>Kana takes your bowl and refills it.

>"The only thing that I've really heard is that the leaves are different," says Rika, with a shrug. "I don't talk with faeries too much these days. But you could probably go that general direction and ask them."
>You start on the second bowl. This has probably been the best part of your day...

>You're warm and dry. You have a good meal revitalizing you, and helping chase that headache seed away. You're still sore, but manageably so. You would like to have a nap, but you don't need one. As far as you can tell, the curse on hasn't acted up at all since waking up in the Scarlet Devil Mansion this afternoon.
