Ethan figured he had waited long enough.. the mixture seemed cooled off enough to him. He got up from his stool to retrieve a strainer and a spray bottle, and as he did, he caught a glimpse of Minerva as she gave him a smile before leaving class. The boy returned a tentative smile to her retreating figure and watched for a moment as she walked away.
Pushing any lingering thoughts out of his mind, Ethan turned back to his finished minsecticide. Using the strainer, he poured the liquid into the bottle and screwed on the nozzle. He took a moment to finish cleaning up his work area and put the last of the equipment away. As he was part of the task force, the boy held onto the bottle and left the greenhouse as class was dismissed.
