Arumenic goes in one ear and out the other ( nasrin)

[Ximal]

Xi awaited on the answers to his questions and placed the quill back into the ink pot again. Jut focusing over and mulling over his own thoughts on the solution in front of him. Mulling over the possible things that he could do with it however nasrin's words were by far more enlightening that he'd hoped. Most herbs could be used in the oil, though camomile almond oil was better, but almond oil went off faster. Rancid olive oil smelt of rotten nuts and if tased would feel very greasy. Also if it moulded over then it would be a visible mould sometimes black but mostly white. Picking the quill back up he began to write again. The oil for the salve can be used with multiple different herbs and as such will be a much more potent blank slate. The oil can go rancid if it does it will smell of bad nuts and feel extremely greasy in the mouth. Mould might also appear this mould is often white but can occasionally be black. If black then dispose of IMMEDIATELY. Sweet smelling herbs are better used in oil of almonds than the oil of olives. This book of his was coming together nicely, and he'd only just started it but already it held some very useful information not least of which was the salves and the fact that different oils were better used with different herbs. Dabbing the quill back in to the ink he continued on with the writing making some little notes for himself. At once though he sat back at attention awaiting more instruction from nasrin.

[Nasrin]

Nasrin efficiently capped the jar and placed it on her bedside stand for the moment; she would attend to it and place it into its proper place when the lesson with Ximal was over. For now, she grabbed a jar of comfrey oil that was all ready to be made into salves, creams, or lip balms. This part of the process she would allow him to be more hands on; the best way to learn was to do for one's self. She set in front of him two small jars, made of thick blown glass instead of clay. She also set before him a rag, and gestured to the wide bowl of water sitting on the table. "First thing. Clean jars with water and dry thoroughly with cloth. Simple but important. Tell me when you finish." While he was doing that, Nasrin set about getting the rest of the supplies he would need. A dish for melting the oil, as well as a few teaspoons of beeswax and a choice of essential oils for him to scent the resulting salve.

As Xi watched on at what nasrin was doing she placed two large blown glass jars on the table in-front of him. Placing a rag in-front of him Xi could already almost feel what she was going to ask of him before she spoke. Her voice only confirmed it she wanted him to clean the jars, and then dry them thoroughly. Xi picked up the cloth and placed it next to his book placing the quill back in the ink pot. Luckily his fingers were clean of ink else he would possibly pollute the water with ink. Picking up one of the jars and the bowl of water Xi poured some into each of the jars in turn before swirling it around the inside of the jars to help try and clean them. Then tipped the water back out into the basin of water. Then picking up the rag attempted to stuff his hand into the jar but his gargantuan ham-hock of a hand was almost twice the size of nasrins which meant his hand could only just squeeze into the jar. still by some miracle he managed to get the jars clean and dry before placing them back down and awaiting the next instructions. He would do a compilation of all of the steps involved after completing what nasrin would ask of him.
