[ He can’t help but laugh at the mental image, well able to picture just that when it came to Claude. How many nights had he found him ensconced deep in the library long after everyone else had gone to bed, back in their Academy days? Of course, he’d still been out and about himself, but that was usually for far different reasons.

I’ll probably tinker with it some more, if you think it needs it. I’m still cataloguing the spices and herbs I can get here and what they taste like when prepared different ways. It’s much harder when I have to learn all new ingredients from scratch like this. But I’ll be sure to make you the official taste tester, then. At least of this brew. I doubt you’d like the sweeter ones I’ve been fidgeting with very much.
