Erik grinned at the potion his mates had stolen whilst he was providing a distraction as usual and was prepared to give one to a random person and keep one for himself. He had been trying to sell it for only a little while so far, miguel and tulio back at the hideout to rest for right now after a long day of hard work. If erik could just sell this last potion they would be in good standing for a nice breakfast in the morning. He looked around watching passerby's trying to talk a few into buying it however he had no luck so far. He sighed wondering why this was so difficult. Honestly how annoying. He let his gaze roam the streets at the thinning crowd of people walking past. There had to be someone with a bit of interest somewhere right? so what the hells was taking so long?
After a few moments he took a breath and put on a smile "Potions for sale! One left ladies and gentleman get it while it lasts! Come one come all!" he called out as he walked towards the center of the pathway to have a better chance to sell it

The vampire was in Sol City to see if he could find any curiosities. The city's central location made it a bustling centre of commerce and just about anything could be bought for the right price if you knew where to look.
Coming out of a building with a sign that said 'The gamblers light', a gambling den that was known for dealing in black market items. Aledüne steps unto the streets, and as he moves he eventually hears the sale cry of the young thief. He knew these things were usually scams, and this wasn't the first time he had come across someone like this who were dealing in miracle potions.
Stopping in front of him where he was standing, he gives him a polite smile. He didn't see a reason why he couldn't get a little entertainment out of the situation. Maybe he would drink it, pretend it was poison to put a scare in the boy.
The man standing in front of Erik this moment was an elf with bright hair cascading like liquid sunlight, catching even the faintest glimmer of light. Each strand seems to possess a life of its own, lending him an almost ethereal radiance as he moves his slim frame. He possesses a subtle strength that is evident in his movement. His lithe physique exudes an air of grace and agility, and his tall stature gives him a commanding presence that demands attention. He has blue eyes that are vibrant, almost unnaturally so. They hold an intense, piercing quality, like twin sapphires that seem to see through the very soul of those who meet his gaze. His skin carries a cold pallor. This, with the rest of his appearance gives him a clear otherworldly quality, as well as enhancing the natural beauty he was born with.
His attire, A rough red robe of good quality designed for the road but is well maintained, and a long dark cloak with pauldrons at the sides. The fabric is black, but smooth as silk. Two jewels decorated with rubies are attacked to each side with a golden chain connecting the two sides of the cloak together to allow for ease of wear. The inside of the cloak seem to be red silk instead of black. The cloak is neck high and with a hood that hangs down the back.
"And what exactly is it that you are selling? Potions come in many forms, and so if you wish to attract buyers you will have to draw their attention with what exactly they will be buying." His smile remains polite, friendly and honest. his attire is clearly something that a nobleman would be wearing, but also making it clear that he isn't a local.

Erik examined the lithe yet strong physique of the man before him, his pale skin contrasting against his iridescent blue eyes. The man appeared to be of upper class yet was more muscled than most nobles or aristocracy he tended to meet. Then again his new “boss” was quite the surprise as well with her immense power and such. Erik himself was rather tall and a bit bulkier than the male before him. His clothes were dirty and a bit ragged along with his toddler hair. His skin was more tan from days of being in the sun and his own blue eyes were almost a light teal. The only offset feature was the scar atop his head running towards his eye and down his cheek looking almost like lightning branching off. He grinned up at the man, it was a kind and curious look he held. A part of him was tempted to see if the man had anything of value but first he wanted this damn potion off his hands.
“This right here is a potion of speed! Lets you move with extreme speed and agility! Don’t even have to worry about catching your breath with this baby!” He grinned and spun the bottle on his finger before holding it again. A little showmanship wasn’t bad when selling after all.

The elven man chuckles, clearly finding some enjoyment in the way Erik was speaking, giving Erik the impression this man had experience with snake-oil salesmen. Either way he seemed to have the money to waste and not terribly concerned with getting scammed.
"Ah, that is quite the effect. I hear magic of a similar nature is hard to come by, and even harder to master. And so it begs to question where such a young man managed to get their hands on something as rare as this?"
He smiles widely, politely. But his voice carries a challenging tone. "How about this. Out of curiosity how about we both take a drink, and if the potion does what you say it does, I give you double the price you ask for it. If it doesn't I will take something I want, agreed?"
Naturally Erik knows the whole thing to be a lie, so he would have no reason to agree to such a suggestion and instead look for some other fool that might say themselves willing to waste their money. But something doesn't seem to be quite right as his next words flow out. (1)
(1) - Virtuoso's who hold the Muse of Expression lay claim to a truly Charming Smile, so much so that it almost seems like they can cause compulsion in almost anyone when it comes to angling a conversation in their favour. Three times per topic you can put any one person you are speaking to under your charm, causing them to see you as a trusted friend. You can ask them to complete one favour, which they will attempt to do to the best of their ability. This favour can not force the enemy to harm themselves and the more in danger they become, the more likely it is for the ability to end. The person will remain charmed until they sustain damage or complete the favour.

Erik grinned and shrugged "You make it sound as if i'm a kid when we look close in age sir. I have connections who allow me to sell their wares for them for a cut of profit you see." he explained though his way of procuring the bottle and his connections were far from the truth. Then again though this patron didn't nee to know the nitty gritty and all that jazz.
"Sure sounds like a plan" he grinned. After all he thought the potion was a real one. The guy carrying it was a known wealthy man after all. "Out of curiosity what would you be wanting from this exchange? If it's a date fancy boy I dont think I'm your type" he teased with a grin. Even with all of that his head felt a bit hazy as he looked in the others eyes. He rather liked the company of this fellow an interested in learning more about him and what he wanted. It was intoxicating the way the other spoke, the rumble of his voice, the cadence in which he spoke and the sly smile and melodic chuckles the other would give as they spoke. He raised a brow waiting for the others reply

This man had courage to speak up against what he should likely perceive as a nobleman. And without helping it the vampire gives of a smile too wide for comfort, unnatural almost. People like Erik, people with courage, and what Aledüne liked to think of as a spark was something he always found entertaining. Either as food, entertainment or company. "I am an elf, how would you know how old I am?" He gives off a light hearted laughter, his smile becoming a pleasant one.
"I get the feeling that a night with me would be something quite different than what you would expect. Though I can promise you that you would enjoy every minute of it." His tone is teasing, but seem to be mostly in jest.
"What I would want is...." He thinks for a moment. "Something you can't live without but have an almost infinite supply off. I will leave the surprise be for later, and while its not quite like a night alone with me, I can promise you that its something you will never forget." To some such words might have sounded like a threat, but for some reason, this man didn't seem to be threatening him. His demeanour almost playful as he looked at him.
He holds his hand out, waiting for Erik to give him the flask when he is taken a sip himself. His eyes has locked with his, as if daring him to do it. "After you..."

Erik paused a moment at that realizing there was a difference in aging "touche I suppose" he chuckled a bit at that. He then paused hearing the second part and raised a brow with a grin "Oh? sounds interesting~ I'm intrigued" he remarked "A man of promise as well hm?" he questioned wondering what kind of man this was in front of him. Not the usual stuck up nobles he was used to meeting.
"Hm a little ominous but sounds interesting enough" he remarked taking it lightly.Normally he would be on guard but with this man it felt..different. He didnt feel threatened like he usually did in these situations. Erik then paused and looked at the potion before nodding with a shrug and drinking some of it before looking at the other "Your turn fancy boy" he remarked taking a step back to give the other some room for drinking and so on. This was supposed to be simple and straight forward after all and for all he knew the potion was correct and would work just fine, stolen from a reputable source. He felt the potion beginning to take effect after a few moments and relaxed as he waited for it to work

Seeing the man drink up, Aledüne nods and follows along. Downing the rest of the bottle, he places the empty glass down on the side of the street as he waits for the effect to take place. The two stand there silent for a few moments with nothing noticeable happing, and when Aledüne opens his mouth to speak it happens. To Erik a little bit sooner than Aledüne, but quickly the two shrink in size.
Luckily Aledüne had been in the situation before. Well, not quite like this, but not too far off. He reaches out and with a forceful grab, drags Erik closer so they don't get separated the same way he had done to Kamille, if not a bit more forceful. Fuck! His displeasure is written on his face, but when he next opens his mouth he still sounds polite, respectful.
"Seems you owe me one. Hang on, I don't know how small we are going to get, and hopefully it won't be permanent. If it is, finding help is going to be a pain. Do you know how to defend yourself should we find ourselves attacked?"
He looks down at Erik and lets go of the shirt he had grabbed on to, they were now no longer shrinking. Their size was comparable to a copper coin, but this late at night in empty streets there likely wasn't going to be easy to find help. For now the best solution was to wait and see if the effect would wear off.
"I assume you had no idea this would happen? You would be a fool otherwise, but how about you explain to me first where you got this potion, it is not the first time I came across the like, though that was far from here."

Erik's eyes widened in surprise as he shrunk looking around "What the hell?! Those bastards actually gave that rich jerk a fake?!" he grimaced before he could stop himself, Glancing at the other holding onto him. "Oi let go of me fancy boy! This better not be permanent and of course i can defend myself" he remarked looking around in disbelief as everything around them seemed to grow taller an taller as they shrunk. Erik stepped back from the other once he was let go
He kept his guard up in case the other tried anything and looked at him "where do you think? I nabbed it off some noble jerk. He makes potion runs quite often. didnt think he would ever get ripped off." he shook his head as he looked around. It's going to take forever to get back like this" he muttered as he pulled himself up onto the vobblestone a bit better. "This damn road is way more annoying now..." he remarked. At the very least he figured if he reached tulio and miguel they could find a way to help or maybe tell lady kamille what had happened and she could find a way to fix it
