A simple salve

Oleander was determined to prove his worth and practice his skills. Basilisk gave him a task, provide the Armada salves for the incoming Battle. He was in the Col by the kitchen and had set up a system of various pots and bowls. Next to him was a large chunk of beeswax, lard, and some st. John's wort oil from the summer.

Before him was a pot over the fire and a clay bowl in the center of it. He filled the pot with some water but not enough to overflow into the bowl.

He would be delighted if anyone came by to chat while he worked. Salve making was simple enough and he wanted to get better acquainted with everyone in the Armada. What better way to work than to have someone to chat with while you did?
