“What do you know about Spirits of Salt?”
“They say Spirits of Salts is somewhat of a general purpose agent. At its core it's a potent acid, but when used correctly it could dissolve otherwise unusable ingredients and intertwine it with your mixture. A See-through liquid with a tint of blue.”
“What is chickweed?”
“Chickweed is food. It's put on a dish as the finishing touch. If you want to know more about it, you should consult Noel. I'm sure he has it in stock. A small white flower, with yellow in its center.”
“That would be all. Thank you for your time.” Still scribbling, I try to envision the ingredients. My companion finishes the conversation with some idle chatter, but I am already busy calculating our next move. Astral Oil and Spirits of Salt should not be too hard to identify. These ingredients are rare after all. As for chickweed, if it is used by cooks, it's hardly a indicator of the crime.
