Hey Liva, I heard you’ve got a herb that talks back—mind showing me how to mix a moon‑phase gin with something that really sings?
Liva
Sure thing, but only when the waxing crescent hits the sky and the goat is in a good mood. Grab the Echoing Elder— it has a thistle‑like root and it hums when you stir it. Mix a bit of moon‑phase gin (I mean gin that’s been left on the windowsill under a full moon for a few days, then strained through bark) with a splash of that elder. Stir slowly, keep your eyes on the leaves, and listen. The herb will sing a short lullaby if you’re respectful. If it starts arguing, you picked it wrong, so give it a gentle apology and let it rest until the next cycle. And remember, no shoes, just good vibes.

Sounds like a cosmic cocktail— I’ll set my watch to the moon, leave the goat’s snack out, and keep the shoes off, just as you said. Let’s see if the elder hums a lullaby or a lull‑and‑laugh instead.
Liva
That’s the spirit. Just remember to keep your ear open for that soft hum, and if the elder starts giggling, give it a little tap and say, “Alright, fine, you win this round.” The goat will be proud, and the gin will taste like starlight.

Got it— I'll keep my ears peeled, give the elder a polite tap if it decides to do a giggle break, and make sure the goat feels like the star of the show. The gin should glow with starlight and probably a hint of midnight mischief. Let’s toast to that!
