Bryce politely pushed his empty flagon over to Ikki, then followed Felix up the stairs to the rooms.

"Hey, I tried, but they followed us," Jinx informed Alcharius, after she finished off her wine, she followed Bryce up the stairs.

"Oh, I wasn't talking about that..." Alcharius sighed. "But that's also true."
Upstairs, once they'd passed the ruckus the dwarves were making in the first couple of rooms ("Gorum! Put that down! RIGHT THIS INSTANT!"), Felix glanced over his shoulder at Bryce. "Hey, Bryce, can I speak to you in private?" He sounded a little on edge. Nervous.

"You may." Bryce said, opening the door to one room and walking in, holding the door for Felix.

"Thanks," Felix answered gratefully, though still tensely, walking into the room. Once inside, he began rubbing his neck a little. "So... I didn't want to say this in front of all those others, but..." He hesitated, looking for words. "You remember what I was researching, right?"

"I do, yes." Bryce said, going and sitting down on a chair.

Jinx found a room that she would be content in staying in. She laid on the bed and closed her eyes. Not falling asleep but, she was day dreaming about that kiss that Bryce and her shared.

"Well..." Felix went on, pausing, then finishing, "I succeeded." Even beneath his nerves, his excitement was palpable. "I made a Philosopher's Stone."

Bryce stared in awe for a moment, then spoke. "... Well shizzle my dizzle..."

Lilium got up and put the fire out, and went searching for at least one of her companions as she closed the door softly, a creak coming from the hinges. She noticed one of the doors slightly open, talking coming from it and a voice she wasnt sure of. "I made a Philosopher's Stone" She covered her mouth, trying to prevent a gasp as she hid pressed against the wall.

Felix licked his lips, grinning slightly. "I've ingested it," he told his friend in a hushed tone. "I regenerate when I die now, I'm pretty sure I don't age either... I'm immortal!" He was careful to keep his voice down... though clearly that wasn't enough... darn those thin walls. Having said this, though, he hesitated again, then added, "There's... a couple of catches, though. Things I didn't anticipate..."

"Why do those damn Blecks have to ruin everything!" Jinx yelled out from her daydream.

Bryce leaned in to hear the whispers more clearly. "Such as?"

"Mhm, good question," Alcharius answered her quite seriously. "It's rare to run into any creatures so deliberately malevolent, after all."
---
"Well... for a start, something feels wrong," Felix answered, a little uncertainly. "I'm pretty sure the Stone's imperfect... I think... it might stop working eventually." He grimaced. "Unfortunately, I was interrupted by those lovely creatures before I could investigate that fault..."
