Subject: Ranma's trying to cure his cat phobia
Warnings: Possible discussion of trauma, otherwise N/A
[After some recent... events that's transpired in the past couple months, events that left people he likes critically injured, it put a lot of things in perspective. Soul searching and all that junk. It... wasn't a new thought that popped up for the first time in this world, he's sat on it from time to time back home. But there, it didn't seem like there was constant events that'd set him off bad enough to maim his friends. Yet these past few months, he's kept falling into the Neko-ken state more and more, kept having his ailurophobia pushed to the tipping point. The cat island, the ghost cats, and now the black ooze of despair.
"Prevention is an important aspect, but I fear it may not be enough on its own.". Sherlock's words have been haunting his mind more recently from their talk of contingency plans. It staked his pride like a dagger to the heart. Control was something he should have, and he thought he had it all in check. For all his discipline, he can't get over being a scaredy-cat without losing his sanity.
He doesn't like considering this a viable option. Pop went out of his way to make sure he's adverse to showing weakness. This was something he should do though, before he goes above just clawing up people like fleshy scratch posts.]
Heya, I need some advice. For a friend. [... Look, you've gotta take baby steps sometimes when you're learning to walk.]
How do you get over a fear you've had since you were a kid?
[Vague, nondescript baby steps.]

And even if Azul isn't some snake oil salesman, magic and him don't really mix well together to begin with.]
Name your price.
[He doesn't think he has anything on hand the bespectacled guy'd take, material wise.]

But, for now, he simply offers (insert price here) asking for payment in the form of doubloons--a little pricey, but not break the bank worthy. It's enough to pay for the ingredients needed to prepare the potion, plus extra for Azul's efforts in doing so.]
Would this be considered good enough for you?
I've finally escaped the clutches of writer's block, sorry for the delay ;^;
But there's something you need to know: Ranma's a haggler. If he can spend as little money as in his bank, he'll take it.]
If you give me a list of the ingredients you need, and I can fetch them for you, will that bump down the price?
no worries! it happens to the best of us
If you are able to acquire the ingredients and bring them to me, then yes, I will consider bringing the price down a little more since this will certainly be very helpful in making sure I can prepare what you need in a timely manner.
no subject
Deal. Tell me what you need, and I'll meet ya with the stuff and the money.
no subject
If you have any difficulties in acquiring something on this list, please let me know.
