully pluck one of the glistening lumps of carbon out of the vial and lay it on the counter. The manner in which the sparkling, refractive liquid around the chunks of diamond reacted (and the lack of moisture on the produced one) hinted that perhaps this 'liquid' might just be made of many many far tinier micro-diamonds, diamond-ception!

"There you are sir, many thanks for the solution-I mean the drink. I will be sure to drink it... um, later, and totally not put it through any chemical tests" Wagner thanked the man.

Kyrie pierces her lips, watching Jien for a moment…wondering if perhaps he was having a negative reaction to the liquid refreshment…and now the steam from Dendrobis…? Well…steam wasn’t necessarily a bad thing…was it?

The dragoness’s eyes widened even more at the sudden sparkliness of Wagner’s diamonds. She took in a deep breath, holding for a moment as the memories of her uncle’s draconic hoarding came to mind. Hell…and dragon would desire something that glimmered so brilliantly, especially if it was worth more than anything else in all of the realms!

She felt hot…and quickly fanned herself as she averted her gaze. No…no…her keys were her hoard now; and a far worthier hoard than anything else she had encountered for the moment. Kyrie looked to Berkana and smiled broadly; glad to see her friend enjoying herself. The pastries did indeed look so scrumptious…

…and when she was allowed to try such a treat, the dragoness closed her eyes and side. “Divine.” She purred quietly, a bit lost in her own world filled with the delights of wonderfully tasting pastries…with the added comfort of her fan waving rapidly to help remain cool in the humid heat.

((Sorry my phone died on me as I sent the post so I had to retype it))

Sara was rather surprised that he offered her free food. On one hand she knew he had to make money, but on the other it was free food. She then figured if she onlyntook a little it would be okay....right? "May I have two of the pastries and two small limanzanas?" She asked ordering for Shadow and herself. When Shadow realized he would be getting treats by staying with Sara he flew back to her side. "And you are correct. I am looking forward to Verde's match as well." She said beaming at the man, Alberto, clearly excited.

However rather quickly she noticed that Jien's words were being replaced by the sound of maracas and that Dendrobis was even getting a bit silly. Part of Sara wanted to laugh at he silliness but another part of her was clearly worried about her friends.

"¡Estoy a su servicio!" *he's happy to oblige a Señiorita de Pilar, and he pulls out a fresh limanzana and promptly slices it into quarters. The normal serving is two quarters on a plate, so he offers her the four slices. He also makes a fresh empanada for her. He takes another fresh limanzana and shaves the skin off with a knife. Then he promptly dices it into tiny stringy pieces, then slices those in half. He rolls some dough and tosses it (like a pizza, except smaller). He adds some pre-prepared spices and a tiny bit of powdered sugar. He puts it in oil for about 15 seconds, then takes it out. He pats it with a towel and then pours a small glass of Citdra for her, and hands it to her.*

"Please enjoy. May the wind of the Divine Quetzagriffon guide your Boxador Vasallo's strikes."

"Metanfetamina?" in this instance the time taken for his translator to fully process some of the words worked against him, and for the life of him he could not figure out why the man refused to accept his diamond "Most strange, does it perhaps not have the chemical property you were looking for? I assure you it has minimal silicon impurities" he then seemed to come to a sudden conclusion in his mind... or just perhaps his wild imagination "Ah, you must have wanted boron fused diamonds as conductors, I'm terribly sorry, I'll be sure to bring one next time I pass by sir" the alchemist enthusiastically nodded at that man, misinterpreting the situation entirely.

He sniffed the air, catching a whiff of the steam being let out from Dendrobis beside him. It didn't smell like fire, or any sort of toxic substance, but considering the metal amphibian was steaming at all sort of triggered an instinct that told Wager he might be safer slightly further away.

Picking his diamond back up with his forceps he sidled as naturally as he could manage - in otherwords not naturally in the least - away from Dendrobis, and instead decided to strike up a conversation with Kyrie. He'd not remembered seeing her before, but hadn't thought much of it since Berkana seemed to be friendly towards her. He'd caught her looking quite intensely towards the diamonds he had taken out however, so thought this might be a good way to introduce himself to the elegantly robed lady.

"Would you like it instead, madam?" he addressed Kyrie politely, extending the forcep-gripped stone towards her "It seems they don't take them here and, well, I get far more chemical use out of the smaller ones, once synthesised they become rather hard to shape"

It perhaps said something about the alchemist that the only value he found in the precious stones seemed to be as reagents for his inquisitive alchemical experiments.

*Berkana finishes her empanada and overhears Alberto mention some interesting words.* "Excuse me...did you say 'Nagual'? And what's this about a 'Divine Quetzagriffon'?"
