Potion time: at Varian's house, late November
That's a nice tower.
She wants to steal that tower.
With a wry smile, she knocks on the door ]
no subject
Hey! Glad you could make it. Come on in.
[He awkwardly shuffles his way in.]
You ready to learn something cool?
no subject
[ Eda follows after him, looking around at the house ] How's the leg?
no subject
[That's how he lost the leg in the first place, after all. He shrugs, as he nudges open the big door to his lab- starting the slow and slightly awkward descent downstairs to his alchemy lab.]
Still non-existent. Not expecting it back any time. But the new one I'm making is coming along nicely.
no subject
[ She trails behind him with a little frown. ]
How long's that gonna take? You we can take Owlbert down these stairs.
no subject
[SPEAKING OF.]
I'll be fine. Don't worry. I gotta get used to doing it on my own.
[So he'll continue sloooooowly going down the stone steps to his lab. Once they get down there, it's pretty active- though it's clear it's not been used for a while. Varian hobbles over to one of the workbenches, where some beakers were waiting.]
And here's where the not-literal magic happens.
no subject
See, in my world, potions are magic. I was a potions major. On paper.
no subject
Eh, I guess so. In some worlds. Not mine. But hey, if you're good at potions, then this should be a breeze for you.
[What he can do borders so close to magic it might as well be that, but he'd rather eat his remaining leg than say that out loud. He picks up a little flacon of elixir, beaming, clearly pleased with this. He's in his element and this makes him genuinely happy. ]
Anyway. I did some testing to break down your elixir into its basic chemical makeup! It's a little like a jigsaw. Once you know what the pieces are, all you need to do is fit them together.
no subject
Hm, alright. I just care that it keeps me from getting feathery.
no subject
[He excitedly starts babbling about the chemical components that make of her elixir- lots of 'odiums' and 'iodes' and the like. His tones suggests this is easy but it's... probably not. Varian often forgets what's simple alchemy to him is incomprehensible nonsense to most other people. ]
Anyway. I wrote a list of the flora around here where you can extract what you need- also a couple of chemical compounds that are relatively easy to get hold of.
no subject
She was a nerd once, but never this kind of nerd. She likes the more practical magic. She likes learning things so she can use it.
She tunes back in when he stops talking and blinks at him. ] Uh... huh? Extract-a-what?
no subject
Did you get anything of what I just said?
no subject
no subject
[It's SUPER important, Eda, wow!! With a little huff, he hands her a parchment. It has a lot of chemical names on it.]
I wrote it down too. Anyway. I can go step by step, but now I'm concerned about how much I need to hold back on the big words for you.
no subject
no subject
[He's just giving her the biggest disappointed face ever.]
Why would there be? When that's what they are? It's like saying there's an easier word for cat.
[It's not. ]
no subject
no subject
[Varian, no. He starts gathering a few vials, happily chattering away to her as he adds various chemicals into the mix- some at least do come from plants- he has a little potting shed for just such ingredients. It's long and complicated, but he does it with such enthusiasm. ]
Anyway! Once you boil down the ragwort and add it to the rest of the mixture, you need to leave it at 98 degrees for an hour - then you need to bring the temperature down gradually. You'll notice the colour change to the yellow- then you'll know it's done.
[LEARNING IS FUN!!???!!]
no subject
Yes. Yes it is.
She listens, more raptly this time, to his instructions, and grimaces. ] A whole hour? Ugh. Okay. I can do that. Maybe I should just have had you do it
no subject
[The real question here is does he actually want the answer.]
Well, yes. It's a complicated mixture. It takes patience and time.
no subject
Ugh, fine. I'll learn it. You got any back up for me while I figure it out? Wouldn't want to bite ya.
no subject
[Look! He's starting to speak Eda!]
Yes, I've made sure to create a few more just in case. You never can tell with Deerington. It might just make you turn on a whim. Sodder can get like that sometimes.
