[Her footsteps are almost silent behind him: not perfectly silent, not to ears that despite their limiters are still a youkai's, but almost. A human would have startled.
Luckily -- because he'd have slopped half-finished salve everywhere if he had flinched -- Hakkai isn't human anymore. With his attention still on the herb and oil mixture he's blending together, he nods.]
Yes -- these are books of medicine, so I thought I'd try one of the recipes, and see how effective it was. It's a salve for healing bruises.
[And while he doesn't have any bruises at the moment, it's easy to smack his hand against the table and give himself one for experimental purposes. Also, if the salve turns out to be less effective than he'd hoped, a bruise isn't the sort of injury that will bother him much while it heals on its own.
If it turns out to be as effective as a recipe left by a god of medicines and healing ought to be, he can start working on a cabinet full of the more serious remedies.]
