Xana grinned inwardly. What was that, this year's topic of choice? It'd be interesting to compare and contrast the effects of each person's attempt though... "Interesting. Do let me know how it goes... Have you by chance read Ambroise Paré's dissertations on bezoar studies, or the Persian writings on universal antidotes using trichobezoars?" she gently asked... the girl was young and she didn't want to discourage her, but it sounded as though this girl's experiment had already been attempted to no avail, sadly. But maybe she had a different spin on it.

"If it's not intrusive... how was he poisoning you, I mean- you say it tasted bad, how was it that you kept ingesting it?"

"I think I'll be making the Draft of the Living Dead. I haven't made it before, but I think I'll manage..." he trailed off as he began chopping up roots to place in his cauldron. "What about you?" he asked, staring at her obviously complex apparatus.
"Well, the alembic and entrefleuge are being used to do distillations, not potions- I'm just preparing some specialized ingredients to prepare for a later potion I'm going to work on. And the cauldron, I'll be creating some chemical bezoars- also in preparation for another potion. So, today is just a day for laying groundwork, really." she grinned. "I remember Draught of the Living Death... that's such a fun one to create! I like potions that have evident colour shifts in their stages; it's very satisfying to see the proof of your success at each stage. Is potions your forte, James?"
