Potions Hut - Grounds
Past the Commons lies a nondescript building, a necessity for a castle with no protective dungeons. The building is made of granite, just like nearly every other structure at Ilvermorny, but these stones seem darker. Inside, one finds tables lined up in neat rows, each one holding a cauldron on a stand. At the far end of the room, there are a row of cabinets holding potions equipment as well as ingredients that can’t be found elsewhere on the grounds, along with a wide sink for non-magical cleaning purposes. Just be careful not to add to the soot darkening the stone from previous cauldron explosions and other incidents. | |

Was it still considered stealing ingredients if he was using them for academia purposes? Surely the professor wouldn't mind, right?
Jordan Hicks was telling himself that everything was fine and that he wasn't going to get caught. He knew that the professor wasn't anywhere near the potions hut. Over the past few days, he observed her leave the hut around this time like clockwork. Today was no different. Now that the professor was nowhere in sight, the fifth year Thunderbird unlocked the hut door with his wand, snuck inside as quickly as he could, and closed the door behind him. He had roughly twenty minutes to get what he needed and get out.
Not wasting a single minute, he darted over to the far end of the room and flung open cabinets. Brown eyes glossed over the different coloured and shaped phials, and he quickly slipped one of the phials in his satchel before searching for another ingredient he needed. This would have been a lot easier had everything been organized better.

This would have been a lot easier had everything been organized better. This was... interesting. Takoda had gone to the potions hut for some extra study and brewing practice now that his JARVEYS were coming up, and there was Hicks, clearly doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing.
The sixteen year old was quiet, and he was sure the other boy likely wouldn't have noticed him at first, at least not as he approached the scene. But he simply leaned against the doorway and watched with arms crossed and his expression neutral. He didn't say anything yet. He'd simply wait here and watch until he noticed him.

But he simply leaned against the doorway and watched with arms crossed and his expression neutral. He didn't say anything yet. He'd simply wait here and watch until he noticed him. Slowly but surely a few more phials and other select ingredients had been slipped inside his satchel. Every now and then, Jordan periodically glanced down at his watch and then went back to his searching. The boy was so invested in getting what he needed, totally unaware that he was no longer alone. His previous stakeouts were consistent in the place being empty. He had time. He wasn't worried at all.
Everything he needed now inside the bag, his brown eyes darted at his watch once more. Time was on his side as there were seven minutes left to spare. Pleased with his work and the fact he hadn't been caught, he quickly closed the cabinets and turned toward the door.
The sight of the other Thunderbird leaning against the doorway made him freeze. "How ... how long have you been standing there, Takoda?"

Takoda was patient and silent as he watched his housemate raid the cabinets. He kept his expression purposely neutral as not to give away his thoughts on the scene unfolding, even as Jordan turned around and finally noticed him.
Inwardly, Takoda was amused to have clearly caught him red-handed, but he wondered vaguely how he might use this to his benefit. Shrugging nonchalantly, he answered with a knowing undertone, "Long enough. What exactly are you up to?" He was fairly sure he knew what he was up to, it seemed obvious, but he wanted to hear the answer for himself.

Shrugging nonchalantly, he answered with a knowing undertone, "Long enough. What exactly are you up to?" He was fairly sure he knew what he was up to, it seemed obvious, but he wanted to hear the answer for himself. This was not something he had planned for. Jordan was more than ready to make a quiet leave, but then Takoda of all people had to get in the way. Literally. He was so close to leaving the hut, yet his housemate was blocking the doorway. It was all very inconvenient, and time was ticking away.
The boy's response was, well, it wasn't one that Jordan wanted to hear. Long enough ... well, how long was 'long enough'? In the end, though, he didn't question it out loud. Enough had been seen. It was very obvious what Jordan Hicks was doing in the potions hut when no one else was around to watch him. His face really had said it all the moment he realized he wasn't alone.
"Just collecting some ingredients," he replied smoothly, not bothering to waste time lying about what he was up to while also keeping things vague enough. "Got a brew that I'm working on." Whether it was for potions class or his own interests, that nugget of information was something he was not going to share with just anyone.

"Just collecting some ingredients," he replied smoothly, not bothering to waste time lying about what he was up to while also keeping things vague enough. "Got a brew that I'm working on." Whether it was for potions class or his own enterprise, that nugget of information was something he was not going to share with just anyone. Whether it was apparent or not with his casual posture against the doorframe, Takoda's positioning was very much on purpose. He knew he was blocking the only exit, essentially forcing Jordan to face him. Whether he would keep this to himself or not still remained to be seen, and he wasn't giving his stance away so easily with expression or words. But this was rather amusing to the sixteen year old.
"A brew that you're working on....Interesting," he casually repeated his words back to him, the knowing undertone still present. "What kind of brew is it that you're in here during off hours while the professor is away?" Very curious indeed. And Takoda would very much like to know.

"What kind of brew is it that you're in here during off hours while the professor is away?" Very curious indeed. And Takoda would very much like to know. Takoda's casualness and these questions of his ... Jordan wasn't a fan. Why couldn't people at this school just mind their own business? He personally didn't bother getting involved in things that didn't concern him. Then again, he was more interested in his little experiments with potions and herbs to care what anyone else was doing.
A response didn't come out of his mouth right away this time. Instead, a glance was made at his watch. This really was cutting it close. For a moment, he considered just pushing his way past the slightly older boy. But that thought was quickly set aside. It was too risky. But just hanging out here until the professor showed up was also risky. He didn't know Takoda well enough to know if he was a squealer or not.
Defeated, Jordan sighed. "Elixir to Induce Euphoria. For a prank." His response was partially true.

Defeated, Jordan sighed. "Elixir to Induce Euphoria. For a prank." His response was partially true. Takoda noted Jordan's quick glance at his watch, though he didn't comment. He wasn't sure if he was really concerned about the time, which was the most likely reason since he seemed awfully worried about the professor returning, or if he was making a show to let Takoda know that he was wasting his time. And Takoda knew that he was. He just found it rather entertaining for the moment and he didn't have something pressing to do right then.
But his response had been rather underwhelming. A prank? The only change in Takoda's expression was the eyebrow raise as he continued to look at Jordan. "That's kind of lame. Certainly you can think of a better potion for a prank if you are going to go to the trouble and risk of stealing ingredients?"

Certainly you can think of a better potion for a prank if you are going to go to the trouble and risk of stealing ingredients?" At this point, Jordan could practically feel every tick and tock the watch made on his wrist with every second that went by. It was rather maddening, which only made him want to push his way past the boy even more. Precious time was being wasted. Not to mention he did not want to deal with Professor Sullivan later, which was the last thing anyone wanted.
"Ever thought that some alterations might be made to the potion to enhance certain side effects? Could be amusing," he responded flatly, not caring about what Takoda thought. If circumstances were different, the fifth year would have agreed with the boy; it was pretty stupid using that potion for a prank when there were better ones out there. Though he wouldn't be saying that for obvious reasons. What he really was going to use those ingredients in his satchel for was his business and his alone.
"Now, if you don't mind, I have places to be and a potion to brew..."
