At his question, the blonde Unspeakable shook her head "Nah, unfortunately not. Just incredibly in tune to the messages from the universe" She explained half jokingly "But I'm more really more inclined towards potions making." She wasn't going into the whole detail of how the only position available when she applied was the one at the Hall of Prophecies.

At the sight of the bottle he was holding, Catherina crinkled her nose. She couldn't see if the bottle had a label, but its contents looked nasty enough as it was. "Is that....pus?" She guessed, her face contorting into a grimace.

Maybe she should do some more love divining on their behalf? In secret of course or they’d get testy with her. The proud mother glow was probably radiating out her as she beamed broadly. "I’m glad to be back too. The triplets are growing and healthy. Aaron is good, he is starting back on level 7 too today, and our christmas was good, but trying to get three toddlers to sleep at the same time is a challenge." Laurel was still a bit sleep deprived, but hopefully it would get better eventually. She let her gaze wander past Adam to the potions shelves and barrels while she listened curiously to Catherina’s answer. It was a pity that she wasn’t a seer.

"Well you’re welcome to divine the messages of the universe with me anytime you want Catherina." Laurel offered with a kind smile before she gave the barrel Adam was standing in front of a curious glance. Knowing him it was probably best to heed his advice. Moving several steps backwards and few extra too, just for safety. The substance looked awful for lack of better word. "Why do you need to open that Adam?"

At the mention of Laurel's children, Catherina's eyes widened. "Triplets?!" She chimed in, half in astonishment and half in alarm "Wow." She breathed out "That must be something" Serena was terrible to deal with a toddler, constantly putting things in her mouth and all that. She couldn't imagine tripling that chaos!

” I vas zinkingk uff mayhap asking her to move in,” he admitted to Laurel. He hadn’t actually voiced the idea aloud to anyone and although he wasn’t sure why he had confided the information to Laurel, having said it aloud felt good. He had no idea if Zita would say yes, but well, he liked having her around.

”Triplets?” He hadn’t known she was having more than one baby. He himself was a triplet and he was also the only one that had made it past 3 years old. His hand rubbed his shoulder like it did whenever he thought of his siblings, fingers working the stiff scar tissue there, although it had long ago stopped hurting. He hoped that didn’t happen to Laurel, and no, he was not going to bring up his own sad history with her. He might like the woman, but there were some things he didn’t share. ” Undt vhat are zeir names?” Had his sight been normal, he would have asked to see photos.

”Ja, Bubotuber pus.” Before Adam had met Laurel, he had not really put too much stock in divination, but Laurel had been a bit too insightful on things one to many times for him to not heed her. That being said, Catherina was more than welcome to ‘divine the messages of the universe’ with Laurel any time so he didn’t have too. Nope, he was perfectly happy with being her coffee delivery service and well, helping her out when she needed it. After all, she was always willing to help him out too. Except, it seemed with doing potion ingredient inventory; it had not escaped Adam’s notice that both lady’s voices were a bit further away (Laurel’s especially). ”To check how much is in it.” He answered Laurel’s question. He wasn’t sure how they conducted inventory with the orbs, but well, he sorta needed to know how much of each potion ingredient was in the lager. Besides if he finished this up, he could accompany Laurel to Airey's office for her broken orbs and he could turn in his inventory list and discuss why there were so many missing potion ingredients (and yes, he forgot that his translation quill had not been cooperating during inventory and the list needed to be re-written.) ” Vill take only one moment.” He cracked the seal on the barrel, not bothering with dragon hide gloves as this was a barrel of treated. A woof of petrol wafted through the room as he gave the barrel a little shake as he leaned over it.
