Attentiveness was one of many skills a practiced mage would acquire. The indecisiveness of the quiet girl in the corner hardly went by unnoticed, where despite Lilian's seeming ignorance towards the little change of thought, she was more than aware of Ruby's little crisis. Hah, the ditsy girl said something naive again. Healing without hurting oneself... A far more conflicting question might arise from that. One that, truthfully, Lilian had found an answer to.

"I suppose that's one way to put it. Properly managing your own energy will come a long way when it comes to preventing overexertion. Though there's many ways to reduce the stress caused by healing another person, the most obvious ones are usually ignored by students and adults alike. Right now, you're all very young and healthy and your bodies are capable of many things. You might decide to stay up all night drinking and go to school on a few hours of sleep, or maybe you'll eat nothing but junk food all day. Although participating in bad habits might not seem, well, bad, treating your body poorly does not reflect well on your ability to use magic. Most theories of magic support this idea, whether magic is utilizing magic is another body part, your life force or something arbitrary you gain while resting, a proper sleeping schedule and a healthy diet will be your first step towards healing people without hurting yourself. Furthermore-"

At that moment the door to the classroom open, a young purple haired girl entering while her eyes were glued to a phone screen. From the moment she made her appearance it wouldn't be difficult to tell her and Lilian were related. Perhaps even sisters, or so, one could muse. Though despite similarities in looks, the casually clad girl was quickly halted when she attempted to seat herself at a desk.

"Rosemary, please get out of my classroom."

The girl froze completely, seemingly in disbelief of what her mother had said. "Excuse me?" How dare she not only try to send out Rosemary, but simultaneously use her name so the whole class knows Rose is her relative? It was disgusting. This was one-hundred percent NOT how you pull off a successful mother-daughter student-teacher relation. The fact her mom was just unable to cut her slack on both fronts made her want to give up completely. In fact, her mom was probably just bluffing anyway. Trying to act all tough in front of all her fellow students to scare them into-

"You are excused. Now please leave." Rosemary turned around, started walking and soon after the sound of a door being shut was the sole reminder of Rosemary's brief existence. Mom could win for today. Rosemary was gonna get something from the vending machine instead if her mom wanted to be all sassy. With that out of the way Lilian's eyes were set on Ruby, arms crossed and an non-amused expression hanging on her face. Truth be told, Lilian was not looking like the most inviting person right now, basically radiating 'no-bullshit' with every bit of body language she had. For a moment one could wonder if she was straight up going to send Ruby out of the room as well.

"You had question, no?"

Admittedly, Ruby felt a little envious of Petra and how the girl as scatterbrained as they seemed could speak up when she wanted, but at the very least, she opted to responsibly take notes on the professor's lecture instead. However, most of Lilian's words were rather... straight-forward, even to someone who didn't know much about magic. It made plenty of sense that one would need to be in top condition, right? She figured that casting while hungry, lacking sleep, or on a bad diet could lead to unwarranted side effects. Ruby wondered, what kind of side effects? Though... maybe that's best left a mystery.

Her attention then turned to the door as another student made her way in. Rather late, at that. Her ruby-colored eyes looked back and forth between this new girl and the teacher. Relatives? Siblings, perhaps? Rather, she'd almost forgotten about Lilian's supposed true age, so... mother and daughter? Given their somewhat amusing interaction, her latter assumption started to make more sense, and she felt a little bad for Rosemary having been simply shut out like this. Though, given the standards of the academy, she understood Lilian's actions, as a simple matter of fact. Ruby sighed, remembering that common sense didn't seem all that... common.

With a train of thought having gone a little too far, suddenly being addressed just about made the snowy-haired introvert jump out of her seat. "A-ah! I just... I-I was-" Ruby was never good at collecting the words she needed on demand. Her plan to erase her presence may as well have failed the moment she indecisively lifted up her hand, only to lower it back down again. Brilliant.

...No way out of this, then. Plus, she may as well take the chance she's given. The girl let out a soft breath to calm her nerves a bit, then she finally stood to her feet, speaking out in a gentle, effeminate tone. "...I was mostly wondering... since I'm primarily interested in alchemy and potion brewing... how it is that healing potions work? If... if healing requires energy from another being... from where, is the potion gaining that energy?"
