Keep stirring. Eight more minutes then she could take it off the heat, but she still had to dice the bat tongue. Stopping stirring for just a moment, Sky took the time to carefully dice the one bat tongue at her workstation. It kind of looked like diced tomatoes...

Yawn.

Another clockwise stir. Or was it counter? Eh, did it make a difference which way she stirred a potion, like really? Deciding it didn't - for now - Sky just stirred her potion at least semi-consistently for the remainder of the four minutes she had left. She was almost done. Maybe.

SPOILER!!: notes

Kye had gone back to sit down and noticed another First Year who was working alone. Darn it! She could have teamed up with her if she had been paying any attention! She had become consumed by her potion... Kye watched on, would the girl get it right? Kye's hadn't been too terrible, but she was curious if she did better or worse than this girl.
