Well, yes, Professor Varma did have a point that it was probably more satisfying to develop your own photo. But Evan had never really even tried picture taking. Cora took enough for the whole family, and if he was going to assist he usually did so by like... holding a reflector or switching a back drop for her. And even that was entirely rare. This might be interesting to write to her about though, if he decided to reach out at all.

He really was bad with his cousins, outside of Chase.

Once it was time to start brewing, he wiped his cauldron out to be on the safe side and ensure no residual... something from inside of it. And he turned his attention to measuring out the water and starting the fire beneath and watching it until a simmer had been established. It did not take too long, thankfully, and soon he was able to add his elf-made vinegar and began crushing his Dransul leaves. So far so good!

He took his eye dropper, once his leaves had become acid like, and added three drops. He raised his hand for a quick question, "Professor Varma? At what stage should we start to see a color change?" Just in case it came EARLY and he should be worried about an explosion or something equally as possible with potion brewing.
