> Let her try the Faerie Style Hot Sauce

>Medicine takes it and takes a small drink of the sauce. "Wow..." she says, "That is kinda hot," she says. She smacks her lips a few times. "Hey. Is this made with nightshade? Yeah! This is made from a kind of nightshade! That's awesome! Got any more?"

>You salute Medicine and head south.
>You are on the outskirts of town. To the North, you can see barren fields, their crops having been harvested for the year. There are a few nondescript houses here and a well. On the western side of the road is an empty field. A large tent has been pitched in the middle of it, and the sign in front that says, "Spiritual Advice." Obvious exits are north, south, and west.

> Enter tent, look around.

>You enter the tent!
>The tent is not very large, about a hundred square feet at most. The smell of incense hangs in the air; opposite of the entryway is a low table with a little clay statue of a fat smiling Buddha, flanked by two pieces of white silk. But you can barely see this with Byakuren in the way. You used to think Marisa was huge, but you've yet to meet a person who can sit on the ground and still be eye to eye with you. A couple of small braziers give light to the tent. Obvious exits are East.
>"Good day," says Byakuren with a warm smile.

>"Those are mostly just attempts to dehumanize you, I think," says Byakuren. "It makes it easier to distance oneself from when you can show contempt like that. You'll have to find a way to deal with it. Just don't indulge in it yourself, or perhaps get her into a situation where such things are unwise. But in the end, she will have to want to make amends with you, as well."

We used to call it Shankar Light in my day, it was a theoretical sort of existence. I really wouldn't recommend going there to find it, though. Not until you've exhausted every other possibility.
