Beauden's eyes lit up as Professor Adara listed the ingredients. Draught of Peace—of course! How could he have forgotten that one? He nodded along, mentally noting that his tasting idea had been dismisssed. The ingredients, he had to admit, were easier to identify now that they had been named. Despite the simplicity of the ingredients, he now remembered that this particular brew was tricky—too tricky for a Monday morning, he thought. But he wasn't one to back down from a challenge, so he would be giving his all... even if it resulted in deep sleep.
After a casual wink to Rose and a few others in the lab, he filled his cauldron with water, setting it to medium heat, and glanced at the powdered moonstone. The process was straightforward enough so far. He was by no means a perfectionist, but he was very intentional about adding exactly 3.5g of moonstone. He half-expected something to go wrong as he watched the potion intently, but it turned the intended shade of green to his relief.
"So far, so good," he mumbled with a satisfied grin. He stirred twice, causing the liquid to shift to blue. Beauden exhaled, almost surprised that he hadn't messed it up already.
He added the next batch of moonstone, watching as it gradually transitioned to purple. His mind briefly wandered—what would happen if he added more moonstone? His fingers itched to add a pinch more of moonstone than the instructions called for, but he resisted such impulsive thoughts and waited for the potion to go... pink? Or was it meant to be red?
