“I assume by your interruption that you wish to be numbered among those I am considering for apprenticeship.
A worthy aspiration...
Should I someday choose to accept your petition, I must be confident that you can find your way around my laboratory. I have many ingredients here; some plentiful, and others in short supply.
Take your time, hero. Find a muddy mire maggot, a withered batwing, an amberseed, and some chilled serpent mucus.
Succeed, and I'll know to take your request seriously.”
