Hmmm... [Asra cocks his head, listening to the list of ingredients and taking note of similarities he's noticed. The list seems a little overly complex for his tastes, but it seems that it's like other stores; the pricier ones tend to have less complicated and higher potency ingredients while cheaper places seem to have more longer lists. He's not really intending on buying anyway, just absently drags his finger around the stopper of the bottle while focusing on the younger man working here.]

Oh? You don't think it would actually improve my luck? Why wouldn't I just make a warding charm if that was all this did?

[tryhard]

[ The question catches Waver off guard, and he seems to realize belatedly that this is a terrible way to sell potions.

Listen. He was hired as an alchemist, not a sales clerk. Who left him alone out by the counter?? ]

Er... Well. Maybe you should try it and find out.

[ nailed it. ]

In any case, this is an easier and faster catch-all for that sort of thing than a warding charm would be, without needing the sort of specificity you'd usually be looking at. And it works for non-magic-users too.

Do you want to buy one or not?

[ please when will the customer service representative come back from lunch... ]

[halfheartedmagician]

Hmm, why don't you?

[He pushes the bottle back and grins, amused by how out of his depth the younger man seems to be.]

You should try your own stocks, shouldn't you? Then you could sell them better. It sounds like you're not entirely familiar with what it does.

Or are you better with other kinds of potions and charms? What here have you made?

[tryhard]

I'm familiar enough.

[ The truth is, he's not used to the way magic works differently here quite yet, the way it's actually more akin to the real magic of old rather than the magecraft Waver practiced back home. True luck potions are nonsense, the sort of manipulation of reality that would be considered miraculous and therefore out of the scope of modern magecraft. Here, though? Things aren't as cut and dry as that.

Waver scowls, snatching the bottle back up and placing it onto the shelf where it came from with an air of finality. ]

I'm not the sales clerk. I'm an alchemist.

[ It's not his job to sell them better, okay? This guy's attitude is starting to annoy him... ]

I've made plenty. Sleep potions, poultices and healing draughts, potions to boost strength, speed or vitality...

[ He shrugs, listing off a few more and pointing at a couple of rows on the shelves that house them. If Asra knows how the potions here are made, he might notice that the ones Waver points out are all the kind that don't need actual spellwork or charming, just the proper mix of alchemic ingredients. ]
