"Why we're bringing milk to your friend?"

"Because she is going to be running a little late. The café close for the day. Plus, you can know this side of the Pride area better." Ivy explained to her imp employee. She was a bit surprised how close she started to get with part-time employee.  Crazy enough they risk their own life to help her that day in the cafe.  Would be a year now they been working with her.

Plus, a bonus when she got to talk to his Madre. That woman expression was priceless when she got to see her in person with the 'lobster' nickname. Then called her Buttercup. Defiantly was looking up flower language to get back at her.

"Is there no grocery store close by to get milk?" The pair of them holding boxes that were sealed up.

"Mox this is a plant that is called milk. Why would I seal milk up?"

"Why not a green house? To keep the milk chilled?

"This is a special kind of plant." Let loose a chuckle at the last comment. "In this case no. I don't need to chill store brand milk."

"Then why not just give her some milk to grow?"

"Like I said special kind and different way to nurture it to grow." Wave for a taxi and the pair got inside.

Drove for a while till they reach their spot. Then walk the rest of the way. Ivy mention the destination wasn't too far away now.

Moxxie glance at a few of the building. Look like any other part of the city. But seem to be extra shops or small size building. Along with how they seem to be Victorian like but kept up to date. "Is this like that cannibal whatever colony?"

"Not exactly. You could say one who live here are very, very old when they arrive from hell. But see different kind of sinners in this sections. Unlike the cannibal colony who keep things like electronics, or the internet out. This side is a mix a both except can live with the old but can add a twist of modern."

"What we looking for exactly?"

"A shop that would be confused for an office building. It'll look average size. Probably will have a sign out with class in session. She better be there."

"Why wouldn't she?"

"She a very busy witch and here we are."

The shop looks dark from the glass window. Curtains hallway closed but should be enough to see inside. But really couldn't even with the light. The door was made of wood but in the center was three tear drop on top of a circle design. Indeed, was a signing hanging outside.

Class in session! If you're late you're still paying! Have a nice day!

"No, name?"

"No, but usually these," point at the three tear drops and the circle, "Indicate it her work when it her job."

Soon the pair went inside.

It looks like a shop to buy ingredients.

"Really should lock it." Ivy shakes her head and set the box down on the counter. "Mox stay here while I go find her."

"If someone comes in?"

"If they steal that's on her. But stupid if they do. So, don't take anything outside the shop unless you pay." Goes to one of the doors and walk through.

Would that mean they have to pay the milk now? Moxxie thought. He looked around the place and study. It gave them like medical shop feel if they think about it. How well contained the material are on the shelves. Not disorganized either. Then notice a few things.

Some look like different colored powdered. Color liquids. That either look thick, watery or like goo. Feathers. Legs piled up with different insects. Scorpion tails. Leaves. Mushroom of different varieties. Herbs. Bone pieces. A few household ingredients that are like dry ginger, cinnamon. Crystal shards. Dried fruit. Flower petals. A fish head with lots of teeth. There was a lot actually.

"Huh that must be the real milk."

See a jar of liquid that was indeed label milk. From Hell cows. Next, to it an empty jar that label milk. These are plants.

"They take their milk seriously." Glance hearing some footsteps and see a sinner. Her white hair in a bun with bangs covering her left eye. Notice a three tear drop jewels on a hairpin. Along with a round jewel that was on a pin.

"Oh! You must be one my late ones!"

"Late ones?" 

The sinner walking up fast. The visible azure blue eye looking them over. Her claw like hand rubs her floating head. "Hmm you're quite the smallest runt I ever taught. I never met with an imp with blue marks? Did you color them in?"

"Yes, because I love the feel of needle against my skin and bones." Gave her their usual deadpanned look.

"Humorous one are we." She chuckles.

"There you are!"

The pair turn to see Ivy arrived as she left from the door.

"Oh, Ivy you arrived!" Selena clapped her hands together. "I also see the boxes. For me?"

"No, there for the druggies across the street." Roll her eyes. "I see you met my employee."

"Your empl-Oh! So, this is your little helper! I thought they were a late student of mine."

"Nope. This is Moxxie. Moxxie the is Selena."

"Hello little runt."

"Hello original."

Selena stared and laughs. "My, my quite a sassy mouth this one got."

"You have no idea. Need some help putting them up?"

"If you don't mind."

"What about this class of yours?"

"Oh! There in the back room learning how to mix ingredients without me. Can't have help all the time."

Put up the milk plants.

"Thank you again Ivy dropping them off."

"It's no problem- "Stop when her phone rings. "Hold on a second. Got to take this."

"Of course. Of course." Wave her off as she walks away. Then look at the Imp name Moxxie. "So, Moxxie. What your views on potions?"

"What kind were talking about?"

"-Yeah, alright ill get over there." Ivy hangs up and walk back over. "Mox, we got to go. I got to head to the bank since some buffoon lost a damn bank record of mine. So, I'm about to sue someone ass."

"Oh! I cam watch him!" Selena smiles big. "He can join my potion class and then you can come back for them!"

"You sure?"

"Positive!"

"...I'm not a child."

"Mox be somewhat good for her."

"You wound me, Ivy!"

"Make sure know one gets touchy with him. That includes you."

"What the heck?"

"Not that way! At least not you. Your students on the hand if they do. Well, not paying for any damaged fees."

"I can just- "

"How sweet of you to think of me."

"I was thinking for your shop and lost of inventory."

"Go."

"Moxxie Ill be back for you in an hour. Don't shoot unless they do something first."

"Bye, Ivy!"

"..."

"Come along runt!" Grab the scarf and drag them into the next room.

Next, thing Moxxie knows. They are indeed in a classroom with eight other who were sinners and hellborns. Different ages. Then again, this class is like one those random art classes for example. Like go to their business, do a class on a certain art work and done.

"Alright class! Let's see what you got so far without my help. Don't bother the newbie as they follow along. One of you come one at a time to present your work." Selena smile pleasantly.

Moxxie not bothered watching but look at what on their table. Different small ingredient jars, with bowls, random cauldron, beakers and equipment. A mix of old and new. Along with a book, pencils and small notepad. Plus were notes on a rolled in marker board. Grab a jar of teeth to read it over along with the book.

Selena stared at the potion that was blue and bubbling. "What is this?"

"The sleep potion you told us to do."

"Really now." Grab it. She hums and look it over. Then dump it in a container what look like a grasshopper. Who were now jumping to fast that you couldn't see them. Then died in five seconds. "Congrats you gave them a heart attack!"

"But you poured it- "

"Does this look like clear liquid! You made it into a nasty shade of blue!"

"But- "

"SIT DOWN! Next, please."

"Crazy bitch."

The student screams being thrown across the room. Everyone ducks down besides Moxxie. Who was too busy looking at the ingredient while writing stuff down.

"What I say about being rude to the teacher? Only be rude if I really deserved it! Now, get yourself up the floor hasn't been cleaned yet." Selena smile at her students. "Next, please were on a busy schedule everyone plus this is your money."

Let's just say it took a while for each one to go one at a time. The results weren't so pleasant either. Well for the grasshoppers at least.

"It's a damn sleep potion! I still trying to figure out why yours turn into fire. While your now possibly became a modified version of a hallucination drug!"

"Can I keep it?"

"No! You should have called me for help!"

"You told us to do it by ourselves!"

"You can still be asked for help if you get really stuck! I would have given you a hint at least!" Selena huffed while the class yelled or pulling their hair, or fur. "Now start over!"

All them grumble and relooking what they did wrong.

Selena sighs and shakes her head. While she does mind the money. She does want some of her lessons to get through their heads. Its not like she teaching her important, risky potions. Even those took her awhile to fully mastered with many test. Plus, it gets amusing she'll have like magic and science mind argue with the other. Can be quite a blood bath. Look around and stop a bit. Oh! Dear she almost forgot the runt! How cruel of her.

Walk away from her small desk and slowly walk around the class. Tsk seeing each potion turns revolting or not stirred around. Soon, made it to the back and pause. Her eyes glance at the different notes first. Some words she couldn't quite understand, but then spot a few she could. Then glance at the ingredients around Moxxie.

Moxxie stirring a caldron. Now and then stop to look at the heat. Turn to look down at three different ingredients by their side. Contemplating.

"Trouble."

Turn to look at Selena studying them.  Stare at her and small nob yes. "Confused."

"How so?"

"The different honey."

"Ah." Soon sitting down right by them. Stop when she notices how they tense slightly. Let out a casual hum to move her chair slightly but still a decent distance. She reaches out to grab the different jars. "Many tend to forget that honey can actually be different. Can be quite a problem if not the right one."

Moxxie stared at her with a small nob. A little note they put down.

"Lower you a heat a little lower. You have it fine now but it can make a different with the right temperature you use." Selena looking at his caldron and hums. "Not bad. A little too thick looking for my taste but the honey might be able to keep it even." 

"Wouldn't that depend on everything else as well to agree with it?"

"Most cases yes. Even a certain degree depending the sleep potion." She took the spoon and stirred it. A slightly hum. "Just need to see if you pick the right one. Along the right amount to use, the heat, and if you did everything else right."

"If it fails?"

"Just have to see for the final result. Plus, we can start over." Stood back up. "Just look at the coloring and each label carefully."

The glasses wearing imp watches her walk back around. She smacks someone on the back of the head trying to slip a jar in their coat. Look back at the bottles and got back to work.

After a few minutes.

"Alright everyone let's go again!"

The results were somewhat better. Then lastly was Moxxie turn.

The sinner hums and look at the beaker closely. Use a measuring spoon to twirl the liquid inside. Eyes narrowed closely. Use the spoon to gather the liquid and put it inside the contain with the grasshopper. The bug fell asleep. Then woke back up in five minutes.

The class snickered and whispered stupid imp.

Moxxie really didn't care what they said. Just was in their thoughts wondering if they had the amount wrong. If the temperature wasn't lowered enough. Or even the right one.

Selena slams her hand down. Then her bun like hair started to growl.

Everyone shut up quickly. Moxxie glance at the bun. Then mind went back to thinking.

"Shut it all of you. At least they got theirs to sleep!" Selena eye narrowed at the quite students. "The importance of this class was to make a sleep potion. I never mention how long should the effects last! The potion I was getting I was letting you try to make was one to last a hour."

"But they messed up- "

"They still got theirs to sleep. Even for five minutes that is still sleep. A nap at best but sleep. All of yours killed the grasshopper, traumatized it or now grew extra legs." She lifts the potion up. "There still specks of left-over hue of gold if you shine it in the light correctly. Just barely. Could have fooled many. Which can happen. They just picked the honey with the lesser effects to be left specks aside. What they did at the beginning I'm not sure. Its improvement then what you lot showed me."

"I messed up."

"You choose the wrong one but you still accomplished the goal I wanted. It's annoying but at least you got what I wanted out this class." Hand them back the potion. "Try out the other two and look back those notes of yours."

Everyone gap.

That was the closes she ever told someone on a congratulations.

"What you all looking at? Were not done everyone! Do it again!"

"Can't we do a different potion?"

"I'm sorry! I'm not the complaining box here to hear your whines how hard it is. I'm the damn teacher who providing you ingredients your wasting! Either you start stirring or go in the alleyways to get me some rat tails!"

Everyone got back to work.

Ivy finally came back to the shop. Took longer than expected. Along with wanting to strangle the staff. They were literally sitting on their bank record. Seriously she glad she didn't put all her money there. Arrive to the shop. Then went to the back where the class room usually is. The plant sinner stare at the sight.

It was just Moxxie and Selena in the room. The pair talking to each other. Well, look like Selena was doing a lot of talking. Moxxie just nods or was mixing an ingredient in the caldron. It looks like they been working for a while now.

Look quite content.

"Ivy glad your back!" Selena wave at her direction. "Everything settled?"

"Mostly my time wasted but yes. Where is everyone?" Ivy watches Selena walks over to her.

"Oh, just gathering some ingredients in a treasure hunt. The runt and I been enjoying our time." Look back at Moxxie being very focus. "I have to say this one has a good pair of eyes."

"You? Giving someone a compliment."

"Oh, hush you. I can give them if they deserve it or showing progress. But I'm being serious. They are quite a smart one. A sassy grump too."

"Maria did say their level of intelligence was different. But doesn't mind learning if it catches their attention."

"Well, she definitely right about that." Watch them closely. "If they ever have free time. I would like for them to stop by."

"Well, that's Moxxie call."

"Fine, fine. Well, it'll give me another chance to maybe come to your café more often."

"How generous. I'll make sure to charge you extra."

"How I throw in a love potion?"

"I think I'll be fine. Mox you ready to go?"

"Yes."

"Don't want to stay till they get back?"

"They'll either be dead, come back from dead or running away with injuries."

"Selena where you send your students?"

"Rat hunting. I heard Rat tails are becoming a hit again!"
