Placing the hearth near the bathing area, Luke got to work.
The air was gentle during the night sohe wasn't sweating a lot.
Well, lifting the hearth was not a difficult task, balancing his body while doing it so he doesn't end up hitting a wall and alerting someone was.
He had already sorted the herbs during his free time, so there was no need to waste time on preparations now.
He was kind of told by Laila to not waste herbs he doesn't need so when he went to pluck them, he actually took what he needed.
'Ha, let's see.' he rested his hand on his waist and started the preparation.
With everyone else asleep, he made sure to keep the entire process as quiet as possible. Especially, Monica who surely would ask to help.
The grinding was done with steady force rather than repeatedly smashing the pestle against the stone.
He carefully controlled the flames as well, and thanks to having brewed it twice already, he moved through the process without any mistakes.
