OI! Where was the magic glowing that was meant to happen any minute now? Did this plant not understand her lack of intention to be here more than an hour? An hour that was already trickling down mind you. She might have done more chanting but the vial was now sufficiently empty. Sweet Circe.

Or wait...

Lex looked to the board again...the plant wasn't meant to glow too?? Just the runes? Oh. Whoops. She knew that, ahem. The runes had already been glowing, there was no worry about that which meant she was in fact on the right path and just needed to wait for the spots to start vanishing now. Another glance at her watch told her it had maybe 45 minutes more, then she'd be walking out whether the plant was better or not.

That was life.
