Lira carefully began placing vial after vial from her bag onto the master's table. Each one glimmered with subtle magic—some restored energy, others calmed restless minds, and a few carried charms to enhance focus or protection. Renkai stood quietly at her side, keeping watch, though his sharp eyes kept drifting to the master, trying to read his reactions.
The rat master's monocle widened slightly as he leaned closer to inspect the assortment. "A remarkable collection," he murmured, whiskers twitching in surprise. "And… this bag of yours…" He tilted his head, peering at the seemingly ordinary satchel. "It holds all of these? Curious. That is no ordinary bag."
Lira smiled faintly. "It's… a space bag," she said casually. "Very useful, but not for sale."
The master's eyes gleamed with interest, a rare expression of delight crossing his small face. "I see… fascinating. Such ingenuity is… unusual. Very well. Then we shall focus on the contents themselves."
