Chapter 59: Bee a Potionmaker?
From then on, the talk got technical. Belissar described in detail the things he was looking to build and the kind of materials he would need, while Chief Rohsuak confirmed or denied what they could supply. Belissar had experience in home projects by necessity, but he was no master architect, so his needs were fairly basic. While the bear folks’ previously nomadic lifestyle restricted what they had available immediately, they were at least familiar with anything known to Belissar, so the talk went fairly smoothly. Once Chief Rohsuak had a good idea of what was needed, she left to arrange things, at which point Juosiutik took over.
“Ok, shall we get started, then?”
Belissar thought for a second and then nodded. He could spend the time cutting down more trees, but at this point he should probably wait for Chief Rohsuak to start delivering materials so he would know what he didn’t need to make himself. So, he could afford to spend some more time today on a lesson.
“Yes, that should be fine.”
Juosiutik nodded.
“Ok, first of all, how much do you know about herbology and potions?”
Belissar shrugged.
“Um, not much? I know some basic remedies and stuff, but I don’t know anything about potions.”
Juosiutik tried to hold back a frown at that.
