[they don't have rat access to this place but scien will step forward, looking at the different vials and bottles of medicine. he reads over them and frowns.]
Basic things that I don't want to recreate myself, I suppose. It takes too much labor to do everything...
[but as he's reading labels,]
Is the coughing sensation uncomfortable to you? It will be difficult to eradicate as long as the flowers themselves appear. But if your throat is sore, I can develop lozenges or something to numb the discomfort.
[ ready to casually pocket some rolls of clean bandages or whatever for minor injuries... but hmm. ]
...I was hoping to avoid the coughing altogether. [ such wishful thinking... ] The symptoms are bearable, otherwise. Though I wouldn't turn down lozenges, if only to get rid of the taste.
[ imagine walking around for a week with the taste of bitter plant matter in your mouth. ]
What can I do for you in exchange?
[ he knows scien can be particular about his debts—diluc likes to pay his as well. (even if he doesn't really count them where scien is concerned.) ]
[just assume that scien got diluc some lozenges by tuesday at the very least. he won't ask what flavor so it'll probably be honey
he shakes his head.]
No payment. It will be a public good offered to everyone, and costs me nothing but time to produce. If there is something I need you to do later, I will ask.

...Ah.
[ diluc sighs quietly, but he will give scien a nod in thanks. ]
Nevermind, then. Was there anything here that might be useful to you?
[ maybe they can "borrow" some supplies. ]
