Stavanger Bay she brought the sugar and the mint

I just meant that the size of the hole is comparable to Doe's or Arturo's size - I don't know if he's actually been in there (he certainly hasn't IC), but the two of them are the only ones who would fit through the entrance, I think.

Already chewing on a prickly blade of lemongrass, Doe nodded her approval as Sy returned bearing water. It would evaporate in time, so she'd have to add water to it every now and then, but this was a good amount to start with.

"Careful - cuts your tongue," she warned, working her tongue and letting the chewed grass fall into the dish. She dropped a few of the dry flowers in, along with the peels and the already-chewed mint she'd gotten to before Sy's reapperance. There was really nothing else to it - sometimes, her mother had made it alcoholic to better soothe her patients, but Doe found no need for that when her patients would already be under the influence of the plum whiskey. After the ceremony, she'd add chewed snakeroot to mint julep, and they'd celebrate the blessing with this mixture while healing their minds and bodies at the same time.

She hadn't really needed help for any of this - she was sure her Sy knew that, by now. But Skellige had placed the sweet boy at her beck and call, and why shouldn't she take advantage of that to steal him away and bask in his company and attention? When all affairs were settled, they so would they settle, and marry, become mates, bear strong, healthy boys. It was right that she spend her days with him, now. There was still so much of him she had to learn, and he could not know her completely by now, either.

But there will be time for that, she thought in leisurely joy, scooting toward the palid male and letting her side press lightly against his. She turned her head and licked at a creamy shoulder, noticing for the first time the wispy streaks of ginger that lightly dappled his coat. Her tail wagged at this new discovery, and her mind's image of him grew all the more handsome. Helpless to her affection, she began to groom his salt-encrusted pelt.
