It's true, Eilonwy remembers some of the lectures she received.
Eilonwy watches as the light comes and goes, eyes widening a bit. "Oh." She turns her hands over a few times and looks at them in surprise. "That's much better, thank you. Your magic is different from mine- I can heal cuts and scrapes, but nothing with muscle pain."
"Huh." He shrugs a bit. "Wonder why that is." (It's because the mun just makes stuff up as she goes-)
"Glad it helps." And he is, really. It's nice to do even small things like this. Levi's never considered doing anything like being a doctor, for many reasons. But something like this is less...messy.
He goes back to carefully unpacking the box - it's nicely done, and the tea already has a pleasant aroma even before steeping. The water is at a near boil, so he pulls out two mugs and two strainers and two little dishes for the strainers to rest in after. He measures a teaspoon or so of the tea into each strainer and casts a glance to Eilonwy.
"This good, or do you usually do more?" Herbals don't tend to be as strong as black, but he wants to check in with her opinion anyway.
"I don't know myself. I simply thought it had to do with the garden."
Eilonwy nods and watches as he prepares the cups. "No, that's my usual amount. It doesn't need much with the types used. The first few tries were very overpowering. They'd probably make very good teas over ice, but not for resting."
Levi makes a grunt of assent, puts the rest of the paraphernalia away and carefully repacks her box, setting it on the shelf with his growing collection. The kettle just starts to whistle - perfect timing - and he takes it off the stove to carefully pour the hot water slowly into each cup, sure to cover the tea in each strainer.
"Aurora mentioned the plants come in at different times. I was thinking it was the same for the potions."
Eilonwy answers simply. It makes enough sense in her mind. She watches as he adds the water and smiles. "I hope you like it-- it isn't as strong as what I remember, but it did help me relax before bed."
"Huh. Maybe that's it." It's definitely the mun just making shit up.
There's a small clock nearby. It's not a timer, just a regular clock, and Levi makes a note of when the water went in. He loosely folds his arms, leaning back against the counter as he looks at Eilonwy curiously. Did she know that he had trouble sleeping, or was it just a guess? Maybe Erwin told her? Either way, he has his doubts that it'll help put him to sleep, but it didn't help to have something to help wind down with, and Erwin certainly didn't need to be drinking anything with caffeine at night.
"As long as you used good ingredients, it'll be fine." His time for being forced to consume shitty tea is long over.
Eilonwy notes the look and smiles. "With everything that happened with Winter Full-- sorry, with October, I figured it was needed. I think the ingredients are good enough, the shop owners were more excited than I was that they had cherry tea available." She giggles and nods.
"Yes, but I've settled in as much as I think that I can. I've been decorating and keeping house so that's helped it feel more comfortable than it did earlier in the year."
