Or at least it would smell a little better.
“Yeah of course, cleaning sounds like a good idea” she nodded as she looked at the clock and they had five minutes left. She carefully began to clean the jars out and made sure to get rid of the remaining volatile ingredients. There was only a drop of the puss left – so that got cleaned out first. Then she glanced at the clock – five minutes had passed since Beezus had begun cleaning…they still had a minute left.
“One minute” she glanced up as she finished putting the jars away and cleaned the stirrer – heck, she even put out a jar to bottle the potion. And then glanced at the clock. 10, 9…8…she blanked out for a moment, 5…4…3…2…1.
“Time, its ready” she beamed. The potion was ready to be tested. “So, how do you want to test this – cause, I don’t suggest drinking it…with the dung and all” she added as an observation. Since she didn’t want someone to get sick or something. That would be bad.
Five minutes, yep. Mika was counting down too while they cleaned the materials they've utilized. Four minutes, three...two.....and then Mika was announcing that the potion was ready. Woot!
Beezus quickly extinguished the fire the provided the caudron's low boil, moved the jar that the younger girl had prepared for their potion and grabbed the ladle. Before bottling the brew, however, she decided to answer Mika's questions first. "
Of course it won't be drunk. " She chuckled and shook her head. That potion had dung. Surely, no one would want to drink a dung filled potion even if it had exquisite healing properties, right? That was just ew. "
This concoction will be smelled....for a whole minute." So instead of drinker, they can go by with smeller. Hah. And...."
For the testing part, I can be the guinea pig and maybe...cut myself? Just a little bit? And we'll see if it works. If not, I have some dittany here," She nodded towards her pocket. "
..and you can help me apply it on if worse comes to worst." She hoped not though. She badly wanted this potion to be a success and she didn't want to suffer for a while with a cut she'd be making on herself.
Oh well...
"
I'll transfer it now." And with that, she pulled off the lid and there came that minty scent again. The simmer had caused the potion to be a bubbly hue of pink now. Beezus began to ladle the contents of the cauldron into the jar and once that was done, she turned to Mika once more. "
Well...we have our potion here." MEEP! *mental!flail* SQUEEEEE. They've done it.................
almost.
"
Time for testing." She took out her own tiny bottle of dittany from her robes and handed it out to the younger girl. She'd know what to do. Then, Beezus held the potion up to her nose and breathed in.
INHALE. BREATHE IN. INHALE. For a whole minute.
Mhmm. She felt tingly. The good kind of tingly.
Her dark brown eyes strained on the floor for a moment before she unholstered her wand. This won't hurt much, right? They've tried cutting themselves before back in Ancient Runes. Certainly this would only be close to an ant's bite. Riiiiiiight? Yeah, she didn't know.
"
Here goes nothing." Using her wand, she rended a small cut on her palm. Red blood oozed from the spot and Beezus bit her lip as she winced and hissed at the pain it caused.
Was the potion not working? Crap. It was actually starting to hurt more the longer she let it sit. And she was just about to tell Mika to apply the dittany when she noticed the cut slowly caving in and then..........it didn't hurt.
.............
.................................
....................
..."
It.......worked." There was still blood on her palm but the cut and the pain that came with it was.....gone.
