And then on Monday Jaune was a potion guy

[short_n_sweet]

[Another job fair job taken, another disappointment. But, maybe Jaune could learn things. The only thing he really did was put up some postings around Genessia - just pieces of paper stapled to things.]

[They read:

NEW APPRENTICE POTION GUY

Looking to work one solid eight hours. Preferably working under someone who knows how to make potions.

- Call Jaune Arc

[Included is of course Jaune's comm number. All he had to do was wait! What was being a potion brewer all about, anyway? Well, if someone was gonna teach him the basics, he'd eventually find out.]

[She walks into the kitchen, and glances up. What's he doing out in the living room? Guests are totally going into this kitchen. Is he just being shy?]

Would you like an apron?

[i.e. Come on and get to work already.]

[short_n_sweet]

[Yeah, yeah, he hears you already! Jeez...]

Do I need one? [He steps inside the kitchen to look at what she's doing or what she's gathering up. It's a far cry from some sort of... alchemist's work-station, but she DID say it was like cooking.] Like, if it's gonna be messy, then yeah! I don't want to get my clothes dirty! [If he can help it.]

[She opens one of the drawers, taking out an apron with mint green ruffles along the edges. She's already got her stain-repellant charms woven into her clothes, so she'll be fine without one.]

[With all the utensils and ingredients laid out on the counter, it looks like the perfect set-up for a network cooking show.]

First, we need to boil the water out of the sports drink, like so.

[She puts a small saucepan on the stove, uncaps the drink, and pours it into the pot before setting it on high.]

While we wait for that to boil, take the herbs and mash them with the mortar and pestle.

[Oh God what a terrible-looking apron. Really, he hates it. He's just too macho. So while he tries not to make a face, he kinda does anyway as he takes it and ties it around him. With his armour on, he looks absolutely ridiculous.]

Oookay, boil energy drink. Got it. What's a mortar and pestle?

[His tone is... that kind of inquisitive where you put as little actual inflection into your voice as possible.]

[broken_trifecta]

You've never seen one before? Good gracious.

[She's chuckling as she reaches for the small pot and the wide rod that goes with it, passing it to Jaune.]

Just about every household has one of these, it's an essential. But I suppose if you have no need for crushed herbs, they wouldn't be quite so necessary.
