Best not to make the man more awkward than he appeared by asking for it in case he was possessive of the knowledge on the list. “Right…” he answered with a nod to show he was indeed listening. Then the first thing he did was summon a basket from the pile kept by the door, the better to gather a bunch of items without trying to juggle them.

“Well you were close to the slugs,” he mused, putting a few in a container that allowed them to remain fresh. Leeches and slugs were kept near as they were similar in properties. Putting the container in the basket, Gideon moved onto the next closest item, his familiarization with the exact shop layout a plus. “Boomslang skin…” he identified as he picked up the item, adding it as well. A turn around the corner and up the next aisle got the rat spleen already in a jar which was added to the basket. "I'll weigh that at the counter to make sure its enough," he assured the man.

Jack eyed the basket summoned by the shopkeeper and then promptly plopped the jar of leeches into it. His hand shot out and grabbed the knotgrass as the man reached for the slugs and it too was added to the basket. It occurred to Jack that if he had sent the shopkeeper to get all the ingredients it would be fairly easy to pocket a few things. He just wasn’t really sure what exactly in here would be worth…

Oooooo! His eyes landed on something shiny. And Long. Both good things. He could probably get a decent price for that to the right buyer –

”What?” he said as the shopkeeper said something about skin. ”Skin. Right right.” He needed to focus. What else was on the list? He glanced down at it…

3 lbs- fluxweed
1 lb - knotgrass
15 oz - lacewing flies
6 oz - leeches
1 lb - horned slugs
15 oz- powdered Bicorn horn
10 oz- Rat Spleen
3 bls - shredded Boomslang skin

Mmm…He glanced into the shopkeeper’s basket. ”I also need 15 ounces of powdered Bicorn horn.” And while the guy was getting that – he’d find the lacewing flies.
