He finally happened upon a man seemingly searching through the shelves off to one side.

May I help you with anything?” he offered, figuring to be polite and be proactive since it wasn’t like there was anyone else in shop to help. It was a quiet moment in the course of the day which suited Gideon just fine. Busy seasons were soon enough.
The jar of leeches sloshed under his arm as he turned. Help? Did he want help? Mmm..it would make this go quicker. The quicker he was out of here, the quicker he could get a drink at Moribund’s. Maybe he could send this guy to find a few of the items on his list – you know, the ones he had no idea what they were or looked like. ”Sure,” he said. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his list of ingredients. He gave it a quick once over. ”I need…a pound of horned slugs, 3 pounds of fluxweed and boomslang skin.” He made a hmmm-ing noise and then made a face. ”Oh blargghhh… and about 10 ounces of rat spleen.” That was gross. Yep – no way he was going to go near that. What was wrong with potion people? Why would anyone want rat spleen? He tucked the paper away, sure he could gather up the rest of the ingredients on his own. In fact…behind the shopkeep’s head was another ingredient he needed; long braided strand of knot grass.
