(there are seconds before she responds. had anyone else come into her shop with such a request, wanting to find something for their professor, vanessa would have simply helped them. here she finds herself stuck on questioning his motives when it could be that same, simple request. he likely doesn't know that she's a mutant.
so she takes a breath, moving around her own counter but not over to his display, walking across her shop )
Energy.
( she crouches when she gets there, pulling out a larger tray of crystals that she lays on the top of the counter )
Each has different properties, different meanings in what they can provide.
( on the tray are crystals in their simpler form, the simple stone. there are some clusters, some tumblestones, some that have been fashioned into more decorative items -- almost like a paperweight )
( His tone dips without his meaning to. There's something about this shop that rubs him the wrong way, makes him want to sit her down and explain just how silly it all is. It's rude of him, he knows it. So he bites his tongue against it and looks over the stones. )

Healing and the like?
( Maybe he should have had a drink first. )
They're very -- pretty.

( he didn't need to believe, not when the item wasn't for him, but scoffing at her work, beliefs-- well, he wouldn't end up with anything )
Whether or not you believe doesn't matter. This is for your Professor after all.
( she's absolutely not calling him out on that. maybe a tiny bit )
