Ciaran glanced over from her seat and noticed Knox, groaning softly when she did so. She shook her head a bit and turned her head back to the teacher, who promptly announced that they were doing a lab and were being assigned partners to do it with.

Knox awkwardly looked around hoping he could see her maybe she could be his partner Knox looked over and saw Cairan sitting with his owl and gave them an awkward waved to her. The teacher explained how they would have to work with there partners to create a potion this excited Knox and he started to rapidly look around trying to hide his excitement which he wasn’t the best at

The teacher went through the list of students after explaining the assignment and started randomly pairing people up. Eventually, she got to Ciaran and paired her up with Knox. Fantastic…

“Hello again” she seemed to be disappointed in there pairing for the assignment “have you ever done anything like this before? I know a little about it from my own experiments from back home with different roots and ingredients” he spoke in a nervous but determined tone he hoped he could strike up conversation with her or something

"Yeah, we do assignments like this pretty often." Ciaran got to her feet and headed over to a cauldron in the back of the classroom. "Here's the instructions. You can go fetch ingredients."

“You got it!” He walked over to a few cubbards his class was culminated around and slowly read the note 2 lines of boar’s tongue, 5 grams root of ginger, 3 grams frog spawn, and a pinch of alchemic powder he searched around the cabinet and looked for every ingredient and brought it back to the table he hoped he got everything right “here!” He sat them down on a little end table next to the cauldron and then looked at Cairan, Knox looked into her eyes he hadn’t gotten a good look at them before their deep blue entrances him for a moment like and endless ocean along with lighter flecks through her eyes he just stood there silent for a moment

"Thanks." Ciaran accepted the ingredients from Knox and looked at the instructions before carefully adding them to the cauldron. "Alright… um…" She knelt down beside the cauldron and turned up the heat, but she fell backwards with a sharp hiss of pain after a second. It seemed like she'd burned herself on the flames beneath the cauldron.

He snapped out of his trance “Woah are you okay!” He spoke with a large amount of urgency He hopped down to her side and grasped her hand “did you burn yourself?” He held her hand semi close to his face inspecting the burn the burn wouldn’t be to bad he suddenly noticed how soft the skin of her hands were

"I'm fine." Ciaran pulled her hand away from Knox with a soft huff and ran it under the cold water. After she dried it off, she summoned some bandages to wrap around her hand. "Let's just keep going."

“Hey, let me take over” he pushed Cairan a little bit over And peaked down at the instructions “ I’d rather not see you get hurt” he started to add in the line of board tongue “ could you stir clockwise while I cut the ginger root the instructions made sense unlike the class before where he could just barely understand the lesson

Ciaran rolled her eyes and reluctantly did as she was instructed, starting to stir the cauldron. "I'm fine. I can handle myself perfectly well, you know. I can still do it. It's not like I don't get burns all the time…"

He picked up the knife and started to cut the root with a quick proficiency “ you see I have been experimenting with potions for a while that’s what lead me to this school”, now” he said with a calm concern “what do you mean by it’s not like I don’t get burns all the time..” he looked over at her and scooped up the extra ginger

"I mean that I get burned pretty often. What did you think I meant?" Ciaran huffed a bit as she kept stirring, occasionally glancing down to make sure that the fire was still going. "I've been doing stuff like this for a while, you know."

“So, you should try and find a way to not hurt yourself, after class we should get you some ice” he poured the ginger into the pot which caused a puff of green smoke and the pot started to fade blue. Knox then continued with collecting the alchemists powder, instead of taking a random pinch he grabbed a little tablespoon shaped object that was about the size of a pinch for a more exact measurement. “Let me see your hand to make sure it hasn’t gotten any worse” his voice was both concerned and ridged

"I can take care of myself. I don't need your help." Ciaran rolled her eyes as she continued stirring the potion in the cauldron. "Like I said before, this isn't my first rodeo. I can handle a stupid little burn by myself."

Knox glanced at her and held out his hand a stubborn air in his actions “I don’t want you to hurt yourself also if we can prevent it from scarring your bd better off” his hand didn’t waver he could be stubborn when an issue concerns someone he knows

"I don't care. I hardly even know you. What do you care?" Ciaran crossed her arms and looked away, her owl hooting softly at Knox. "I assure you I'm fine, and I don't need your help."

His hand didn’t move “ I don’t need to know someone to care, and I care because your another person” after he said this he Patted her head to console and comfort her, cairan had extremely soft hair and when he pulled his hand pack he accidentally hit one of the girls ears but didn’t think much of it“ I have no reason not to care your a nice person”

"Don't touch me." Ciaran pulled her head away from Knox, keeping her arms crossed for now so that Knox couldn't see her hand. "I'm fine, and I'm not sure what about any of our interactions gave you the idea that I'm nice."

“You helped me, even when I ran directly into you” he added “how wasn’t that nice” he Poorer the pinch in and a pink puff spurted outward he then stirred the cauldron “anyone else would have left a newbie like me there” he said in a matter a fact tone not reacting to what she had said before

Ciaran rolled her eyes again. "I'm not a complete asshole. But that doesn't make me nice, you know." She turned back to stirring the cauldron to make sure that it was doing okay.

It turned to a pale blue and Knox chuckled “ your kind even if you deny it” he started pull out the strips of boar’s tongue but he would have to wait a minute to put it in he looked over at Ciaran and smiled like a dope, he of course had No idea that he was doing this

(It's Ciaran not Cairan btw)

Ciaran took a boar's tongue from Knox and tossed it in when it was time to do so. "I'm not nice. I'm a decent person, okay? Anyone else would've done the same. You just happened to run into me instead of someone else."

(Sorry I fixed it)
“Wow, you cannot take a complement “ he said jokingly he smiled widely “ decent people are kind, I’ve known some terrible people, well I will let it drop, your a kind person to me” He looked at her and changed the subject “ so now we need to do some counter clockwise turns”

"We were already doing counter clockwise. Do you mean clockwise now?" Ciaran asked, sighing softly to herself. "This thing should be almost done by now, so…"

“Your probably right.” He looked down at his instructions and then at the cauldron which has changed to a deep blue “yup it is just as the papers described, let me just put these away he grabbed all of the seperate ingredients back into the spots where he found them in the cabinet and walked back to their table

Ciaran put out the fire and collected some of the potion in beakers so that she could bring it up to the teacher for examination.
