[He can help the way the corner of his mouth curls, chuckling lowly. "For whatever reason" was a little flippant; yes, shadows and mist did suit him quite well. Almost eerily so, like traces of his dark magic followed him here.]

Yes, I suppose it does.

[The rest... requires a little deciphering. "Pin-up kinda stripping thing" isn't exactly a phrase native to Fódlan, but between "stripping" and the rest of it, it's not difficult to wind up on the same page, at least.]

[Hubert hums a dull note at her addendum. "Not too gross" was a little subjective, but a silhouette solved a lot of that.]


A shadow-figure, then. It's certainly within the realm of possibility. [Hubert removes a small pad and pen from his coat, jotting something down.]

I've been meaning to ask how long you wanted these "displays" to last. Depending on duration, you may need to invest in magic batteries; the downside to conjuration is that is can be quite costly if you want it to endure. One certainly won't be an issue, but I don't have the magic required to fuel an entire storefront's worth for a night in one casting.
bloodypath: (How will I see to this...)

[If he noticed the wink, Hubert gives no indication whatsoever.]

[But, Goddess, that case is something. Aside from the pay, the idea of the raw sacrilege this venture was brought some comfort.]


Two performing thrice over the course of a night. That is manageable. You'll be responsible for devising the routine, of course; and being conjurations rather than illusion, they will be sentient to a degree. I should be able to grant you control over them, you being a Witch yourself.

[His eyes flick over the case, then dryly back to Nico.]

As for these... yes, I can animate them, though they have a decidedly limited... range of motion compared to the scarecrow.

[His voice is just as dry. Then he sighs, clasping his hands behind his back.] I assume the shop will want aphrodisiacs, as well?
bloodypath: (Is that all?)

[The things he endures to fund his projects.]

[The corner of his mouth tips upward.]


Naturally. This is an exchange of business between professionals; nothing more, nothing less. The costs of time is the same, plus material cost.

It should not be substantial; I have prior experience in brewing them. Alchemists were in high demand prior to Litha.
bloodypath: (Respectfully I decline.)

[A permanent arrangement? Not what he was expecting, but income was income. Maintenance for the pitcher plants was becoming quite expensive.]

I imagine a store like this would far very well during Litha is what I shall say. Very well.

[Hubert extends a gloved hand to return the gesture.]

Eight. I will make an effort to have the first half ready a week prior, or sooner, as this land is prone to... unforeseen events. [Like Morgana's return, which delayed this meeting in the first place.] And the last half the day before at minimum. Is that agreeable, Nicoletta?

[Hubert accepts the paper, and while handling it seemingly casually, his gloved fingers hold it by the margins as if cautious of the ink anyways.]

[Stepping back, his other hand folds across his chest and he bows primly.]


Of course. I'll leave a message so that you have my contact, as well, should anything arise. I hope this venture will be mutually beneficial to us both.
