Rouchefort and the alchemist usually don't get along. Their ideas never aligned with one another. But now, Rouchefort was so calm and collected when he was talking to her he felt like a completely different person.
"What can I say?" Rouchefort relaxed himself. "I guess my mistakes have finally started catching up with me."
"Would you like to talk about it? Not that I intend to comfort you or anything. You know perfectly well that's not my forte." The alchemist pulled a page from the book she was holding. It had a magic circle drawn on it.
Rouchefort picked up the container with the scroll and handed it over to her.
"Are you not up for the offer?" The alchemist asked him taking the container and pulling out the scroll. Unlike Rouchefort, the scroll looked like a simple enough report.
"I suppose it is not a bad idea to let you know my origins. I know yours after all." Rouchefort responded getting up from his seat.
