"Ah ha! So you've heard of that part of the legend! No, fortunately my staff is not made of that caustic material. The lethality of that tree has not been understated. I'm not even sure the tree still exists anymore outside of research centers and temples, at the very least, not in any civilized part of this country." Bunsen replies.
Emerald asks if all the shaman of Marjani are really accomplished alchemists, and asks what he has done.
"Ha! Yes, it's true. Not to toot my own horn, but all Marjani head shaman are talented alchemists. My most recent claim to fame is the rust potion." He says, smiling, "But I'm probably better known for creating a bone-setting potion for use in medicine."
"A rust potion?" Ruby says ignoring the second part of his statement, "What could that possibly be useful for?"
"Well… It's been very useful during the war against those… Machines…" Bunsen says, his face falling.
Emerald quickly changes the subject and asks why the mask could possibly need to be used as a gasmask.
"Oh, it's tradition for the head shaman to be wearing a Marjani Mask while doing his alchemy work." Bunsen says, smiling again.
Emerald then asks what is expected from followers of Marjani.
"The pursuit of knowledge, especially alchemy. Pretty muych above all else. Those who are loyal to Marjani may find inspiration when they thought themselves the most stuck in their research." The short Zebra says, nodding.
