"Are we making a potion today, or are you too tired?", Adrien asked.

Val paused. "I am a little tired, but not overly so. Maybe working on a potion will even help", he said. He pulled a book out of the bookshelf and leafed through it. He stopped on one page, read its contents, then nodded. "Right. Let's do this one. Today, we'll be making the Wine of Wakefulness".

"Oh, I've heard of that one!", Adrien said. "I knew someone in university who used it whenever he had to study all night".

"A bit of a sad use for it", Val smiled. "But I suppose that is one of its many purposes. It really is a very useful thing - and a good beginning potion, too. Come here, you should start by reading the recipe".
