"Hey Katy....what do we do after the water?" he asked.

Katy was staring a little too hard at her flame when she heard a question from nearby. With a little guilty jump, she glanced over at Jonas and flashed a little smile. "Just do what I do, okay? I'm dead good at Potions."

She ought to be, considering her bloodline and all.

Katy dropped one, two ginkgo seeds into her freshly cleaned mortar and dashed a little of the hot water from her cauldron on top of them. "They soak for ten minutes, so maybe set your timer, if you have one." She happened to have a tiny hourglass, which she flipped over. Precision was their watchword, yup.

"And then we light our candle so we can stare at it." The weird hippie stuff, but she'd try it if it made the professor happy. Katy wasn't one for much pandering to make others happy, but even she understood that professors weren't exactly normal people. They were weird, special creatures who needed petting in all things.

But no staring at the candle yet. Instead, Katy laid her ginkgo leaves flat and carefully sliced them into tiny strips. The more surface area, the better, right? Each leaf was cut into tiny strips until all five were a pile of green toothpicks, and then the whole batch went into the cauldron. Just in time, too, because her timer was juuuuust... abooooout... up. Katy grabbed up her mortar and dug in the pestle to grind the seeds into ginkgo oatmeal.

"And then that goes into the water too, okay?"
