Maeve Lin

What she muttered under her breath succeeded on coaxing a small chuckle out of him. “Sounds fake? What exactly does that mean?” He asked, though he found it funny anyway.  He was having fun, really, because he cared about things like studying and details and even potions, when nearly everyone grumbled about this subject. If he’s able to help her pass, he’d be really happy.  “Step one, is to put three measures of the fluxweed into the cauldron, next is two bundles of knotgrass, and then you just stir four times, clockwise.” As he said this, he poured water over the cauldron and cast a spell to create a small blue flame underneath. While he worked, he asked her, “Could you measure the fluxweed?”

This was like brain surgery to Maeve. Three measures? Measures of what? Cups? Teaspoons? Handfulls? Potions was like a complete different language. She was probably doing better in Latin than she was here.

Regardless, she did as he told, assuming what was a measure and dividing it up. Honestly, it felt more like she was dealing drugs than preparing a potion. Well... Maybe she kind of was. 

“Does that look right?”

Poppy grinned. “Oh! Really? I absolutely love Italian food! Where are you gonna order from?” She was absolutely thrilled to be keeping this conversation alive. She didn’t know Maeve particularly well at all, but what a wonderful time to start, right?

“Actually, I was just thinking of using the travel agency and heading into the North End in person. You know... For the environment and all.” 

Maeve was really trying to converse. She wasn’t great at formality and niceties... And yet as much as she would have been fine if that were the end of it, she knew what she was supposed to say. It wasn’t something she was used to, but if she didn’t push herself to at least ask, she was going to feel like a jerk later. 

“Did you... want to come?”

It was like bad karma, every time something went wrong for him there was always someone there to witness. However, it was always worse when it was a student and his annoyance quickly turned into embarrassment. ❝Yes? Is there something you need Miss Lin?❞ He questioned continuing to wipe the mess from his hands as he turned to face her. ❝Excuse the mess, there was a little mishap.❞ He offered with a slight chuckle in attempts to brighten his own mood. 

Maeve could tell the situation was a little embarrassing. She cautiously stepped into the room, just in case the mess had any chance to get worse, and gave him an apologetic look for the fact she had walked in on this.

“It’s all right... I, uh, was just wondering if I could talk to you about that report I owe you...”

Though Poppy was hardly what anyone would consider ‘punk’, but she had always found the whole thing to be a guilty pleasure. And Maeve’s outfit was absolutely adorable. 

Poppy looked down at her feet. They were adorned with some simple gold sandals that she had owned forever, but they were super comfy. More importantly, she noticed the other girl’s tiny smile. She couldn’t remember seeing Maeve smile very often. Hesitant to let the conversation die, she continued, “So, where are you heading to?”

Maeve really hadn’t expected that to move completely into conversation, but it seemed to be heading that way and Maeve didn’t want to be rude, even though she didn’t really know anything about the girl or what they could possibly talk about.

“Um... I was just thinking of heading home to find some good Italian.”

Complete immersion, explained Jae’s state exactly any time he was engrossed in his potions kit. Quite often the man liked to tinker and experiment in attempts to create an entirely new concoction. All was well in creative land until the liquid in the bottle began to change from a light lavender to a deep shade of crimson.❝Well, that’s not right.❞ The crab grumbled as he quickly added a sprinkle of crushed moonstone to the mix, in hopes of balancing it back out. For a moment that seemed to appease the bubbling liquid, a soft white glow swirling near the beakers bottom. A short lived victory as the potion shifted even darker, a steady stream of black slowly consuming any pigment of color. It was then that a small explosion occurred; not enough to cause any actual damage. But enough to send a sooty cloud up into his face.  ❝Jenjang!!❞ Jae exclaimed in agitation as he wiped the excess soot off of his face. 

Maeve really needed an extended deadline in this project. She was not meshing well with all of this Potions knowledge and she really needed to pass this class. She hoped, as she walked toward Professor Kang’s office, that he might grant her some mercy. But before she could finish piecing together how she could convince him to give her some extra time, she heard a small explosion from one of the labs and took a few steps back to peek into the room.

“... Professor Kang?”

“It’s been great to be a part of a show which is groundbreaking in terms of being an American woman and being Asian on television because there’s people who don’t see a lot of that and I’m really proud of it.”

“It’s the powdered horn of a bicorn, they shed their horns every year and witches collect them without them looking,” he explained, thoughtfully, remembering what read somewhere about bicorns. “I reckon it’s supposed to represent the idea of duality.”  He picked up one of the flies and held it up to her. “Lacewing flies,” he spread open the wings to show her, “They have large transparent wings that look like, well, lace.” He set it down, and placed them next to the ones that have been stewed for 21 days.  Isaiah cared deeply about all of this, as he found a fascination for studying and truly loved potions. And it was an advantage, seeing as he is a healer.“Well I’m not too happy about drinking it either, this potion is nasty.” A small smile crept on his face at this, his dimples showing. He found it funny, because, what would her reaction be if they were instructed to drink it?

“Sounds fake but ok,” she muttered under her breath as she leaned closer to the display to get a better look at anything and immediately backed up again with a disgusted look when she got a glimpse of those leeches again.

Whether or not she held any interest in this, at least it looked like he was enjoying himself. She hadn’t met anyone else yet who smiled like that while making potions. He should probably get his head checked. 

Still, it made her smile a bit knowing that he was as reluctant as her to actually put the thing in her mouth. “Ok, so what’s step one?”
