so i'm still thinking about a rival most vial and i can't stop imagining eli joining an adventurer party and as the new guy, he naturally becomes the errand boy
so they send him to the griffin's claw to restock on the potions they're going to need for their next job, but he comes back with way too much leftover money and everyone's like "hey eli, what the fuck did you do. please tell me you didn't steal these? come on we can't afford to get on mr beake's bad side, he owns the only decent potion shop in the entire scar"
but eli's like "no guys it's okay, i'm actually dating the owner, so i get the family discount"
no one believes him, because ambrose beake doesn't like ANYBODY, there's no way their sunshine himbo managed to woo him
so eli has no choice but to introduce the party to ambrose
and ambrose, who promised dawn he would try and be more sociable, makes small talk with the party, and at one point he jokes that, "yeah, i'll give your party discounts on all the potions you buy from me from now on, but in return you have to make sure nothing happens to my boyfriend's pretty face"
the party all get a kick out of that, and it ends up becoming a running joke for them
one time eli gets a black eye on a job and their archer starts wailing, "nooooo!! that's our money maker! quick, we gotta heal him! i can't go back to paying full price for healing potions. do you have any idea how many of those we go through per job?"
