One bezoar. Xylon was right, that ought to be more than enough. Gold's passion for healing had ensured that she had seen a bezoar at work, more than once, and it had always surprised her how much just one bezoar could do. Which was why she nodded, now.

"It will," she said. It wasn't a guess, but a definite answer, and you could tell that by the tone of her voice.

Speaking of crushed bezoars! Gold had just remember something. She looked up from her notebook, at Xylon. "The Valerian," she said. "I think we could put it in, whole. If we crush it before we put it into the cauldron, we could lose bits. It might not work as well. We'll put in the caudron, and let it disintegrate. Does that sound alright?"

The point was obviously open to discussion.

Oh, and he had brought up a very interesting point. "Lemon juice won't be the only thing that contains citric acid, in this potion," she reminded him. "We have orange juice as an ingredient, too." Which was actually a bit of a problem, because the combined effect might not be good. "I think we need a new ingredient, Xylon. Something to neutralize the acidity of the potion." She was quiet for a moment, in thought.

She had it!

"Milk of Magnesia," Gold said, decisively. "It will be available here, and it will serve as an excellent neutralizer."

She looked down at the list, once more. "Well, we still have Salamander blood and Fluxweed, left. Four tablespoons of the former, and fourteen leaves of the latter, given the kind of changes this potion could require, sound fine to me. You?"

He had thought of four but now, as he glanced at the cat (kneazle?) he realized that that might be a little too much. They didn't want the cat to get sicker. But six cups of orange juice sounded less than he had expected. "Eight?" He suggested as a change. "The kitty's going to need his energy. He doesn't look very well." He glanced down at the list again. "One crushed bezoar will do, no?" He asked. "I think it would be more than enough to cancel out the effects of any and all poisons there should be inside the kitty's tummy." Of course if there weren't, the bezoar would still do a good job. Kill germs. Something of that sort. Xylon gave a little shrug as he thought of this. "Six tablespoons of lemon juice?" He suggested with ease. "It has citric acid, we don't want too put in too much of that. I'm not sure if the cat will be able to handle it. We'll have to crush the mint too. I think half an ounce will be more than enough."
