This time his shopping list was entirely different - he had on order a special blue dust that was gathered from the wings of the Arubi Moth that fluoresced in the dark with properties famed for getting people to speak the truth.
It worked on both mortals and fey and once a little was ingested by breath, folk could speak only honest words for a day or so until it had dissolved. It was not a widely circulated substance as nobody really wanted it to get out, and few knew it was even available unless they were in the trade.
-Gabriel Brunsdon, Puck in Hell, Azlander Series
