Although Grim and Ursa were audibly gulping down their salivas, Tala, with hesitation and a disgusted expression etched across her face, slowly brought the Vylkr vine closer to her lips before taking a cautious bite. In a snap, she tore it in half and began to chew. The sour and bitter taste of the vine contorted her face into a grimace, and she felt like vomiting it out of her mouth. However, Warrior Jean quickly interjected, urging her to continue. He then shifted his gaze to the rest of the group with a look that plainly said, "What are you all waiting for?".

Orion joined in, sinking his teeth into the vine and gritting his teeth against the bitter taste. He watched as Ursa, Grim, and Gorg followed suit, each struggling to chew and swallow the vine due to its repulsive flavour. Despite the unpleasantness, they managed to finish the entire thing.
