[Yeah, surely that's all there is to it, just Natsuno actually listening to such a request without the slightest bit of argument for once--except that's. A bit odd too, in itself, now isn't it? Something about the way he freezes in reaching for that cap, and then just promptly puts down the bottle altogether without any further pretense at all...
Maybe Jade's just reading too much into it, of course. He'd half convince himself of as much, to be honest, if he weren't finding himself also now keeping track of that consistent slight aversion to the holy bottles too? ...Even as the topic drifts rather abruptly to the panacea bottles instead, Jade's plucking a holy bottle from the box under the pretense of an idle examination of his own. And if he incidentally does so with a gesture that brings the bottle inadvertently closer to Natsuno for a moment, well. That's probably a coincidence too. ...Mostly...]
Dark bottles do run cheaper than any other type in a given bottle set for that sort of reason. There are indeed still a few more convoluted uses for them in matters like traps though, yes. Or training, for the particularly combat-ambitious...or better ease in hunting down specific kinds of monsters for valuable parts, or what have you. [A nonchalant sort of run-down, on that front, as if the number of monsters on Auldrant is in fact quite large--which would be about right, honestly. They're basically a whole other subset of more dangerous fauna...! And so are addressed as such, but. Anyway.] Those other bottles, though, are panacea bottles. "Cure-alls", some call them sometimes...not entirely accurate. But they do alleviate quite a few ailments--especially effective for poisoning, or paralysis. Seems there's only two of these in the whole box, though...can't have too much of a good thing around here, now can we?
