"I'll close a bit early tonight, so you don't have to wait as long," she knew she'd lose a customer or two, but she was more concerned about not making Esperanza wait a while longer. "Wait, I don't know your name," she'd chuckle lightly after realizing this since she had already invited Esperanza into her home. "I think you might know mine though, if not I'm Ivy," she'd think for a moment then realize, "You probably could've figured that out yourself though." she'd gotten so caught up with talking to Esperanza she forgot she had to close early either way since she wanted to get some food from the surface. "It may be a bit more expensive, but she's decent," she'd mutter to herself.

"Oh, hell yeah! I'm never really busy," she'd be really excited to maybe be able to make food for another person and to be able to work on helping Esperanza. She'd think about it for a moment and realized, "Wait, I don't have anything to inject poison, you could try it with poisons you could ingest, although it will be a lot longer to build up." She'd realize she could slip a small bit of poison in her food to hide the bad taste of low toxicity poisons. "Also, would you like to stay for dinner? I could probably put some poisons that don't taste good in there but aren't a high level of toxicity. Do you have any allergies?" she'd be cautious of not severely hurting her new friend.

"Alright, when would you like our first session to be," she'd ask with an incredibly excited look in her eye, it had been so long since she'd seen someone after work hours, she couldn't help being excited, although she'd attempt to hide that excitement for no particular reason. She would accidentally begin to question why Esperanza is unable to come around the full moon, maybe she was a dragon werewolf or something. No, werewolves are only ever in fairytales, it was likely she just had meetings on those days or something similar to that.

"I mean, it seems like a fair trade. I always wanted to help someone, who isn't a serpent," she would've helped Esperanza gain a poison tolerance either way, although this gave her a better reason to do so. She was admittedly quite excited to learn how to control her powers, to the point of being more excited about that than teaching Esperanza who to build up a poison tolerance. She never really thought she would learn much more about her powers, although Esperanza seems very knowledgeable of how she could better her powers. "When would you like to start this? I'm free every weekend and around 8 pm each day, although I'm not sure you'd want to practice at 8 pm," she normally wasn't one to plan things in advance, although she was so excited she had to plan ahead.

"It'd be possible, although it would be easier to inject the poison and slowly gain a tolerance to poison entering your bloodstream," Ivy seemed very willing to help Esperanza gain a tolerance to poisons since in her youth she tried to gain a high poison tolerance, although her aunt found out and tried to prevent her. "I would recommend starting with milksnake venom and proceeding to stronger venoms," she'd take a moment to say this although it would come off as she was just making a rough idea. She'd had an incredibly excited look in her eyes and would begin again, "Maybe one day you'd be able to live through a large dose of black mamba venom!" She felt excited to see someone who wasn't a snake gain poison tolerance.
