Tea Time!

It had been an eventful week. Chrys had managed to get the injured man back to Olympia. They'd cleaned him up and placed him in the patient den next to Chry's own. They provided him with food and water and Chrys fussed over his injuries but all in all the other man seemed to be on the mend… at least physically. Chrysanthos' studies were of the body and not of the mind. He wasn't sure there was much he could do for that. As far as he knew the man was asleep so Chrys opted to busy himself outside his den. He was fully engaged in what he'd been doing. Word of how to make fire had been spreading like, well, wild fire through Boreas. With a little luck and a trade of herbs for lessons Chrysanthos now had a small little fire going in a ring of stones. He desired to find a way to heat water so that he could better extract the goodness out of the herbs he used. It worked well enough to set leaves in water and leave them out in the sun to warm up but he was looking for something quicker.

"Ok, well, I have a fire… and I have a bowl with water in it… maybe I can wait for the fire to die down and place the bowl directly on the coals?" He looked to Bolla and the lemur just shrugged before suggesting another idea. "I could try and rig a tripod up out of some sticks and maybe we can…" she trailed off, brow scrunching in thought. And what? Hang the bowl off the top? How? With what? Nearly everything was flammable.

"On second thought, just wait for the fire to die down and use the coals."

Chrysanthos stuck his head in his pack and pulled out some marsh mallow he hoped to turn into a tisane. It would be useful this coming winter for colds and the like.
