"Right. Of course. I..." Don't wanna lie but what else is there to say? "took Rhydian with me." He'd back her up for sure.
MOVING ON TO WHAT SHE FOUND. Lex nudged the sample closer to the pregnant one. "Hairs, the coarse kind, bristly. Found near the entrance of that Elf Shop they got running down there. Place had bits of blood near the counter on the inside, got that too." Which brought her to what the boss man had her passing on. "Right message." Nod. "He wanted me to run this case I dug up by you cause it's Knockturn Alley based and he thinks it might have some relation to Peverell who he said you've got a file on. These," She said, pointing to her samples again, "were found in the location I got wind some diplomats have been meeting and are gonna continue meeting until some top secret hush hush transaction's completed. Checked with a Relations Officer on Level 5 and asked him to look into it for me, they're not aware of Dips coming in right now...like at all."
Her gaze fell curious to Vivi's only samples. "What'd you find?" Lex was lying. And rambling. Both skills that should have been worked out of her sooner, although at this point... was there any hope that Lex would learn to be a better liar? Or at least be better at not being caught? It was the first thing Vivi had ever tried to teach her, and the young woman still hadn't learned it. She never would, it seemed.
Vivi would just have a word with Rhydian about actually accompanying Lex to Knockturn Alley in the future. It wasn't overprotectiveness, since Vivi herself had been attacked there on more than one occasion. It was what a good mentor did.
"You need to slow down and go back. You found hair and blood. Who do you believe it belongs to? What do you think it might indicate? Are you testing to see if it is human, or if it belongs to a specific human? It's a finite sample, which means you need to know what you want to do with it before you begin applying potions. One sample only goes so far, and magically multiplying it can sometimes lead to false results." Vivi washed up her own cauldron and materials before returning her attention to Lex's findings. "Diplomats meeting on Knockturn... you think someone was injured there? Killed?"
As for her own work? Vivi tapped the three phials she had. "Potions samples. I think they used substandard ingredients, if the correct ones at all, and they fell off the back of a broomstick."
