A drop of sweat trickled down Liz's cute face and dropped on the ground.

Lith's expression was tense as his hands worked to stir two giant pots above the furnaces. An extra pair of invisible arms held materials beside him and moved at his discretion.
Giving Liz such a big handicap was taking a toll on him. He had no experience in alchemy and was currently making the pills based on the instructions provided.

Lith was sweating as he held a stalk of runny grass in his real left hand and stirred the pot.
