fandomtownies | The Preserve, Monday Afternoon

It was common witchly knowledge that certain spell ingredients needed to be gathered at different phases of the moon...and certain spell ingredients, mostly very valuable ones, needed to be gathered under an eclipse. And there were certain other requirements that needed to be met, of course.

Which was to say that Lydia really wished she'd taken more time to familiarize herself with these woods before she found herself by necessity out in them skyclad in the middle of the afternoon, getting the distinct sense that she was being judged by a small blue-green deer. "I don't want to hear it," she hissed at the deer, just in case. "Make yourself useful and find me a plant with small blue flowers." Her own search wasn't going well, preoccupied as she was with making sure she didn't wander too far from her shift.
