"Okay so now we've got it narrowed down to either the curcubita or the retorta. Kurumi, since ours is made of copper, do we need to add that symbol to the alchemical symbol too." Alyssa asked Kurumi, since she seemed to know a lot of smart stuff.

Kurumi shook her head, not that Alyssa was completely off, but she just wanted to clarify a few things. "It's not the receiving end, I don't believe," she said, pointing to the device on their table again. Vickers was the expert on this and she was wishing more and more that she had taken notes. "This part starts the process of distillation. The receiving end would technically be here," she said, pointing to the bit of copper tubing sticking out at the end. "You would need another cup or something to collect the distilled solution that came out though." Then again, this was assuming that she was right and making sense of all this. Besides the item at her table, Kurumi really did not have much confidence in all this - especially with all the Latin.

When Alyssa mentioned...two other words...whatever those were, Kurumi sort of just stared blankly at her. Yeah, didn't have any of this stuff memorized and squinting at the symbols on the pieces of parchment was starting to hurt her eyes - no offense Professor Schirmer. "Um...well...these aren't always made from copper," she said with a small shrug. "So I really don't know the answer to that. We were wondering the same thing." So, her guess was as good as Kurumi's. She didn't speak Alchemy.

Glancing back at Louisa and Vickers again, perhaps for some sort of conformation or what have you, Kurumi shrugged her shoulders again nervously as a small smile tugged on her lips. Kurumi liked puzzles, and this is sort of what this activity was turning out to be.

She could do without the Latin though.
