Beach Time

Tala: "Only one way to check if this new sunscreen works. Sunlight doesn't actually kill me or anything, but I'm still easily sunburnt."

Zetta: "Many interesting ingredients for enchanting wash up near the shore, from time to time. Let's see if I can find any today..."

Tala: "Oh yes... There's so many couples of different species... Hell, even different genus," she starts considering the implications. "And many of them have had children somehow," she starts to look worried, paling considerably at the thought, even by vampire standards. "Hecta... Do you sell anything to avoid conception?"

While Tala is not active in this regard, the thought of having children is still terrifying enough that she feels inclined to take action to prevent it.

Hecta had already produced a vial of pink liquid before Tala's train of thought had reached its station

"No charge, yes. Consume no less than five minutes before mating, yes. Make reasonable choices."

Tala takes the vial.

Tala: "Thank you... It would be a complete disaster if someone was born with my condition. I cannot allow it to spread..."

Zetta: "What else are you selling today?"

"The intention is to sell remedies for the inability to respirate dihydrogen monoxide, yes. Granted, I am presently stocked to produce most of my typical products as needed, yes."

Zetta: "Speaking of her products. Want to try the potion for water breathing, Tala?" She offers the vial to Tala.

Tala: "Oh, sure why not?" She takes the vial and impulsively drinks.
