Sardonyx gestured over his own shoulder with one thumb, not bothering to turn and look at the softly simmering cauldron behind him that he pointed to.
"China-grown wolfsbane. Take two extra days to simmer, but much better than crappy British wolfsbane. Go down smoother, relax you more. Stuff grown here cheap. It too rainy, plants no get good sun. Neither do people, all really pale and cranky all the time. Need vitamin D."
He nodded in emphasis, getting up and slinking over to turn the record over as it came to an end then coming back to the table to stir one of the other simmering mixtures.
