Ezra was beginning to wish he'd not brought a frog to class. Lady Frog was licking off the honey off the glass walls of the jar she was kept in, and yet all Ezra could think about the fact that it would be Lady Frog's last meal.
It was slightly depressing and it made him feel awful, so he was thankful when Lafay gave them a new task.
Sort of.
"Uh." Personified eloquence. He shot Edita a sideways look. A whisper: "That's nice." He didn't think it likely that she was right, though he was pretty sure as a friend he was meant to be supportive. He was also pretty sure friends were supposed to be always honest but decided not to think about that.
He had a fairly good idea what could be done with peppermint leafs and honey, but wasn't particularly sure about the rest. He searched for his textbook in his bag, thankful, for having chosen against leaving it back in the dorm. Because his lack of eloquence wasn't something he wanted to deal with again in the same class, he jotted down some notes and then read them for Professor Lafay:
SPOILER!!: Ezra's notes Peppermint leafs: Ingredient in Elixir to Induce Euphoria. Also used to sweeten concoctions, and to create peppermint oil, which is inhaled as a painkiller.
Cat hair: Cats are agile and flexible so adding one single hair to a concoction increases the drinker's agility, reflexes and flexibility. It's pretty much considered cheating in some sports, though, and it shouldn't be added to potions that help change someone's appearance, not unless what you want is a recipe for disaster.
Frog: Used for a Frog Parts Mixture, though the brain is reserved for other type of potions. Their skin secretes something that is used in healing potions that help fix human organs. In some countries, though, a very specific kind of frog and their toxic qualities are used to create poisons.
Honey: Energy booster, cleans wounds and makes them heal faster, and people with sore throats should drink it because it helps them feel better. It's also used as an ingredient for belch powder.
