Too much Fred and Ginger makes Apathy something something.
The apothecary is dank and musty, a wonderland of enticing aromas and revolting stenches. The world seems suspended in time; even the dust hangs lazily in mid-air, waiting for a wake-up clarion that will never come.

She dips a spitty finger into some dirty yellow powder, and touches the concoction to her tongue. The pungent tang is immediately forgotten, replaced by an intoxicating dizziness.

"You've just made cerralg paste. Wonderful for making people talk." A hint of pride escapes in her mother's voice.

She files the information away. A jar glimmers in the wan light. Red, like her mother's eye.

Is this Natira?

I like the description of the apothecary.

Heh. No.

The last bit is confusing, I know. Whee!

Is it Noranti like Shaye says? I can see it now.

I was thinking about Natira's thing for eyes.

Holy crap. I can't believe you wrote baby!Noranti. So. Wrong. (Yet so right. I like. Muchly.)

Hee *g*. Nice to be reminded that everyone, even Noranti, was young once.

WHEEEEE! It's Noranti! Excellent description. I knew it was her at this point:

She dips a spitty finger into some dirty yellow powder

How many other folk have the spitty finger and the revolting smells around them? But up until that point I thought it was Zhaan.

What does it say about me that I thought immediately of Noranti and Zhaan didn't even pop into my head?

Great drabble... hee, Baby Noranti! I love it!

I'd never think Zhaan's apothecary would be dank and musty. I immediately thought *Noranti*. And then, *Noranti having a mother... thats just wrong*. hehe
