Truthfully, it was probably for the best that Miss Bridget didn't trust him, less fun though it may be. Evan was spoiled, hanging around humans as much as he had been. Most of them trusted so easily. Few considered the consequences of doing so. He'd better word this as he would to one of his kin, building in the sort of guarantees and clauses he hadn't bothered with in decades.
"You say making a potion to alleviate the effects is comparatively simple, but it's still a highly complex bit of alchemy," Evan pointed out. "I can certainly do it, but it will take time and possibly a lot of experimentation. Let's define the parameters further. For this temporary abeyance, the longest we can hope for is to prolong your transformation for a single night. Anything more would be to invite trouble on a trial run, and anything less would likely not work, if the curse is tied to the sun."
"Are there any allergies I should be aware of? I may do a contact test for any of the more esoteric or volatile ingredients you may not have encountered before." Evan wondered how connected Miss Bridget's human self and dog self were. "I will likely need to do similar tests in your other form as well, just to be safe." Evan leaned forward, staring at Bree until he was sure she was focused on him. "I take what I do seriously. If I am to create an entirely new potion that is tailored specifically to your curse, I will do so to the best of my ability. However, I will need your honesty and cooperation as well. Any details you conceal are to your own detriment, after all. Not mine."
Satisfied his point was made, Evan straightened back up and started jotting notes in his journal again. "To start with, I'll need samples of your essence to experiment on to determine where to begin. A lock of hair would be excellent. A urine sample would be ideal. As I previously stated, getting similar samples from your cursed form is mandatory so I can compare the two. That will be plenty for me to go on, and once I learn what I can, I'll have an idea of anything else I need to make the potion."
"That is the making of the potion, or at least the start. Let's turn to your last question, which I believe is: what will the side effects of the potion be?" Evan looked to Bree and waited for her confirmation before continuing. "It's difficult to say without having designed the potion yet, knowing the ingredients and so forth. But, if your curse is of the type I've seen before, the potion will be designed to essentially trick the curse itself into thinking that it is day for your body when it is night. When that temporal confusion wears off, the whiplash will likely shift you into a dog for an extended period of time. Usually, this will be approximately equal, but I refuse to offer any sort of guarantee at this point, for reasons I'm sure you understand."
That answered two of her questions as fully as Evan thought she could understand, and gave him a bit of time to consider the pesky question in the middle.
"Was that everything, or did you have any other questions?"
