"Oh, my job? Ikarus, you know I'm not supposed to talk about it! ...fine, but only for you Iki. When I was a little hatchling, before I was here that is, I had hatched over by the trading post. You know the one, right? The one Gold would take us to? Well I had hatched near there. Baldwin found me. He took me in for a bit, gave me some food he was planning to use for transmutation, and then he passed me off to Gold when she came to visit. I never stopped bothering Gold about seeing him again, I had enjoyed my time with him so much. Everytime she took us to the trading post I would sneak off and go watch him work. One day I was able to fly down on my own, when we were old enough to be considered adults, and the first thing I did was go down to Baldwin and ask to work with him. He was happy to see me again, so he readily took me in as an apprentice. Everything that gets transmuted from here is done by me. I've made a vow to only use things I create, like my mask. This mask is the first thing I ever created from materials that wasn't just a simple beaker or something. I hope that, maybe one day, I could even go the same way as Baldwin. I feel like turning into a Bogsneak would solidify my role as his apprentice, or even an alchemist completely with how difficult it is to make a potion for it. I dont know. Thats about it, honestly. My next goal is to make a familiar! I really want to make an anomalous skink or a conjoined skink but it costs so much to get the materials. Maybe you and Octave could help me get them! Oh shoot I have a brew to finish, bye Iki!"
