It was probably because Sabine had not witnessed Peiter do as much, but he was apparently more widely skilled than he had let on. "I do not know much about cooking. Alchemy does not teach that." Having finished crushing her seeds, Sabine retrieved two more ingredients from her shoulder bag; a bluish flower and a handful of different looking seeds. She emptied the oil that she was extracting into a vial and scraped out the husks of what she was crushing earlier, before putting the new ingredients in her mortar and handing it over to Peiter. "Try crushing these together. Look closely at what happens. You might learn something," Sabine suggested happily.

The mix in the bowl would create a magical light from alchemy similar to the spell that Peiter had been trying to cast for a while now. Sabine thought it might help Peiter to better understand what he needed to do, but she also wanted to share the wonder that made her passionate about alchemy.

Janius glanced to Kaleeth and to S'ajira in turn, "Not that I want to encourage him, S'ajira, but have you tried growling at Leaps to get him to leave you alone?"

Tzirret had not really spoken much to anyone else this morning. He hadn't been talking much for the past few mornings, actually. This time, however, he actually approached La'khay directly. It was strange, as he tended to avoid her while everyone else around, but he was nervous enough that he obviously was still uncomfortable with trying. He sat down nearby to her, barely making eye contact. "Um, La'khay?" Tzirret asked slowly and quietly, "Do you like jewellery? Like, necklaces?"
