"Ah, well, truth be told, I do need some more materials than just the herbs- but I do have at least one lead." Artemy says carefully, not sure how First Aid will react to his medical practices, "I'm sure others will be sought out in time and I will be able to make plenty in time for winter."
He makes that promise both to First Aid and to himself. No matter what the cost.
"Oh, well...if you do want any help sourcing ingredients, you can always come to me for assistance," First Aid offers earnestly, blissfully unaware of just how little use his own mechanical body would be in this area. Although he could always introduce Artemy to the concept of an organ donor list.
"Sally Doyle, our pharmacist, also happens to be an excellent chemist, if you haven't talked to her yet," he suggests.
"I will let you know." Yes, it's too bad, but yeah. Your body doesn't really carry the diseased organs necessary to make antibiotics. We do have a lead but Artemy doesn't know about that yet so shhhh
"I would love to meet a pharmacist." He admits, "Coordinating with her would be most helpful in preparing for the months to come. I should visit her."
"She's very skilled," First Aid confirms eagerly. "It might have taken us three or four times as long to synthesize penicillin from the basic compounds without her expertise. And by the way, her daughter? Is adorable." First Aid is still one of little Gwen's biggest fans! And now just because he's one of the tallest people in town.
Oh, Artemy loves children. He's great with them. He's not going to SAY anything about it, but he misses being around kids so much.
"I should write to her posthaste." Artemy says, he walks to his brewery stand, feeling about for a pen and parchment, "Do you happen to know an address for this Miss Sally?"
"Of course!" The address for Sally's pharmacy easily comes to mind -- he's been there often enough! "Although...you know, you could write her a letter...or you could let give you a lift over there, and I'll introduce you directly. I think that'd be nice, wouldn't it?"
"That, oh, yes, of course." Artemy nods, seeming slightly embarrassed that he didn't think of such a possibility on his own. "As long as you do not think I would be imposing I would appreciate an introduction."
"Not at all! Your professions overlap, so I'm sure she'd be happy to speak to you as well!" First Aid says firmly. "If you're not busy, I can take you over right now."
Too bad Sally already has a boyfriend. Ah well, she's still got eyes!
