    So, about that first one. My first reaction was like, are you supposed to steal the girl’s shoe and keep it? Or maybe just “borrow” it and stealthily get it back to her after you’re done infusing it with bits of love shrubs?

    But then I went to check what kind of plant rue is. Turns out it’s generally quite toxic and any part of the plant may cause ugly skin reactions just on contact.

    That kind.

    Magic!

      … my dumb ass thought it meant roux. And I thought that would be uncomfortable to return. Not sure I’ve ever seen it spelled before looking it up just now.

        Yeah, roux is a French word for red, either an orange-y kind of red, as in red hair, or in that case, turning to a reddish color (often through heating). That’s what happens when you heat butter (or another kind of fat) in a roux.

        I don’t think either rue or roux will be very appreciated when the lady gets back her shoe.

      That’s a brutal looking reaction! If I touched something like that, I’d look back on that moment and really not like it.
