She also had two slices of toast on the side, accompanied by a refreshing cup of peppermint tea that hit the spot. As she ate, Aurora noticed some other patrons nearby chatting about their plans for the day. After finishing her breakfast, she quickly made her way back upstairs to her room. Upon opening the door, she saw Salem, as usual, sprawled on her bed with his fluffy belly facing the ceiling. A small giggle escaped her throat as she looked at her lazy boy. She knew if she had brought up some bacon or sausage for him, he would be at her feet, purring and rubbing his soft fur against her shins. Upon closing her door, she walked over to the table. She drew in a deep breath before sitting at her apothecary desk. Browsing through one of the main drawers, Aurora pulls out a journal. The journal was old and had a worn, leather-like texture; the spine of the book was even a little crooked. The front of the journal didn't have anything special. Gently, Aurora brushed her fingers across the journal before turning a page. She was careful as if it were fragile and would break at her touch. She remembered how her parents had given her the book, along with some tips and guides on how to prepare herbal tonics and salves. How many times had Aurora gone over this book in front of her, and how many times had she read it from cover to cover? In truth, she lost count years ago. But there were a lot of empty pages for her to add her findings and her own research on herbalism and healing. Another breath escaped her lips as she looked out the window, gazing at the night sky, as if praying to her parents. With a flick of a match, she lit a small candle on her desk; with the candle flames lighting the desk and the area, Aurora began to work. Hours passed, and her work was finally complete. Aurora stood up, stretching her arms over her head; a small but satisfying click came from her back after the arms stretched, and she stretched her legs before going back to the desk. She picked up the fruits of her labour. A vial of clear liquid. Next to the vial was a sealed jar of ointment. With her work complete, she grabbed a small satchel and carefully placed the vial and jar into a separate part of the satchel from where she would regularly. Grabbing the rest of the other vials and tonics, she placed them in the secure place where they usually go. Once ready, she padded over to the bed, Salem still curled up fast asleep. All this cat does is eat and sleep. She thought to herself before petting Salem on her head. As if knowing she was going out, Salem let out a loud purr to her touch, then settled back to normal slumber. Once out into the hallway, she quietly closed the door to her room, padding her way downstairs to find Sya. The main area of the inn had fewer people around; perhaps she stayed upstairs a bit longer than she originally intended, ignoring it. Aurora’s gaze swept the main hall, looking for its owner. Then she spotted her, talking with two males. She didn't know the two, given their appearance and how they held themselves, they could be important. It didn't waver her slow advance to them. Within speaking distance. Aurora cleared her throat. [colour=#c76ef0]“Excuse me, Ms Sya.”[/colour] She politely spoke while going through her satchel [colour=#c76ef0]” Here is the eye drop solution you requested. The solution is quite effective; you only need to take a couple of drops twice a day.”[/colour] She paused before continuing. [colour=#c76ef0] “Also, the ointment helps keep your scales moisturised; this works the same as your eye drops; apply twice a day, and it should last you for a while.”[/colour] [@Theyra] Desmond, [@PrinceAlexus] Sya, [@Fetzen] Valthyr
