Ahem.

[The video reveals a rather proper looking young girl (ignore the old blood stains on her dress), sat in front of a rather impressive sprawl of vials, jars, and herbs.]

I am Sieglinde Sullivan, and though I have made some of your acquaintances, there are far more of you than one can expect me to know- so please consider this my formal introduction.

[She pauses, until. Yes, that's right, no one could reply yet.]

My true purpose in contacting you all is to find out who among you is capable of healing, whether that be in the scientific or magical sense. I am aware of some of you, but I could use some assistance in the production of potions and salves if there are any among you competent with such things.

Even someone unskilled could be of use if you are willing to learn and have a steady hand.

I would also appreciate the chance to speak more leisurely with those who may have knowledge of healing methods different from those of my own.

I await your contact with pleasure.

That I am.

[There had been a period when she couldn't say that sort of thing with pride... But ALASTAIR has restored her faith in her own magic, bolstered her abilities, and the title came out smoothly again. The Green Witch.

She doesn't dodge the issue of the suspect items on the list, either, nodding to confirm that.]

It is good you know of that- though I assure you my interest is limited to the ways they can be used to purge the body of fouler things.

[Nothing like poison mushrooms to encourage vomiting...]

[Merlin would understand that. There's a time he couldn't speak about his magic at all. So all in all, his experiences outside of Camelot could certainly have been worse.]

Oh yeah, Gaius used to keep some of the same. Uhm...

[He looks around for a satchel or something to collect things in.]

I can get started right away. [But then Merlin seems to hesitate when he looks back at her.] Can I do anything for you before I leave?

[His eyes drop briefly, looking to her legs.]

[grunehexe]

[Sieglinde blinked curiously at first when he cast his gaze around, but it clicked a second later, and a small "oh" escaped her before she twisted around in her chair and looked about, struggling momentarily to remember before she dove under a pile of scribbled notes and came back up with a small leather satchel, which she offered him.]

That would be most useful for me. And once you return, I can impart some of my knowledge, if you'd like.

[Her expression did drop for a single moment when she noticed where he was looking, but she hid it decently, shaking her head.]

- I am alright. These experiments need my attention at present.

[She wouldn't be moving for a while yet.]

[servant]

Alright. I'll hurry back.

[He's eager to hear some of that knowledge. Gaius would probably accuse him of never having such an interest in his work, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right? Plus this seems different, more of a blend of talents.

Merlin takes a few quick steps towards the door before turning one last time.]

Oh, and if you remember anything else, you can always contact me!

[He keeps forgetting about that little convenience.]

[grunehexe]

Very good, Merlin.

[It was very, very difficult not to let her excitement get the better of her- she was potentially ordering around the Merlin, here. But she managed to reign in it- she'd have to think of a proper potion to demonstrate to him upon his return... perhaps the one that purified wounds...]

That is right-

[She patted the end of the chatelaine chain around her waist, where her own device was programmed.]

Upon your return we shall begin.
