[tadanokusuriuri]

[The Medicine Seller is standing calmly, somewhere in the hedge maze.]

Such interesting rumors I've heard lately.

[He pauses, a little longer than even he typically does in the middle of a thought.]

If only... I could remember them.

[He looks around, in a way that might, perhaps, seem to indicate that he also wishes he remembered how he got

It was about...

[Wait... wait... it'll come to me...]

Nevermind.

[tadanokusuriuri]

... Never mind what?

[calculatedfire]

I can't remember what I was going to say.

[tadanokusuriuri]

....Ah.

[playingbadcop]

Hey--

I was gonna ask you somethin'...

...Oh, yeah. Have you been feelin'...I dunno, kinda under the weather, lately? [For himself, Stango sounds slightly winded; he's really starting to feel the physical exhaustion.]

[tadanokusuriuri]

[playingbadcop]

Have I what?

[Oh.]

[Yujinn had been buying supplies for his potions and herbal medicines, when he happened to get lost in the hedge maze. He looked around, uncertain of where he was.

He didn't notice the other man until he ran into him.]

[tadanokusuriuri]

[Assorted bottles and jars of medicine everywhere!]

[holyandsexy]

Ahh, I'm sorry.

[He looks around at the jars.]

... I don't remember which is which.

[tadanokusuriuri]

...No, not at all.

[He peers at the containers, quickly coming to the realization that he has no clue, either.]

...My, my.
