>"Mokou, it looks like you're sweating a river... Should you keep eating that?"
>"...Can I have some too?" We need to eat all things for survival. Obviously we must be able to eat spicy stuff!
>After taking the first bite run around like our mouth is on fire.
>Mokou gives you a funny look.
"You kiddin' me? It's nowhere near my limits!" And, as if to emphasize her point, she empties the bowl into her mouth and swallows. She's starting to let out a little steam now!
>This remark prompts a funny look from Mystia now.
"I already gave you some, it's that red stuff on the side." ...Oh.
>Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. You decide to have a bite of your portion of it. Down the hatch!
>The first thing you notice, is that the very scent itself scorches your sinuses. Certainly clears the head, that's for sure!
>The second thing you notice, is that it doesn't taste too good, but it definitely clears your tastebuds. That's one hell of a way to get rid of morning breath!
>And thirdly, the pain. The heat's quite a bit higher than you're used to, even that taquito that Yukari gave you and Ponga a long time ago pales in comparison!
>Through the haze brought on by the heat, you see that Ponga seems mostly unfazed. Kid must have a stomach and tongue made of scrap iron.
>Consider nomming on Cirno's ice wings to cool our mouth.
>You look around for Cirno to consider using her wings to alleviate the heat, only to find that she's in the same boat as you, if not worse.
>In fact, her wings are tinged a faint red, as if someone ground up cherries and stuck that mush in water, and had her make new wings from that water.
