Time passes... Until the proper time to unleash the PRECISION AIMED REMARK TO EXIT NEEDLESS TOPICS ESCAPE! (The PARENT Escape!).

After some very minor pause about twenty second in, "Excellent, though I really should get going. Would not want to keep him waiting." If she keeps talking, she interrupts Heather and the conversation ends with her rudeness. If she won't let Heather leave, she's also being rude! Flawless.

Then to walk to Bolinor's and knock.

In response, there are several noises inside, including shouts in several different voices and dull thuds, presumably caused by falling objects.

The door opens. "Hello? Can I help you?" asks Flora. This seems to be an automatic response, and it is shortly followed by, "Also, do you not know to wait. Because if so, your educators are very bad at their job and I would like to talk to them."

She looks quite normal by Heather's standards of normal and doesn't seem to find Heather abnormal either.

"No, I do not, because I just got sent here from a different dimension. Two closest people pointed me here," she shrugs, "you can go deal with whatever just happened, I am patient."

At least Heather still has a bit of coffee left.

"Oh, sorry. Right."

She walks further into the house and holds the door open for Heather. "You can come in and sit on that chair over there. I was actually sent to see who it was, some of my co-prentices are handling the messed up elixir- Do you know elixirs?"

Head shake. "Nothing except to not distract someone making one. Sorry if I managed to."

She walks in and sits where told to.

Flora paces. "That was mostly bad luck and some kind of malfunction. We have wards - house protection with notifications - when they're tripped, uh, activated, we can feel it. They shouldn't've gone off unless you tried to get inside. I'm going to have to take a look at them later today. Anyway. Elixirs are...uh, basically homemade herbal tea that does magic if you brew it exactly right. Do you want more detail?"

"More detail can wait, I suppose. I did not try to get inside, only knocked." Heather drinks the last of the coffee. "It does seem like not much works sensibly though, perhaps it thought I was trying to knock the door down."

She sighs. "Sorry. I will stop. As long as I sit here, I will not be in danger, right?"

"Yes, that does seem like a magical reinterpretation of the concept of knocking. Why would you be in danger, though? Do you think- Nope, stop, other world, okay. Magic really really, uh, prefers to be safe - you are mostly only at risk if you're making something, in particular either untested -- interruptions qualify as this -- or malicious in intended effect."

Nod. "Makes sense, even if some of the..." shoe-hands. "Methods are a little unsettling."

Heather perks up a little. "Well, I am Heather, nice to meet you. Are you the Dr Bolinor I was sent to look for?"

"Oh, no. I'm just an apprentice. Flora, nice to meet you too. He'll come here shortly, after he's made sure everything's fine in the elixir lab." Is there anything I should do? Heather is a guest, guests... Aha. She finished her drink. I am not sure if she wants a refill but I can ask. "Would you like a drink?"
