Steps. There were SO many steps... and they were coming in dribs and drabs so he couldn't get a sense of how much BUSIER the process was going to get ahead of time. Sigh. But on the bright side, he thought he was doing pretty well. That was something, right? RIGHT?

After copying down the added instructions from the board, Zeke went to the front to collect his ten ice cubes and once the two minutes was up, added them to his cauldron. Now... CARROTS!!!........ He liked carrots, twas a shame they hadn't been instructed to eat any of it, it'd make for a good healthy snack for the in between.

Cleaning off his grater first, and giving the carrots a quick wash too, Zeke started grating away on the desired setting.

Grate... grate... grate.... grate.... grate...

The last little knobbly bits were the hardest, but he managed to get those nicely grated too.

Peering into his cauldron, Zeke assessed his ice situation, it needed a moment more he thought, since he could still see a few small pebbles of almost melted ice.

He didn't have to wait MUCH longer though, and once it was clear it was all melted, Zeke added the whole carrots first - ALL AT ONCE, and followed that up by sprinkling the rest over the top. He was actually kinda looking forward to trying his potion, just, maybe not looking forward to hating someone. Awkward.

There was one last step though, before he could sit tight and wait, and that was tying wormwood around knotgrass. A fun task if ever he heard one. It took his fingers some working, but in the end it wasn't a task that would get the better of him, even if it didn't look very pretty the way he did it, it was still done. And in that went too. Now to wait and see what happened next! EXCITING!
