She took the phial and filled it just after he did. "Sounds like a plan!" She raised her phial. "Here's to hoping she feels sorry for us and gives us candy if we really do end up having to see her." Lex had a feeling these wouldn't taste all that great, candy would definitely be helpful--oh, see that? Mo gagging right there, this stuff wouldn't go down easy.
She took a swig of the stuff then another, just as she thought, nothing good.
"Ugh, we should add sugar next time, improve the taste. How will we even know if this works? Do I wait for you to pass out or something to assume we didn't just drink our own deaths...?"
"No," Mo gave an impatient shake of the head before moving the whole cauldron and the phial out of Lex's reach. "You can't add sugar or it'll ruin it. You can't add anything because it's perfect." Even if it tasted a little like feet and the way a barnyard smelled. But in a good way. And even if it felt like cold gruel going down.
In a good way.
But how would they be able to tell if it was working? Well. Mo glanced at Lex, an oddly mulish expression crossing his features. Why SHOULDN'T it work? "It works. It works because I know it works. You should trust me, on account of I'm trustworthy."
