Isla just nodded at the decline of her offer to help. It was often that she walked around throwing out offers of help, but she'd at least tried, so there was that. The lesson was starting anyway, so Isla geared her line of thinking toward potions ingredients that might soothe and relax. Was this any different than a Calming Draught or the Draught of Peace?

Thinking of those two potions got her to thinking about the ingredients that went in them. Somebody else suggested valerian roots, which was exactly what she was thinking, too. Raising her hand, she said, "I'm going to agree with valerian roots. They have sedative properties and are even used in potions like the Draught of Peace." So the other student had said valerian sprigs, but she was sure they were all one and the same.
