"A student of Philarx?" Pannis said in surprise, "How did a student of Philarx come to look for you? I remember you two didn't know each other, with no dealings between you. Could I be mistaken?"
"Sss, you are not mistaken, back then we indeed did not know each other," Alcmene said. "However, in these recent decades, sss, he has come to seek me out a few times, so we got acquainted. What's so strange about that?"
"Hmm, there can be only one reason for him seeking you out," Pannis frowned and said. "To seek treatment from you?"
"Yes, he's been coming to me for some herbs to treat his illness, sss," Alcmene nodded. "His health has been declining over the years, sss, but that's not surprising. After all, he has used time magic to forcibly break through human limits and lived several decades longer. It's inevitable that his body deteriorates."
