"Speaking of inks" She says and happily shows what they've done in Chimerical and treasured inks. THIS is something August can use for himself in his own work. There's glowing ink, vanishing ink, ink that embosses itself in a surface, Ink that smells of roses, Ink that smells of lemon, ink that smells of fresh cut grass, "We're having trouble with blueberries" She admits. There's even Ink that changes languages randomly "More of a gag gift."

"Oh... I can think of some applications."

"I'd be happy to give you a bottle or two if you like" She assures.

"The alchemy involved used to scare me, I was better with the machinery part, but I've grown to enjoy the challenge. As ever it's a chance to learn" Showing off the work done here seems to take her mind off how she was used as a pawn for a balor.

August uses that "Tell me more." he gently encourages.

"Well, if you're looking for something we're Researching and Developing... there's this little number" She moves along to a chemistry looking set up "We're trying to make talking ink, it narrates as your eyes go over it."

"That could be useful for people with vision impairment." August observes.

"Just so, but alas, it doesn't quite work... it stutters, back tracks, and garbles. And we won't get into the nocker cursing it sometimes inserts" The sidhe sighs "I love my Nocker House brrothers a lot, but they are... perhaps overly infusive"

"If you were to re-work it... might that cure it?"

"Mmm you mean go back to formula, or distill?"

"I was thinking more in line of, ah, adjusting the nocker-craft to resolve some of the issues you mentioned."

"Nockers have this weird story about something called the basilsk stone and trying to curb their cursing" she answers "They get offended when I suggest it. But the stuttering and back tracks? maybe"

"Well, not -their cursing, but the machine's?"

"I'll try that approach" She says "They can be.. headstrong"
