"I have been looking forward to meeting with you, Innkeeper," said the insect Dao Lord. Lex thought it slightly unusual that even insects fit into the broad categorisation of Beasts sometimes, but that was hardly relevant. "I had not anticipated, however, the extent to which our eventual meeting would surprise me. Please, accept this Synaptic Slime - the most premium grade Dao fluid released during my wife's last shedding."
The Innkeeper showed not the slightest deviation in his expression as he accepted the Dao material, though he knew that this would be the first material he would use up. He'd either use it for the Butter Knife, or to start construction on the Sanctuary of Dao.
