Austin's concerns for his partner were put to the side when the dragon egg timer dinged. Scarlett was important, but finishing this potion was more important. Finishing the potion meant she could get better. This was about priorities. So he took a deep breath when he knew she was okay, and turned back to his cauldron.

"First things first..." He mumbled. "Unicorn horn." He added the pinch, making sure it didn't stick to his fingers or anything. If there was one thing he learned, it was that you needed to use all of the ingredients. Then he took one of his stirrer sticks, cleaned it off, and stirred clockwise. "One... two..." It was strange how quickly his anxieties faded away when he was behind his cauldron. Making something, following instructions, it was soothing for him.

One he finished stirring, he added the mistletoe berries, making sure not to splash any of his potion. That was another tip he learned in his previous years. Nine times out of ten, potions don't like it when you splash them around. So he added them gently. Once that was done, he cleaned off his stirrer again, and stirred twice: "One... Two..." counter clockwise.

The only thing left to do was wait. Austin turned his timer to two minutes, and glanced over to Scarlett, hoping she was alright.
