It's not like Gabby was doing much of anything anyway, besides sitting on her couch making more tooth fairy boxes for Brian. Therefore, when she checked the forums and discovered that someone needed help sleeping, she thought it would be a good exercise in relieving boredom as well as cracking open the spell books.

The sleep charm itself hadn't taken long to make. She first lit a few candles and wrote down the wish with blue pen, on a piece of paper - wishes for Isobel to succumb to a deep, peaceful sleep. Sprigs of rosemary, thyme, and lavender went onto the paper, which she rolled up into a tube. Those herbs were selected because rosemary and thyme prevented nightmares, and lavender was used for protection.

"By the power of three, so let it be.
Bring healing deep sleep here to me."

While knotting white ribbon around the charm, she repeated the saying - over and over again - until she had knotted the ribbon three times. Then all that was left to do was drip some candle wax onto the ribbon knot to seal it to the paper. Satisfied, she blew out the candles once the charm was charged completely.

Tucking the freshly-made charm and a white candle into a bag, Gabrielle set off for Isobel's apartment. She wasn't sure what she was expecting, but obviously the girl was desperate for help since she made a public forum post about her distressing lack of sleep. And she had seemed pleasant enough - which was a rarity around here. The only people that Gabby had really liked had been Brian, Bran (Dark and Mysterious Raven) and her next door neighbor, Gina. The rest of the people she encountered were horribly rude and seemed to have a sharp object permanently lodged up their anus.

Oh well. She sighed and knocked on the door, waiting for Isobel to answer.
