Finishing the grating of the root, Kurumi passed the paste over to Selina to mix when she was ready for it. Hopefully Selina wouldn't crush the mixing bowl this time...sometimes the red head really didn't know her own strength and Kurumi was pretty sure that bits of porcelain were not going to be a very good addition to this potion.

Keeping an eye on Selina out of the corner of her eyes, Kurumi set to working on the mushrooms. Picking up one in her hand just a little too firmly than she had intended. Oops. The mushroom began to bubble and expand in her hand to the point where it looked as though it were about to burst as the red color of the cap intensified and swelled to the size of a tennis ball. Squeaking loudly, Kurumi removed her wand from its holster and promptly pointed it at the about-to-explode mushroom. "Glacius!" Just in time too.

Slouching into her chair, Kurumi repeated the spell on the remaining mushrooms and then carefully twisted the caps off and set them to the side. After cleaning her silver knife, Kurumi began to slice up the mushrooms stalks thinly 5 vertical strips each. Setting those to the side as well, Kurumi turned her attention to Selina when she asked about the color.

"Um...that looks good," she nodded. Truth be told she didn't know what color it was supposed to be NOW...only once it had been in the cauldron along with several other ingredients. Then it was supposed to be purple. So she flashed her best friend a confident smile - or one that somewhat resembled confidence because, ahem, Kurumi wasn't entirely sure. Ahem.

Reaching for the brugmansia next, Kurumi grabbed a silver spoon and scooped one spoonful of the paste and stuffed the flower with it, making sure that the paste was all the way at the bottom of the flower. Kurumi then set it on the table and rolled the flower upwards and used one of the mushroom stalk strips to tie it closed. Just one wouldn't be enough to hold it together, so Kurumi reached for another few and tied several firm knots around the rolled flower. There. That looked good. Kurumi set that one to the side and began the process over again with her second flower.

"Once you finish rolling and stuffing your flowers we need to add them to the cauldron," Kurumi nodded as she finished up stuffed flower number two. "Once they dissolve the liquid should be a purple color." Which would be Kurumi's signal to add the mushroom caps.
