Either that or the Professor felt the students had a firm sense of self denial and wouldn't be giving into their curiosity. Let's just say it was best to stow such beliefs in future. Derf's appearance and subsequent adding of fuel to her curiosity fire was reason enough.

Forgetting she'd even asked the Professor a question, Jessa turned eagerly to her friend, waiting to see what would come of his sniffing. The girl was mildly taken aback when the vial was suddenly placed under her nose but no less willing to have a sniff than her friend had been.

"I dunno. The chemicals in here always mess with my nose a little. I might be smelling this but I could just as easily be smelling the other one down on the table." Whiiiiiiiiiich pretty much only left one of VERY FEW things to be done. "Taste it. Tell me what it feels like going down your throat and I might be able to figure something out." Perfectly logical.

"We'll both have a taste." She nudged the vial back to him for him to have first go--not because she was skeptical or unwilling to take the risk herself (that was never the case, the girl would sooner test on herself than others if she could) but because with him there was never a worry of who went first. Both were equally curious, dangerously so, making it less urgent who decided to have a taste first. Most other times people were too scared to go first, forcing her to give demonstration herself but not him. They were on par with testing things.

So apparently Jessa DID have the nose of a crup...because he really couldn't smell much of anything right now. Although he HAD smelled his wand while he was getting that situated...but the real test had come when he had given it a bit of a like to see if the type of wood tasted good on his tongue. He had watched his little sister get acquainted with LOADS of things by using her mouth and mum had told him that that was just what babies did when they were experimenting AND, by potioneer standards, he and Jessa were totally babies. So what Jessa suggested made total sense.

"OKAY!" he chirped with a nod, although he did return the one containing the clear liquid to the stand and instead grabbed the one with the white sandy stuff in it. "Gonna try this-s-s one first," he nodded. It sort of looked like sugar and that tasted good. Although he was struck with a thought. "You think this-s-s is ground up somefing? OH LIKE...thes-s-se are both SUPER important and RARE ingredients-s-s?!" he asked as he uncorked that one and set the cork on the counter top. So rare that the professor had to provide them with them rather than them grinding stuff up or extracting themselves?! Because NEAT!

Glancing back up at Jessa, he caught Elora and Abey looking and waving at him when he looked past Jessa's head (she only had one today, for the record) and returned an eager wave to them both before blue eyes were back on the vial in his hand. Licking his thumb first, Derf covered the lid with his thumb's pad and tipped it upside down. Shaking it up and down a few times to make sure he had achieved a thin coating of...whatever this white dusty stuff was...he turned it right side up and returned it to the stand.

THUMBS UP FOR EXPERIMENTAL TASTE TESTING!

Giving his thumb a lick, he smacked his lips together loudly while trying to spread ...whatever it was all across his tongue.

HMMMMMMMMM....

"I dunno," he confessed with a light shoulder shrug.
