>"Oh," says Tokiko, drawing a bit closer. "Okay."
>"What kinds would you be able to make, Marisa?"
>"Whatever's left over in the kitchen," she says. "Just give me a minute."
>She takes the Bag of Mushrooms from you, and heads inside, tossing the dumbbell aside. It hits the ground with a heavy thud that makes Tokiko draw back. "She just too scary, don't you think?" says Tokiko quietly.
>After a minute, Marisa emerges, carrying a plate in one hand, and your your box of flowers in the other. She leaves the plate on the rowing machine bench and says, "All yours, kiddo," the approaches you with the Box in Hand. You notice she's placed a bottle of some brown stuff in one of the empty pots.
>"Here's a little bonus for the mushrooms," she says, handing you the bottle and setting the Box of Flowers aside. "It's a philtre made from those mushrooms. Drink it all up, and it'll give you a nice charge for a few minutes. Be careful afterward, though, because although it's not poisonous or anything, you'll still get kinda sick for awhile. So don't use it if you got plans."
>Tokiko creeps up on the sandwich.
