The eager curiosity was something that Rhamnus had been expecting, and he gave Ulliendis a smirk as he took his newly acquired ingredients off to the side so that he could start measuring them out for the next experiment. The questions from the young man were a bit less expected though and they made they Healer pause for a moment as he considered. "Scent and taste are very closely tied. If it doesn't pass a scent test then I know it will fail taste... and nutmeg?"
Rham tilted his head, wondering how the Harper knew about the muffin ingredients. Was it that common of a blend or did he know something? "I may try nutmeg as well for further testing... for now starting simply is better. And I wasn't planning on tasting the muffins. Sometimes people can develop tolerances for toxins, but they can also end up with sensitivities so I would rather not risk it if I don't have to. It's really more of a device used in stories than anything practical."
He certainly wasn't going to mention that he had built up quite a tolerance for most of the things he worked with. That sort of talk encouraged stupid and risky behavior. Rhamnus gestured over to his equipment. "Well you seem curious enough, let me walk you through one of the most basic poisons out there. I'm sure you could probably find this information out on your own, but we'll also be discussing safety and how to treat a victim. Now then, be sure to take notes if you need them, I'm not fond of repetition." With a crack of his knuckles, Rhamnus started to go into proper procedures, walking Ulliendis through how to properly handle the dangerous concoctions safely and how to measure them precisely and properly.
