Despite the chill and how poorly she felt, Tohko was still going about her library duties, sneezing over her shoulder occasionally and almost tripping over small corners. While she never made a mistake in cleaning, today she was making a few, as she sometimes put a book in the wrong spot. After she did this for the third time, she sighed.

"I really need to visit the clinic after this.."

Tohko, having found that the drones weren't much help in giving her medical advice, was looking over some of the pills, trying to decide which ones were the best to take. Tylenol? Advil? Or some of the other, weird and unusual bottles? Normally, she would have just stuck with the cold medicine on the shelf, but she was feeling so out of it that she was starting to consider other options.

Tohko picked up some of the bottles that fell onto the floor and offered them back to the man.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to suprised you..but what are the normal means for you? Magic?"

Veigar accepted the bottles and shook his head, "No, I don't do healing magic but that would be incredibly useful right now. I use potions and elixirs of healing and medicines as such. But they seem to either be tampering with those or with the sickness itself or with this blasted tower!"

He wouldn't put it past them to tamper with every single thing instead of just one.

Tohko sighed. "I don't think the Administrators can mess with the Tower, but they are probably messing with your potions. How do you make those here anyway?"

Tohko, loving magical things, was quite curious about this.

"I do it in my laboratory and yesss... that might explain their lessened functionality." He was definitely no Singed either, he would have loved to have the master chemist here, he'd whip up something to take this blasted cold away.

Veigar sighed and placed the bottles down.

"If they're messing with them, there's no point in continuing to waste materials. They'd be best to leave here." And others could find use for them but that wasn't Veigar's style, helping others was for the weak!

"But how do you do it in your laboratory? If you don't mind, could you show me?" Tohko loved magic, spells, and magic potions. Those things didn't exist in her world, but stories about them did, and she quite liked them.

"However, even if they're messing with your potions, the medicine here might work. After all, if they're letting it stay here, they probably don't consider it a threat."

Veigar looked thoughtful for a few moments and looked away with a huff, "Maybe... maybe some other time. When I'm not dribbling snot from my nose and have a castle sized throbbing headache."

He looked back at her curiously, "It begs to question though... What is it that interests you about potion making?" Aside that she had heard her sneeze earlier, but there was medicine here she could use.

"Hm, you might be right... But I've used the ones labeled for the things I have and no go... Maybe it just takes time." And it was clear that he wasn't one to like waiting.

Tohko nodded. "Right..I understand. Maybe when we're both feeling better you can show me."

She then sneezed over her shoulder before replying to his question. "Well, you see, potions, magic, and sorcery don't exist in my world. However, we have lots of stories about them, and I always likes those stories. I always wanted to learn how to make a magic potion or perform a spell. That's why I'm curious."

Tohko then nodded again. "Normal medicine like this does take some time to work. You'll have to wait a little while. No one likes it, but that's how it goes with this kind of medicine."

"Ah curious about mystical studies I see." Veigar smiled. Sure his decision to learn everything he could was driven by madness and the masters of dark magics he trained under, and then afterwards killed would have never guessed he'd become the most dangerous spellcaster in Valoran. But he could appreciate the curiosity about magic and such arts.

"Maybe if you seem interested enough I could teach you a thing or two."

He then looked around and sighed. Using his acceleration magic wouldn't work on normal medicine so he'd just have to wait like the girl said.

And the smile on Tohko's face just grew after she heard that. Sure, she had tried to work magic with Waver before..but an entirely new magical system..this was going to be amazing!

"Really?! If you could, that would awesome! I'd really be happy if you taught me about potions, magic, and whatever else you know!"

She then sneezed over her shoulder. Really..this cold was terrible.

"Excellent." he replied with a wicked grin.

"Once this whole sick deal gets done and over with just send out for me. A message or anything will do. We can start then."

And on cue he sneezed as well. Gods he hated getting sick, it was dreadful!

"Ah, I will! I promise, I will! Hopefully we'll both get better soon so that we can start soon."

Tohko happily replied before reaching into a nearby cabinet and pulling out a box of tissues. She pulled out two for herself before handing the box to him.

"Here you are. The medicine may take awhile to kick in, but the tissues should help."

"I like your enthusiasm, yesss." he said a bit delighted even if his nose was stuffy.

He took the box and nodded at her, "I suppose you're right. Guess there's no point in rampaging through the tower. I'll be taking my leave to my room and rest. I suggest you do the same after taking the medications."

Tohko chuckled and scratched her head. "Ah..thank you."

She then nodded. "Alright then. Hopefully you'll feel better after you get some rest. And I will! Don't worry, I'll be alright."

Veigar nodded, turned and waddled his way out of the area hoping that the medicine would take away this stupid flu.

He sneezed once more on the way out, grumbling some incoherent things.
