8 Frost, Year 123
[Closed - Solo]
Hilana was situated in the alchemy lab in the back of Harataecia's Blood. It wasn't as substantial as Domina Clelia's, but it certainly had everything she could want to mess around with here. For what she was doing, brewing poisons and building on them, then enhancing them and changing them into something else, this was more than enough.
Beside her was a large vial of venom from an Atraxian Cobra. She wasn't using her own; Vasilei bought it from her so that they could use it to make products there in Sweet Remedies. This was something that Zosar, the proprietor of this shop, bought from someone else. The Vastiana had half a mind to get herself some more snakes so that she could supply him, too... but that would have to wait until she had moved house next season. Her apartment was already full, the spare bedroom fairly bursting from the enclosures she had made for the snakes that she already had. She couldn't very well add more without more room, not the big cobras. She could add the smaller ones... and yet, that venom was rarer still, and she knew that that needed to become something of a signature. But those snakes made Athalia even more anxious. It was a bit of a tightrope that they walked, and Hilana had to mind her sister.
But the vial would have to wait. Hilana opened the stone container that held the freshly-made Alchemist's Clay, and she scooped up the agitation rod from its box. Water was measured out and poured in, along with some spoonfuls of Alchemic Acid, and distilled essence of aetherite. The rod was touched to the clay, and she began the process of priming it for use, stirring it and watching intently. She had a glass jar beside her, and into that jar went the vial of venom.
