Nabarl was slightly shocked by her ease of accepting that news. But realised that there were probably much weirder things out there than him.
"Well, we're supposed to be going to someone called Ollivanders. The request says it was the clients mentor. As for a Wand, that won't be a problem. Unless there's a Heron in my family tree no-one told me about, I can't use magic. I'm assuming that's required to use a wand, at least?"

"Do you know, I never thought of it like that... But I guess so, yeah... Anyway, Ollivanders is the wand shop, so it doesn't make much difference." Lexi began to lead the way to the wand shop. In truth, she had only been to Diagon Alley a couple of times, and it was always when meeting a witch or wizard Quester from the world, but she was fairly confident that she could find her way around, though she was becoming increasingly aware of the fact that children, and some adults, were staring and talking in hushed voices. It was not something Lexi enjoyed, being noticed, what with all her assassin training telling her to stay in the shadows and not be seen. But, they reached Ollivanders Wand Shop without incident and hurried inside.

Nabarl walked behind Lexi. After a few minutes walking down the busy street, and her pace seemed to increase. It caught Nabarl off guard, and he rushed to keep up. Whoever she was (And Nabarl was starting to think that may be the wrong question...), she was fast. He managed to catch up not long before she headed through a doorway, and a downpour began. Nabarl followed suit.
Inside, an elderly man behind the counter looked up from some paperwork, and began to look over the two.

"Last I heard, he doesn't know about the QA" Lexi whispered to Nabarl, barely audible "so be careful." She turned to the elderly man "Good evening, Mr Ollivander" her green eyes flashed with excitement. Ollivander looked from Lexi to Nabarl and back again, then smiled. "I remember you" he said "you had a thin, willow wand, ten and three quarters inches, with a unicorn hair core." "That's the one" Lexi beamed. "I recognised your eyes, never seen any quite like them in all my years." Lexi almost blushed "So what can I do for you this evening?"

Nabarl was surprised by the mans power of recollection, and even more by Lexi's reaction. She didn't seem the type to be embarrassed easily.
"I believe that would be where I come in, good sir. I was given a letter to bring here, for a Mr. Ollivander." Nabarl took this out from his coat's inner pocket. "I also have some questions, which I will hold until you've finished."

"Well, hand it over then." Ollivander took the letter from Nabarl, opened it up and read it, his eyes darting from left to right as he did so. "Dear Mr Olllivander... Commission the creation of a wand... Branch from the Whomping Willow?... Twelve inches... Cambion hair core?... One hundred galleons and fifty sickles... Oh my..." "Is that bad?" Lexi asked, uncertain. "It is certainly an unusual request for a wand to be commissioned rather than chosen these days, but I suppose it is not unheard of." "I had no idea..." "Most often, the wand chooses the wizard, or witch in your case my dear. Creating a wand for a person is an entirely different matter. Besides which, I will need to acquire the materials, and that will be no easy task." "And I believe that is where we come in." Lexi said, an air of understanding in her voice. "Yes, yes, details, details." Ollivander shook his head, clearly not overjoyed at the prospect of crafting a very specific wand for someone he'd never met. He sighed and turned to Nabarl. "Now, you had some questions, young master."

"Well, as my colleague here said, we're to gather the materials. However, we were given very little basic information beyond your address, or what materials to gather. Which means we lack any information on Cambions. Or how to find them. Any information you could provide us, I would be most grateful for."
Nabarl bowed his head slightly after this. This man was clearly a master of his craft, and deserved some display of respect.

"My own information is somewhat limited on that front, but I shall do what I can." Ollivander looked thoughtfully out of the window as he took his seat behind the desk. "Perhaps the owners of the Magical Menagerie down the alley will know more about it all." Any information you do have would be appreciated, Mr Ollivander" Lexi said, half turning to see what he was staring at. "Well, what I do know is that a Cambion is a hybrid. Half-human, half-demon. Now, that's not to say they are always evil beings, though some people have called them 'the Antichrist'. For example, the great Wizard Merlin, who was counsel to the legendary King Arthur, was a Cambion. Witch mother, demon father." "But how do we find one?"
(OOC: My bad, I'll edit that to make a little more sense)

Nabarl noticably winced at the description of Cambions. He had stories of Beorcs hunting Laguz before, assuming they were half beast, or with the gentle dragons, half demon.
"So a Cambion would most likely look like a Be... an ordinary person? That would make our search troublesome indeed."
He turned to Lexi, and said in a whisper "I think we should move on soon. Before he catches wind of anything."

"Good plan" Lexi whispered back "Um, yes, I believe one would" Ollivander said. 'Oh wonderful...' thought Lexi '...An impossible challenge. Brilliant.' "Ok, thank you Mr Ollivander. I believe we will be able to handle it from here. We'll go to the Magical Menagerie and see what they have to say about it. And I believe the Whomping Willow is on the grounds of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is it not?" "It is, yes." "Right then. Are there any specialist ingredients or tools that you require to craft this wand?"
