Still smoking! But the bubbling settled down, so there was that.
"Well the direction effects how you want the potion to change. If you do clockwise, it helps encourage a positive sort of change, if you alternate its good for physical transformations, and counter-clockwise stirring sometimes encourages a 'negative' change, but also helps with brewing any 'undoing' potions, like antidotes or potions that are used mostly to fix or negate symptoms or effects that the intended taker is presenting."
Hmmm. With that thought in mind, West changed the direction he was stirring it in, anti-clockwise for a bit, then he stopped stirring, pulling the stick out.
"We're done. One of us has to drink it." Paaaause, "The other has to be able to save the drinkers life if something happens." West eyed Theo. Pretty sure he was WAY more capable of lifesaving than Theodore.
Ooooh, okay, information overload.
He nodded, "
Awesome. I'll remember that." He probably wouldn't.
Theo eyed him right back. "
Don't look at me, what if I die?" He peered over at the cauldron, then looked back at West with a hard SIGH. But could he really revive West if he died? All Theo could manage would be sending a jet of water in his face. "
Fine, but only a bit, and you owe me." He sighed again and grabbed one of those scooper spoon things, and a cup in the other hand.
He tipped a tiny bit of the potion into his cup and eyed it curiously. Ew, ew, ewwwwww. "
I dunno if I can..."
JUST DO IT.
"
Okay." Theo took a small sip, but let it sit in his mouth for a few moments. It tasted gross, which made him eventually swallow. Nothing happened, apart from a funny feeling on the end of his chin. Maybe it was HEALING that zit that he had on there for a few days now. Theo touched it, but it was still there. Darn it. "
Well? Did anything happen?"
Unbeknown to Theo, his zit turned bright green.
