"Inn near the Ixian castle, Faun and the Fox. Alright." Nevin memorized the information with a sharp nod - decidedly trying to ignore the child waving a sword around in the street. Thankfully she didn't seem likely to hurt herself, but at the same time he couldn't help but keep one eye on her as she played around. "And yes. A soporific or sedative is easily enough managed. I'll make a couple that can last varying lengths of time and note which ones they are in the delivery." Already in his mind he was turning over what ingredients would be necessary for this kind of potion. He could think of a few sedative herbs and mixtures, the trick would be making some that could survive the journey.
Or, he could 'cheat' and dose the potions with a bit of blood, allowing him to imbue them with magic. That might work better for this - it would ensure the efficacy of the products... no. That would be foolish. Vaeron and his employer might have another alchemist already in their employ, or in their acquaintance, and have the person check the potions to make sure they were working as intended. And while most wouldn't recognize the blood or the magic, he didn't care to run the risk of revealing himself to who knows how many people. No, standard potions it was.
That decided, he pushed a small bottle of the syrup on the counter over to Vaeron. "A gift, to a future partnership. It's a mild sedative, in a honey syrup - it should be sweet enough for young Celandine there to enjoy it, but the sedative will counter the sugar rush I'm sure she's going to be experiencing. With her small frame it shouldn't take long to take effect. Use it, or not, but it is yours either way." He smiled politely and bowed his head to Vaeron. This would be... an interesting endeavour, to be sure. He relished the challenge, truth be told.
