The bowl I put in the men's quarters and the bathing room? It has dried flowers and herbs in it to make it smell nice?
[ Though, thinking about it, Stede doesn't recall any of the flowers he used looking quite so vibrant, and he's not sure even Ed is quite so beyond the realm of normal that he would mistake flowers for food. Surely not?
None of the other men had done it. That doesn't mean it is impossible...
Reaching out, he tries to rub Ed's arm affectionately. ]
[ Is that what that is? Why isn't it just called "bowl of dried flowers" ? That's what it is. Why does there have to be weird names for everything? Ed still doesn't know what the hell a a "tureen" is. ]
Oh, that stuff. Pft, no, I didn't eat that.
[ Ed scoffs, looking a little insulted. Why would he eat it? He definitely brought it up to his nose and had a deep sniff, though. Nice-smelling stuff. He also maybe shoved some of it down his pants once or twice. A man likes his nethers to smell nice sometimes, don't @ him.
He looks at Stede's hand on his arm, surprised for a moment by the gesture, before covering it with his own. Not that he's scared or anything, but he's vomiting up roses. It's a little fucking unsettling. He looks down at the petals in his hand. It is what it is then. This is the second time he's coughed one up now. If it's a hex, whatever Mr. Buttons did didn't fix it. And if it's not a hex... Ed's voice goes quiet. ]
Whatever this is, feels like it's getting worse. I don't know what's wrong with me, man.
