The male staff looked at Alex with a slight hesitation in his stance. "Um… are you sure you wish to purchase all of this? I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I should warn you that this is going to cost a lot."
"That's fine. I can pay," Alex said. "Also, I don't exactly want to buy everything within the talisman. If you wouldn't mind looking through it again, you'll see that some of the ingredients I need are dependent on whether the first ingredient exists or not. For example, if the Fire Spider Nestle leaves are available for purchase, I will not need the Flamefall Egg plant, the Rogue Hornet Flower, or the Saint Pumice Wildflower."
The staff looked through the ingredients list again, this time recognizing the choices that Alex had placed onto the list itself. Because Alex wasn't certain that he would find everything he wanted in this place, he had made sure to list out the alternatives he could buy instead.
