Both the old man and I were stunned silent for a good half a minute, until I finally spoke.
"So, uh… I take it I succeeded?"
But in response, the old man nearly toppled over.
"Woah-!" I hurriedly stood up and caught him in my arms, using 'Blink' to teleport behind him. "Oi, old geezer, you okay?"
"A… A Golden Pill… to think I would be able to see… something of this caliber… in my lifetime…"
"H-Huh? Hey, don't die on me now!"
"SHUT UP!" The man suddenly roared, getting back to his (stumped) feet. "WHO'S DYING, HUH? YOU TRYNA CURSE ME, BOY?!"
"E-Er, no… I just thought…"
"Ugh, never mind…" The old man growled grumpily and sat down on his bed beside where I was. "Boy… do you really not have any alchemic experience?"
"Why would I lie about that?"
