Wisp simply nodded it made sense that he was a guard. There was still something nagging at her but she tossed it aside, figuring he was telling her the truth. She thought for a moment. "Well you might just be a bit dehydrated." She said thoughtfully. She turned and snatched a small cup from the shelves that lined the room. She walked to the front and turned on a small water valve. A trickle of water poured into the cup and once full, Wisp quickly shut it off. She walked back to Cedric and sprinkled a few mint leaves on the top along with a bit of Heldra fruit juice. Passing the cup to Cedric and smile lightly. "Drink it and your nausea should leave in a few minutes. If not, you can always come back"

"Thank you Wisp." he replied taking the cup and drinking it swiftly. He leaned back on the cot and looked around, "What are you working on?" He asked with a hint of amusement, he enjoyed meeting new people, and this person didn't know who he was,

Wisp nodded in reply to his thanks and then moved about to organize the jars on the shelves in a neat manner. She glanced over her shoulder at him, "At the moment? Cleaning this place up. I'm afraid I made a bit of a mess earlier." Wisp admitted, going back to her organizing. "But when I get done, I'll continue my research on Fire Pear juice." Wisp said, her voice brightening at the simple mention of getting back to her research.

"I have never heard fire pears before. What makes that particular fruit, so interesting?" He asked. She had obviously peaked his interest. She had his full attention now.

Wisp, her back still to him, couldn't stop the wide grin that danced across her features. She never missed an opportunity to talk about her interests. The Fire Pear expecially. Wisp set the last jar on th shelf and then turned, making her way back to Cedric. "Well" She started, seatign herself on a cot infront of him. She folded her legs up Indian style and then continiued. "It's name obviously catches most peoples attention. It's a fairly common fruit, but it's hardly used. If the fruit itself is consumed raw it......well it burns the insides of the consumer." Wisp said grimly, but she quickly cheered up. "Unless you prepare it properly. The Fire Pear juice itself, however doesn't do that. So I am convinced it must have some kind of medical properties. For instance the last time it was used for medication, the patient lost feeling in his toes and felt slight dizziness. So it could be a numbing agent to use in surgeries." Wisp finished with a smile. "We haven't proven that theory yet, but it's all we have so far."

"Interesting. I am curious as to what is in the fruit but not the juice that makes it burn someone from the inside out" Cedric replied thoughtfully. "Any other side effects?" Cedric was now interested in her research.

Wisp chewed on her bottom lip for a moment in thought. Cedric did raise a good question. What was it in the fruit that made it burn? It wasn't the juice so it must be part of the skin or maybe the flesh of the fruit itself. Wisp pulled out her notebook and quickly scribbled down. Fruit burns, juice doesn't. Why? She then put the notebook away to answer Cedric. "There aren't any other side effects that we know of. Of course dizziness might be a worldly side effect or just one that is unique to the person. Different people react different to certain herbs and medicines." She explained thoughtfully with a small smile.

"I will try the juice to see if I experience dizziness as well." Cedric replied eagerly. He wasn't too concerned about side effects;in fact, he really did not care about whether he came I to harms way. He gave her a big smile at the experiment.

Alice could tell he was feeling urgent about getting an answer. And that was all he seemed to care about. He didn't seem to want to give her a chance to prove her worth. That she could make something better of herself if they helped her leave that environment, but all anyone cared about now was their pay checks. Alice was getting a bit angry now, she knew it was not entirely his fault that she was being put on death row but she did not feel safe giving them any information. If she left these castle walls, she was as good as dead. Maybe if she gave them information she could stay alive long enough to escape and hide in the castle itself. Risky yes, but stealth is something she excelled at and now she can honestly her skills. "What did you want to know?" She asked, but she knew she can't give a lot away yet.

I'm wondering if Cedric should have an allergic reaction to the fruit. I think that could have some fun potential,)

(YES! And then Wisp finds out she almost killed the Prince OoO!!)
Wisp frowned a bit. "But...." She trailed off, "I don't mean to be rude, but you've no medical experience. If I did something wrong you could be hurt..." She said softly, looking down at her hands.
Archer was surprised by her sudden answer. He was a bit relieved. He would accept any kind of information really, he didn't care. "Well....." He said lightly, "Anything your willing to share." He said, almost shrugging. The information was important, but he felt if he pushed her or set a limit on what he wanted, she would back up again. And refuse to answer. "But if you want somewhere to start, I'd really like to know why the herbalists? Why not the king?" He asked curiously.

"I do believe i volunteered. Any harm that comes to me is my decision, and not your fault" Cedric replied to her. Let me try the juice and we will see the results." He genuinely wanted to help her research.

Wisp twisted her hair around her finger, "Are you sure?" She asked quietly, taking a deep breath. She wouldn't be able to live with herself if she hurt him.

Cedric saw the concern on her face and responded gently. "Do not worry about me if I respond poorly I fully trust in your abilities as an herbalist." he gave her a brave smile.

Wisp sighed and grabbed the small vile. "Well I'd have to....uh...give you a small cut. If that's okay?" She asked tenitively.

"It is perfectly fine Wisp." Cedric replied with a comforting tone. "I will be ok."

Wisp shuffled around the shelves and finally found a small, pocket sized dagger. She glanced at Cedric and sat hesitantly beside him, gesturing for his arm.

He gave her his arm and gave her a consoling nod. "Let us learn more about this fruit."

Wisp nodded, but avioded his gaze. She was uneasy about this whole thing. But he was so eager, and she did want to find out what the fruit did. Taking a deep breath, Wisp set the blade on his arm and sliced downward. She winced as she saw the cut and the trickle of blood coming from it. She grabbed the vile of juice. "Ready?" She asked softly, looking up at him.

He winced in pain at the daggers cut. Then gave her a final nod. "Let us do this." he braced himself.

Alice would have liked to look at him in the eyes to show that she meant every word that was spoken by her today. However, under the circumstances, she could not. He would have to take what he wanted to believe. She sighed before replying. If this conversation was happening outside the castle, Alice would have killed herself rather than letting anyone else do it, "They said kill someone that looks like they would be of use. The herbalists happened to be the first ones I saw." She told him simply. Alice did not add on the part that they had other plans for the king.

If you want you could have Alice's target be Cedric. Just dont kill him.))

Her original target was Archers sister. That was her final test before she would graduate their version of 'basic training')

Wisp is about to poison Cedric accidentally, and she doesn't know he is the prince. She thinks he is a guard. You could have fun with that.))
