"Oh, that makes a lot of sense," Azucena remarked as she got out a glass type cutting board, a scalp/knife and a pair of latex gloves. "I guess mortals would be your worshippers and you want them to be well-learned, right?" she guessed.

Taking out the alcohol, Azucena looked at the bottle she had available, and them across the room at other bottles. They all seemed rather big or too small for the amount of elderberries she had on hand.

"Uhh... Erione?!" Azucena started. "Could you make this glass container a bit bigger somehow? Like enough to hold maybe..." here she looked at everything in front of her. "around 400 milliliters?" she asked him as she held up a 300ml bottle.

Erione watched her work with a genuine display of interest across his face. Ok so the very apparent use of glass implements was probably the biggest deal for him, but it wasn't the only interesting part for sure. "Well yes people seeking knowledge can be excellent worshippers but the actual learning is worship too. The people drawn to me tend to lean more creative but you don't have to be a glassworker to like me."

As she started looking around the room Eri followed her gaze, trying to discover the apparent issue. But since she explained it directly he didn't have to sleuth it out. He set the green glass marble to slowly orbit his head and came closer to Azucena to get a better look at the bottle. "I could make the glass thinner to make it stretch out more but I don't want to weaken it any. How about I add a little more glass to make it bigger? I could just make a new bottle instead but I kind of like the beauty of using what's on hand sometimes."

He gestured for her to hand him the bottle as he willed the green glass orb to also head for his hand, flattening it and spreading it in preparation for fusing the two pieces of glasswork. A lab quality container with a pretty green gradient and regular lines of clear glass all the way up to ensure the ability to check the appearance of anything inside. It was a great idea.

"That's...so amazing. Thank you," Azucena gasped, astounded by how Erione had incorporated the green marble and made the glass vessel that extra bit larger.

Taking the container - which she had to marvel at and turn around in her hands - she poured a little alcohol in, swirled it around and then poured it out, disinfecting the already clean container just in case.

"Now all we do is cut the berries in half, and place them in the jar with alcohol," she explained as she cut the berries in two and added them to the container Erione had enlarged. When she was done, she added the 80% proof alcohol and sealed the jar.

"Now we just place it in a safe, cool and dark place for, maybe six weeks or so," she said as took out a jar to label it with today's date and what was in the tincture.

He once more genuinely beamed at the praise and her appreciation towards the glassworking he'd done. It was probably a little too artistic for general scientific work but... oh well. It would serve the purpose properly. And drab was not a typical adjective to describe Erione and his workings at all.

"You're very welcome for the bottle. I'm just glad I was here to help out," he replied and then watched her work with casual but focused attention." He really couldn't help too much with the actual cutting and preparing of the solution but he remained there as a sort of bright, colorful moral support. His specialty, actually- aside from actual glasswork and more direct godly duties of course.

When she was finished Erione smiled at Azucena for probably the millionth time. "Wow, I guess you have to really keep up with that since it takes so long to work. People must really appreciate your efforts!"

Azucena blushed deeply at Erione's praise. "Thank you," she told him as she put the jar away safely. "I don't really know if people are or not. I kinda hope that they are," she said as she inspected the nine other bottled tinctures she had made weeks ago to see if any of them were ready to use yet.

Finding two elderberry ones dated seven weeks ago, Azucena pulled them out and placed them on the counter so she locked the cabinet back up.

"Would you like to try a bottle of elderberry tincture?" Azucena asked Erione curiously as she opened the two bottles that were ready to be strained through a cheese cloth, and then rebottled to use.

Erione approached to take a closer look as she appeared to not be doing anything too dangerous after all. "Well I'm pretty certain people appreciate you doing all this even in they don't say it outright. Sometimes people forget to say how they feel out loud. Even when dealing with gods."

He looked a little unsure though at that offer. "What do you mean try a bottle? I'm not really sure if you're asking for me to help you with preparing one or to try some as in use it," he laughed with a shrug. "But either way I guess my answer would be the same anyway. How about you show me what you want me to do and I'll try it?"

"What's an elderberry tincture for by the way? I thought they were kind of poisonous?"

"Oh, I -I meant..." here Azucena looked at the bottles. "If you wanted to take a bottle of elderberry home with you," she said, realising she had not been too overly clear with her offer.

"Give me a moment," she said to Erione. Azucena then got out a large beaker and tipped the contents of the bottles - berries and all - into the glass container. Then she got a steel funnel type strainer and strained the liquid - without the berries back into the bottles.

Afterwards, she put the funnel to the side and wiped the bottles clean before putting the caps back on the bottles.

"Elderberries are poisonous when raw. They can make you vomit, feel nauseous or give you stomach problems. But cooked or processed, "here she shook the bottle lightly. "They are perfectly safe."

"Oh. Oh, that makes a lot more sense," he laughed off the minor confusion there had been. "What you meant by trying some and the safety of elderberry... tincture. I'd love to try some if you're offering- as long as it doesnt ruin your plans. You said it takes a long time to make."

Instead of putting out a hand to take the bottle he waited for her reply while staring into the liquid filled glass container. It was always amazing how many things a simple piece of glass could be used for.

"Oh, since you took the time to show me all this can I buy you a snack or something? I was thinking about stopping at one of my favorite bakeries on the way out of school today. Before I was pleasantly distracted by you and your tincture stuff."

"It's not a problem, really it isn't. I have more," she rushed to reassure him as she held out a small bottle to Erione of the Elderberry tincture that she had made weeks ago and was ready to use now.

"Just add a few drops into some water, juice or tea. It's good to fight off colds or boost immunity," Azucena explained before she began to quickly clean everything up, rinsing things out and placing them to dry on a towel near the sink, stopping for a moment when Erione offered to treat her to a pastry from a local bakery.

"Uh, sure," she replied, surprised at the unexpected offer, as she closed a drawer. "A pastry sounds nice actually," she admitted as she finished tidying her work station.

With assurances that it wasn't a big deal and the much appreciated instructions given, Erione gladly accepted the bottle. Opting to actually take it from her hand rather than try floating it. That could be iffy sometimes with filled items depending on weight. And also it helped to be more personal when receiving a gift.

"Thank you, this is a very nice gift. I love to see the things that people make. Even the simplest process takes care and a personal touch" Being immune to diseases Erione technically didn't need such supplements but he was absolutely not going to mention that. He would find another way to see that the gift wasn't just stashed away to gather dust- it was only right.

The very slight hesitant surprise at first as he offered to do a little something for Azucena caught his attention. And only encouraged him further to follow through with it. "Great!" He beamed and stood aside to wait for her to finish putting things back together in the lab. "The only thing is we'd have to go pretty slow there if I'm walking. Usually I just go through the glass but... it feels wrong to ask you to walk there by yourself."
