He chuckled mildly, his smirk growing. His eyes were laughing at her as he spoke. "However, it is part of my job responsibility to stock the hospital wing, and I am not willing to shirk that responsibility to help you. I assure you, I am competent and capable of managing my time-- though of course not as well as you are, but we cannot all have the advantages you have, Cari."He laughed at this little in-joke between them, sure she would know just what he meant. "I will of course play along with your game, dear, but I must insist on managing the hospital wing's potion stores. Now, if you could please compile a list for me, I shall pick it up tomorrow." His tone indicated that this was not a request, but a direct command. The past aside, he simply would not have this slip of a girl blocking him from completing his duties.
