She had some from working with a variety of venomous creatures in the Celestine, and filtered through a nearby bag, before arriving back at the counter in a hasty breath. “Okay, you’ll want to put these on first.” Securing hers to the top of her head and then utilizing them over her eyes, she might’ve looked like she was about to embark into a scientific experiment – but the Caretaker was always there to explain. “Onions release some enzymes and acids that will cause our eyes to react.

She proudly displayed it thereafter, beginning to show off the neat portions. “Want to try on yours?”
