And there was the delayed hi to which she responded with an almost loud, "HAI." She did a mental run over of everything he'd said before casting her gaze on the ingredients before her. "I've got ginger roots, chicken feathers, black pepper and water--oh I have parchment too but that was for a different reason and I won't be needing it anymore." Really it wasn't worth mentioning but it would have been rude to introduce everything but it. It might have felt excluded.
"So now we get started on not making things blow up." SIGH. "First things first. What are we making?" She looked over her ingredients and Mo's. "I don't think I know of a potion that has this combination. Any ideas?"
Always ask the Ravenclaw; it was like a rule, didn't you know that???
What
were they making? Hmm. Mo carefully lined up all eight ingredients in a row and perused them thoughtfully. Ginger was excellent for wit-sharpening, and the cockroaches were good for stamina and hardiness. The water was an excellent base, obviously, and it was clever of Lex to think of that. The Abraxan hair was useful in some girding and strengthening potions... but chicken feathers? He wasn't sure on that one, but he had some ideas.
"Are you willing to go with a gut feeling? Because if so, you go ahead and clean out the cauldron, and I'll start chopping the ginger and the dandelion roots." He picked up his potions knife and gave it a quick, "
Scourgify."
