Boil and Bubble

Lukina scooted one of the ceramic bowls toward the woman who still hadn't introduced herself but Lukina opted to let it go. She clearly was uncomfortable giving her name and it seemed maybe introducing herself as Hoarfrost wouldn't have been that strange after all. "We'll want to put a half ounce of the leaves and flowers in the bowl first. I'll show you how much. My cousin Rœkia showed me. I don't know how else you tell otherwise." She'd once heard her cousin mention something about scales but she couldn't figure out how a fish was going to help her tell how much herb to use. She bent her and started chewing off leaves and flowers and dropping, sometimes spitting, them into the bowl until she had the right amount.
