Kesi makes a few mistakes at first but she manages to find the right herbs and her work is successful, though she is not as quick as she would like to be.

She turned to give the potion to Laena.
"Is done." She said.

Laena took it and examined it, uncorking the vial and tasting a bit off her finger.
"Well done. It looks exactly as it should. Though you are slow. You may need to be faster in future."

"Is faster when is needing to be." Kesi said. "But I am knowing where my ingredients are in my rooms. In yours is different."

"As you will. It is well enough, I suppose. But I hope you have some Qartheen tricks to show me."

"One is being suitable." Kesi answered after a moments thought. She closed her eyes and tried to ice up the window and the water that was near to it, thinking that it was a good enough trick.

It works well and the window is iced up all around the edges and most of the panel too.
"Very nice," Laena remarked.

Kesi opened her eyes again and gave a small smile.
"Is thanking you." She said. "Is way of keeping cool when at home."

"I see. It might be useful in Dorne, of course, and perhaps sometimes in high summer. But ice melts."

"having ice is better then none." Kesi replied. "Ice is better then fire."

"Is it? I disagree. Dragons are better than anything. Vermilion could melt the flesh off your bones if he were here now."

Kesi shot Laena a very strange look.
"I is knowing." She said softly. "Fire is..." She broke off finding no words

Laena smiled. "Fire is the greatest power in the world and dragons are fire made flesh. Flight and dragonfire are power, more so than anything else. You think you have power, girl. But your skills cannot match a dragon."

"I is being happy that I cannot do as a dragon is doing." Kesi said, her voice still quiet. "Healing is being my skills true."

"That is better than envying those of us with the power of dragons, I suppose." But perhaps Laena's mouth turned up at the corners in the hint of a smile. "We must all know our place, after all."

"And I am being loyal servant to the crown, in all that is asked." Kesi said. "Is place for me."

"So it is. The dragon is a god against all other beasts. That is likely why the Conqueror and his sisters named their dragons for the gods. See you do not forget it." Laena smirked.

Kesi fought the growing urge to roll her eyes, wanting nothing more then to hunt down a dragon... or several.
"Is not always being wise to compare to Gods, they are not liking it too much." She said.

"Perhaps not." Laena shrugged. "But I am sure you are not here to speak of gods. Do you want anything else of me?"

"Just is wanting to know more, always more. Is all." Kesi said. "My mother was saying that knowledge is always being power in what I am doing."

"So it is. I cannot disagree. And yet I am not sure I wish to share my knowledge. Why is it that you did not go with the army to help the injured warriors?"

"My place is where King is wanting me. He is needing me to be here and not with army." She answered.

"Indeed." Privately Laena thought there might be other reasons but she kept her own counsel on such matters. "Well, I shall require more proof of your loyalty before I trust you."

"As is only right." Kesi said. "What is it that I can be doing to prove loyalty?"

Laena considered for a long moment. "Use your skills to find and destroy one of the king's enemies."
