I need you to come over. I hope you're not full; I've at least four samples of blood for you to drink.

[wolfjohnwolf]

[Hm. Disconcerting.]

I do hope this was meant for someone else, as I am not in the habit of drinking blood.

[originallutece]

More's the pity: I could use a new test subject. The vampire population is a bit too small to be satisfactory.

[wolfjohnwolf]

I'm afraid I can't help you there, but you've made me curious. Are you attempting to create a blood substitute?

[originallutece]

Yes. It's going rather well so far, actually; I've worked out a fair amount of the initial problems.

Remus Lupin. Bookshop owner and wizard. Pleasure to meet you, Madam Rosalind.

I was never a deft hand at potion-making, I'm afraid, so although a human blood substitute exists specifically for the consumption of vampires in my world, I'm sorry to say I can offer no expertise on it. But I do find it very impressive you've apparently come so far in crafting a version of your own. May I ask after your methods?

[originallutece]

You can, but it may be more efficient to see me work in person than for me to write it down.

And I'd like a bit more information on what wizard means.

In short, it means I was born with the ability to use magic. In my case, I inherited it from my father, but where I'm from it's been known to spring up unexpectedly in otherwise entirely nonmagical families. I would be happy to discuss both matters at length in person.
