Sometimes the world burns and it's something to be remedied; it's something to be fixed, to be patched up and smoothed over, and you go back to forgetting that it was ever burning to begin with.

And sometimes the world burns, and that's just the state of things. If it's not your new normal, it becomes your generalized normal rather quickly. It's not the end of things, it's just places you no longer go and precautions you become accustomed to taking. Adapt. Overcome. Evolve.

Things are settling again, for now. We'll see if it stays that way or if the scales continue to tip. But while I don't take pleasure in all that's been happening lately, I can't say I haven't missed being part of a world setting itself on fire, either.

Neither have I. And with things being such as they are I would be remiss not to extend you an invitation.

[manufactured]

Yes, of course. I can't say that I would be opposed.

[liberaltus]

I do enjoy a ready mind so any time your hands are just as ready and you've an inclination this is where you can find me.

Oh and if you wouldn't mind alerting me of your presence before making contact with the door, I may have to dispel a few barriers. It would be tragic if you were burned, frozen, or shocked before you get an opportunity to test out a tonic.

...I'll be sure to let you know, then.

Is there anything else I should be aware of?

[liberaltus]

Not outside, no...but don't worry I'll protect you.

[Not that he thinks you're particularly worried.]

[manufactured]

I've defended myself against a fair amount, but I'm flattered at the offer anyway.

[liberaltus]

Excellent! You'll need that fortitude against some of the specimens we'll be using in making potions and tonics.

[manufactured]

Well, now I'm intrigued.

I'll be sure to let you know.

[liberaltus]

It's primarily plants, but who knew they could give you so much trouble?

And I'll be waiting.
