Gabe was just....going to go back to his own potion now.

"Smiling suits you!" she said, turning back to look at her cauldron. "And thank you!" Again.

Okay... let's get on with the potion... what was next?

SPOILER!!: notes

Rusty started chopping up the lovage as her cauldron heated up. Chop chop chopity chop. It was like preparing things for food back home, super easy. She liked doing the chopping bit, but it was a little strange not having an adult keeping a very-close-eye on her. But she was being careful, so no fingers were lost. She also arranged the berries just next to her cauldron so she could pick them up and drop them in when she needed to.

........ After waiting a couple of minutes, Rowan's cauldron had FINALLY reached 100 degrees.... wait... no... 102. She prodded the fire with her wand again and it shrunk the tiiiiniest bit... until the temperature dropped to 100 degrees again... and stayed there. Then she added in the lovage.

1 elephant...

2 elephant...

3 elephant...

4 elephant...

5 elephant...

After five carefully counted ~~elephants~~ seconds, Rusty added the berries to the mixture, then ticked off steps three to six.

Next... fluxweed. Okay.. Rowan cleaned the knife she had used to chop the lovage, then very carefully cut the fluxweed leaves into three pieces. She almost added it all into the cauldron, but remembered to remove the non-leaf bits at the last second so they didn't go into the mixture. Okay. Tick for step seven.

Now for the stirring. Rusty grabbed her wooden stick, remembering to make sure it was properly clean, then placed it into the cauldron. Stir clockwise, anti-clockwise "one..." clockwise... anti-clockwise "two..." clockwise... anti-clockwise "three..." and so on, until she had done that seven times. That was fourteen stirs in total, and her potion was actually looking like it was supposed to!! Yay! She ticked off step seven with a flourish, and smiled widely at her potion. Look how well this was going! And she wasn't going to have to use aaaany animal bits. Well, not ones they still needed, anyway.
