My speacial toner keeps skin moist for ten hours after application---much longer than any commercially available product.
And you say you can get me a BETTER toner by the week before orientation?
Naturally. You need to only sign this contract, and your desire to attend orientation with preternaturally beautiful skin shall be realized. I can grant any with, no matter how far-fetched. Isn’t that what the rumors say, and why you came here to me?
And so the contract is sealed! I look forward to receiving those flowers. Ha ha! A mutually beneficial arrangement, if I do say so myself. Jade, Floyd. Please guide Vil out.
He is an expert in Potionology. I imagine he has already experimented with every herb out there. We’ll have to create this toner with ingredients only available to us.
You make a good point. Retaining the element of surprise is important. Shock tends to beget satisfaction. Then let us gather materials that are high in moisture but not normally used in beauty products.
Ah, yes---a cool gel that gently permeates the skin to heal damage wrought by the summertime sun. Perfectly moist and yet not sticky. It moisturizes the skin magnificently, bringing out the full breadth of its latent beauty. Truly, I’ve outdone myself this time.
Indeed. Never have I encountered a more effective beauty product. The rumors about you granting any wish in exchange for suitable recompense were all true, I see.
Oho, so it is the Roi de Fort who holds the secret to Vil’s beauté? Then please allow me to express my gratitude! You’ve made it possible for Vil to attain even higher heights. You are a wish-granter par excellence. Quite Impressive, eh, Vil?
I knew because your skin is quite glossy if one strains to look. and not just you, but also those twins who are always with you. Now, perhaps I could convince you to tell me the secret behind this toner of yours.
That is a good question. How DID you manage to create something that Vil could not? Did you find some new kind of medicinal herb? Or did you make use of your alchemy talents?
I apologize, but this is my first orientation as housewarden, so there is a lot I must attend to, as embarrassing as it is. We can continue this discussion at a later time.
Not at all. Floyd has finally regained his ability to walk, so I thought I should notify you. He can safely be exposed to air. Just in time for orientation, thank goodness.
