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."
And the next thing she knew he was pulling her phial away and taking the whole cauldron too. Her eyebrows knitted defiantly at his protest.
"And just why can't we add sugar? It won't ruin this thing one bit! Haven't you tasted this? It's like something straight out of a dumpster." Sugar made EVERYTHING BETTER Marcus Orion!!
EVERYTHING.
"And I don't think you get a say in what goes in it if I don't."
With this she snatched the phial right back and pulled the cauldron towards her.
"I helped make this thing and I say we're adding sugar then trying again." GOT IT???
Lex gave him a somewhat incredulous look, one eyebrow now raised questioningly.
"Who died and made you king of potions? It doesn't have to work just 'cause you said it will. For all you know we could be suffering from a very slow poison, ever thought of that?" No he
didn't because he was too busy spouting rubbish.
"We should just wait until a decision needs to be made then we see how strong our resolve is, now we'll do it my way so pick a colour." Don't ask how it made sense, just do what she said, yeah?
