Scene Keyword 'Bottoms Up'
With a little bit of misgiving – what if it tastes horrible? – you accept the vial and remove the stopper. Its smell is a soothing one, sort of like sitting in the center of a fragrant meadow which doesn't really have a perfume-like odor, but still has the power to somehow stimulate the olfactory with a natural yet hinting and silent smell.
You give a weak smile and murmur, "Bottoms up," even though you know that Heledir won't understand what you're saying, before you put your lips to the vial opening and pour the stuff in your mouth. It tastes simple but tinny, kind of like colloidal silver water. Thankfully, there is not even a suggestion of sweetness or spice in it.
Not only does the potion wash the taste of vomit from your mouth; it also makes the butterflies in your stomach stop batting around so much. Within moments you start to feel better.
"Thanks, Heledir," you say to the Elf, who is still watching you with a kind intent.
Let's think again – Go to Scene 'Lingo'.
