Noctisardor Bypass all i wanted

She would depart for the hollow this evening, but for now, she tended to the tincture she had been brewing just south of The Pharmacy in a small puddle she had dug next to Tealwater Creek. Fiona tested the water on her tongue, the bitter taste more apparent than it had been even two days ago. The plants anchored to the bottom with a rock were doing their job, seeping into the water. She hoped that both Heda and Druid would take her up on the offer to learn this method from her. Fiona planned to spread it whenever and wherever she could.

That got her thinking about the future, something she hadn't spent much time doing lately. Not too many more months, and she would be free to roam again. She would not, of course, if things in Rivenwood were still so unstable, but Fiona had never intended to stay rooted in one place for too long. The witch would see the children grow—perhaps even stay for their choosing of their familiars, should they decide to go that route—then she planned to take her knowledge to the next place that needed it.

@Prowler made a chittering sound, cleaning some food in the tincture water before gobbling it down. It was only then that Fiona realized there was something off about her little friend. She looked decidedly fat. Oh jeez, not you, too! she said, her tone weary. It appeared Prowler had been none too interested in keeping her season at bay. Fiona had been so preoccupied with keeping herself child-free, she hadn't even stopped to consider that her familiar could bear children. That was going to make her a lot less useful in the coming weeks.
