Oh...

That sounds very good! But I'm afraid I'm a vegetarian. :(

Oh, that isn't a problem. I can't feed the horse chicken either.

Let me make something. It's not as if I have anything else to do while this potion settles.

Are you sure? [Wait he's not going to argue with that] Thank you!! I'd really like that!

What kind of potion are you making?

I hope you like peas.

I made a pulp out of some leaves that have restorative properties a while back, and I'm trying to combine it with caffeine to make a rejuvenating potion. It would be like having an energy drink without the awful period afterward where you are tired and sick.

... I assume, anyway. Right now it just looks like fermented tea.

Mm, I do!

[ .... ]

Ah...wouldn't it be safer just to cut back on your caffeine intake? It must be a high amount if it's making you sick afterwards.

But I need to be able to stay up longer. Six hours of sleep wastes so much time! I could be doing other things, like cleaning, or organizing the library, or reading...

I don't know about it being a waste of time, but caffeine is no proper substitute for sleep, Belthazar. Listing th damage done from depriving yourself of sleep could fill a book if it hasn't already.

[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH. The pause allows one to imagine the adolescent groan.]

I don't want to forgo sleep entirely. I want to just put it off for a little while.

[save_the_souls]

Six hours a day is already the minimum of what someone should be sleeping, and you can't really put that off. If you do that, you could risk brain damage. You don't want brain damage, do you?

[YOU MIGHT GET DUMBER BELTH. IMAGINE THAT HORROR]

[arcanepower]

How much do you know about elven biology? For all you know, I could only need to sleep half as much as a regular human.

[He's being a brat, but he totally understands the message.]

[save_the_souls]

[ Yep definite brat. He's rolling his eyes over here, but at least he'll be truthful ]

Not much, admittedly. Most elven cultures I've encountered seem to hold healing magic in much higher faith than medical science, so our understanding of elven anatomy is very limited.

Though they do still seem to need sleep.

[arcanepower]

... I don't know either. I sleep when I am tired. And I have a tendency to lose track of time because of reading, so...

[He tried.]

[save_the_souls]

[...]

Just...stick with energy drinks. And if you start feeling unwell, cut back on them for a bit.
