Does this shop sell these "special" potions?

Of course, they have everything!

The shopkeeper's eyes go wide behind his thick spectacles as he realizes exactly what the two of you are asking for. With a shaky hand he fumbles around at his desk, looking for something among all the scattered paperwork. Eventually he finds a small brass key under a tall pile of loose papers, holding it up to the two of you with delight on his face. "Follow me," he half-mumbles as he shuffles towards the back of the shop.

Catrya gives you a sly smirk before following behind you, putting her hand at the small of your back to guide you forward first. You follow close behind the shopkeeper, helping him gently move a large rack of empty vials out of the way to clear the way to reach a small wooden chest secured with a padlock. After a moment of fumbling with the key, the chest is soon opened. Inside are three vials, one of which is plugged with a rubber stopper. He gingerly grasps the rim of the stopped vial with two fingers, pulling it out of its holder with an intense level of care that seems excessive to you. Once it's completely clear, he holds it out to you.

You immediately grab the vial and hold it up to the light. The vial is full nearly all the way up to the stopper with a thick crimson liquid. You shake the vial gently, stirring the potion slightly and letting flecks of silver confetti sparkle as it swirls around. Behind the vial, you can see the shopkeeper's eyes light up to the possibility of selling you this extremely valuable of wares.

Do you want to buy this special potion?
