Oh, plenty. Obviously lavender and chamomile are good to help people relax, but lavender can also be used as an anti-septic. Thyme is also good for preventing infection. Mint is good for nausea, and honeysuckle can help headache and applied topically it can reduce inflammation.

[He's happy to have as much as he does!!]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ wow leo is only half following this but he's glad to see tsuyu talk about something he so clearly cares about. he's fond. ]

See, I only know how to use most of those in cooking. I had no idea there was that much more to it.

[branches]

[Yes he's always really cutely soft when he talks about his herbal medicine this is canon.]

People put herbs in food?
[To Tsuyukusa, who doesn't eat, herbs are Medicine Only.]

[commandertoolbelt]

If we didn't use herbs and spices, they wouldn't have much flavor.

[ he'll leave that to the white people thanks ]

[branches]

[Thinks...]

So are there herbs in ice cream? Or sake?
[Are these??? All Tsuyukusa likes to eat????]

[commandertoolbelt]

I... think that depends on the flavors? There's probably something out there you'd like.

[branches]

Well I like sake. But I can only have any here when Shinonome sneaks some out of the SUB for me.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ slow blink ]

I take it that's not illegal for trees. Wow. I'm a little jealous?

[branches]

Human laws don't apply to ayakashi, obviously?

The sort of alcohol Molly and Sakyou drink isn't good though.

[commandertoolbelt]

You don't have to brag about it.

I've never even tried sake. Our camp director's the god of wine, so you'd think we'd be allowed to have wine? No! He drinks Diet Coke now!

[branches]

That's one of those sodas?
[It sounds sort of like coca cola which he knows is one thanks to Leo.]

I could get Shinonome to get another bottle if you want to try it?

[commandertoolbelt]

Yeah - it's supposedly the healthier version of it, but it's really not that much better for you than the regular kind.

...I mean, sure. I'll try anything once.

[branches]

[Nods!!!]

Next time I see him I'll ask. It's not a sweet as those sodas you drink, but it's a little bit sweet.

[commandertoolbelt]

I don't think I can trust your definition of sweet.

[ just saying. ]

But that's okay. I'm not that big on sweets, actually.

[branches]

What do you like, then?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ hums thoughtfully ]

More savory stuff. Spice. They've got some food from home around all the culture festival booths, so I could show you.

[branches]

Well I did say a date should include food, didn't I?

[He will humor you and your food booths.]

[commandertoolbelt]

You also said you don't eat. And even if you did, are you sure you wouldn't be vegetarian? Most of the ones out there have meat.

[branches]

I can eat if I want to! And I don't eat meat, no. I don't like how it tastes.

[commandertoolbelt]

Well, lucky for you, my best friend is vegetarian so I'm always looking for those options, anyway. There are some out there, it's just a little harder to find.

[branches]

Then I'll try that and you can just eat whatever you want.

[Huff puff!!]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ flicks him gently. ]

I like vegetarian food, too. I cook it all the time for Pipes.

[branches]

Your vegetarian friend is named pipes?

[THAT'S OBJECTS?]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ oh no. tsuyu really needs to stop giving him this power. ]

Yes. Absolutely. Pipes can be a name if her dad wants it to be. He's rich, you know.

[branches]

[Unfortunately he won't.]

So rich people can name their kids weird things and people won't say anything?
