"R- really?" Ethan asks, dumbfounded by the little centaur's open show of affection. No one had been very nice to Ethan since he got here and he found himself in total disbelief that anyone could be so kind. Up until now he had spent his time hiding in the library or stealing supplies from Wigglyfish and was really quite pleased by the prospect of a friend.
"O-okay," he replies with a smile, pulling a small bottle of green gel seemingly from nowhere. "This is a present. For you I mean. It'll make you sing. I don't know what its good for but it has a nice feeling." he closes Cain's hand on the bottle.
"Are you ok?" he asks suddenly, remembering Apronia's sodden and inked state.

"Fine," Apronia sighed, crouching down to wash her hands in the lake. She caught a glimpse of the vial out of the corner of her eye and gently took it from Cain, popping the cork and wafting cautiously. She recapped it quickly, eyeballing the young Ravenclaw with an intimidating sterness of the eyebrows.
"Young man, this is poisonous. Where did you get it?"

Cain untangled himself from Ethan, glaring up at Apronia with a cute pout, his arms crossed definitively across his chest. "Hey! My FRIEND gave that to ME, Apronia! Not YOU! Give it backkk!"
He stamped impatiently, reaching out wildly to grab it.

Apronia fended off Cain's grasping arms. "Cain, Cain, mi piccolo, per favore...I'm sure he didn't mean to, but this is very poisonous and I don't want you to get hurt." she pleaded. "Do you know what heliotrope smells like?"

Raising his hand tentatively, Ethan interjects over the sound of Cain's insistent pleas.
"A- Actually, the bloodstone, as it has been introduced to that batch, completely counteracts all the negative effects of the poisons. It's - It's completely benign, I think," Ethan manages a wide smile, proud of his work.
"It also tastes very good on toast!" he cries as an afterthought.

Apronia raised a careful eyebrow. The boy was cute as a cabbage, but... "Is it indeed? Have you eaten this particular batch?" she knelt close to him, a motherly hand on his shoulder. "I am not a Potions Master. I only wish to be safe, to protect my young friend Cain here. He's already been through enough in the past few days..." she fell silent, glancing at the still-indignant centaur with warmth in her eyes.

Cain couldnt help but smile, stopping his whining and kicking up some dirt with his hoof bashfully. "Aww, Aproniaaaa..." he mock-complained, blushing. Cain stepped forward to hug Ethan again, squeezing him tight. "It's okay! It's the thought that counts! I can sing pretty good anyway, and besides I like honey on my toast!" He pauses, giggling. "You're so smart to make your own potion even if it is a little poison!"

Apronia smiled fondly at the two young ones in front of her, stroking Cain´s cheek. ¨Piccolo, avete un cuore grande.¨
