Elthas observed Yark and the newly acquired apprentice very carefully. When Yark mentioned Llukrath, Elthas nodded. He turned towards Yark and thanked him for his attention to the situation at hand. Then, Elthas proceeded to walk with Nevin as the boy proceeded back in the smith shop. "Yark is referring to Llukrath, he's a friend of my family." Elthas said casually. "Let me make the introduction for you, Nevin and then we can proceed from there." Elthas generally liked being a social fellow.

He knew most folks liked to keep to themselves, but Elthas was very much a social butterfly. He walked towards Llukrath and addressed him. "Llukrath." Elthas bowed his head carefully. Then he explained the situation to Llukrath once more. First to Yark, then to Llukrath himself.

Llukrath looked at Nevin with an understanding expression. "Alchemy shop, huh?" Llukrath considered what he'd just learned. "Elthas take him to speak to the Clinic in town, they could use more apothecaries. Also...there are a few plots in town for a new work shop. If you can get the permit..."

"I'll pay for it." Elthas suddenly said. In his adventures he'd amassed a considerable fortune on his own. "It's to help him out and I consider Nevin a friend." Elthas turned towards Nevin. "Show him your introductory letter. And then work the scheduling out as Yark explained it to you. When you're ready we'll seek out the apothecary within the clinic. There is someone you need to speak to there before you start." Elthas hoped that Nevin understood the gravity of the situation at hand. Elthas had offered to vouch for Nevin. Further, he'd offer to pay, out of pocket, for Nevin's shop. "Plus, I know Stonevale can benefit from a dedicated Alchemist." Elthas considered the situation, if he ran the shop with medicines and other potions...Nevin would make a killing on the open market. It would be a valid business deal.

Elthas rubbed his chin as he waited for Nevin to take care of things with Llukrath...
