Sure, handwaving a couple of trips to collect samples works fine for me! I asked Leo when the cave was burned, and they said around early-mid January. Zelda has most likely been doing most of her research in her own home and sharing her findings periodically with Jude.

I saw that an announcement about the clinic just went up! Congratulations 🎉 I love this idea if making the second floor of the clinic a lab/pharmacy kind of space. It'd give use a great space to thread sciencey things and handwave over the detailed science part. Zelda would be over the moon to have such a space to work in. Her treehouse just isn't big enough for all the science she wants to do.
