"Ah, I'm not sure of how much of a good luck charm I would be." Charlotte shuffled as she reciprocate his chuckling, albeit nervously, a little embarrassed over being seen as such. For certain she wouldn't have called her life fortunate. At least he seemed adamant over her joining him, even if she felt useless.
She fidgetted a bit with her cutlery, finally finished with her meal. At the very least her knowledge and research she had taken up back in the day may prove somewhat useful. The ruins around central Fiore had often been the focus of her studies, given how close she had been living to them.
"I guess I'll clean up and then we can head to my room." Charlotte forced another smile, her mind still wandering as she pushed her stool back and grabbed the plates to put through the dishwasher. At least showing off her herbalism and medicine making skills would be a chance to show her usefulness.
Escorting the starlight mage and their companions upstairs to her dormitory, she'd show them to her room. There was only one way to describe it. Chaos. It was like someone had set off a small bomb inside. Articles of clothing was strewn all over the place, her desk covered in various books with what could only be described as chicken scratch scribblings from her notemaking. Despite all this, Charlotte didn't seem embarrassed in the slightest by the state of her room, as she lead them inside, pushing aside a bunch of things, tossing them on the ground as she cleaned off her alchemy set and brought out the plant she'd collected from earlier.
Over the next couple of hours, she'd slowly go through the steps for harvesting the plant in the most efficient manner, disecting it and how to make one of the balms she had mentioned previously. It would become abundantly clear how much she loved it, as she would practically talk his ear off as she worked excitedly.
Once it was time to say goodbye, Charlotte would gift him with a small portion of the balm, which she'd put into one of her many small containers. Explaining it would give a nice soothing sensation if applied to the skin, good for itches, rashes etc. The tamer would give Renji an extra big cuddle before finally sending them off to continue their work in the East.
