Felix's smile grew ten fold at her question. He got very little chance to talk to people, especially pretty young women, so this was a particular joy. "Well it's funny you would ask!" Bonati said, with more then a little joy. After the girl and man ran by he raced back down to his horse and wagon. "You see my dear I am a Jack of all trades!" He threw the tarp off his carriage and beneath it was a lab/workshop. Bottles filled with peculiar liquids lined shelves next to spices and herbs of amazing variety. Next to all of these on one single table was tools, some of which were the normal everyday variety and others were oblong and just downright odd. What appeared to be a working chemistry set sat on a bench next to an also working still. "I, Miss. Lexington, am whatever you want me to be!"

He moved into the wagon and started going through his sales pitch. "I am a good engineer, a crack shot with a rifle. I can be a blacksmith, a chemist or a physician's assistant if you so desire! I can make alcohol, numbing agents, and a variety of other less...... traditional methods of curing common illness's! I can do whatever you need me to!" As he finished up he jumped down from his wagon and moved closer, once again, to the young doctor. "Miss. may I offer you some advice? If you want this town to respect you why not take me on as a nurse? They will then see that you are capable and wise. Not to mention they may come here and demand I see them, which is still money in your pocket!" He moved to the top step and bowed once again "I would be pleased to be you servant Madame!"
