[Eilonwy leaned forward to look at both jars with a soft,] Oh! [They did look very nice, and Eilonwy nodded as she sat back.] That would be nice. Did it take very long for everything to mix together?

Though… I suppose waiting can be its own form of difficulty for some people.
[She smiles, taking a sip of tea.] I like to check on them every now and then, just in case the seal would become loose, but these ones turned out well.

[One of those is herself, Eilonwy can be impatient at times, she knows this.] Right- it reminds me of storing grain. You have to make sure it's sealed properly to keep it from spoiling. I didn't know the seals could loosen on their own, though.

Just three? Though… I suppose there is first, second, and third place most often, yes?
[Impatience wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Chise herself often had her body moving before her mind… which was something she had to learn to undo most of the time. It was still a work in progress.]
It isn’t too common, though I suppose with temperature fluctuations and the air inside potentially expanding… I was more concerned, in this case, since I had to move the jars from my previous Cottage during their fermentation.
[Thankfully, they shouldn’t have to worry about the lids popping off anytime soon now!]

[Eilonwy has some of her tea and admires the jar.] Glass is surprisingly sturdy- even I'm not used to it yet, and Prydain uses glass in a number of things. Even here there are things I'm not used to. We do make potpourri but it's usually stored in small cloth bags and hung in the rafters. Or put with clothing to help it smell better between washing.

That might be getting too philosophical - at least for a friendly gathering over tea!]
It can be used for that too. I know, once the mixture sets, I tend to put it into pouches to distribute. After a while, the scent fades, but it does help to have it in a more manageable form. [She can’t imagine how heavy it would get if she carried glass jars around everywhere. Not to mention dangerous, when they didn’t know if another unexpected situation might pop up here.] I… didn’t think about the fact that glass might be newer. To me, it’s something used so often where I come from. But Prydain is different, isn’t it?

Someone steadfast and kind.]
Do you have stained glass windows there? I’ve mostly seen them in the churches and older structures in England, but the different colors and designs really stand out. And iron… I feel like that might be more rigorous of a process to shape into jars, though I’m sure the craftsmen are quite skilled at it? Iron doesn’t agree with the fae in my home though, so Elias makes sure to not keep any around.
