‘Might take the edge off…’
Kallus eyed it suspiciously. ‘What is it?’
Zeb peered at the Aurebesh on the label. ‘Standard analgesic.’ He turned the bottle toward Kallus, who shrugged and tilted Zeb’s hand so the pill fell into his own palm. ‘Lemme get ya some water…’
‘Don’t bother.’ Kallus brought his hand to his mouth and dry swallowed the pill, grimacing at the acidic, chalky taste. Oh… Karabast, he thought, groping for the bottle, holding it up to the light. ‘Kriff me,’ he muttered.
Zeb glanced up from the bag. ‘What?’
Kallus shook the pill bottle so the pills inside rattled. ‘Derived from ice mushrooms.’
‘So?’
‘I’m allergic.’
‘Oh, karabast.’ Kallus didn’t know the blood could drain from a Lasat’s face, but Zeb grew noticeably paler. ‘Tell me what to get…’
Kallus shook his head. ‘It’s fine. I’m not going to go into anaphylactic shock. Better to just ride it out.’ He glanced out the viewport, cheeks reddening. ‘I might say some things I ought not to say.’
Zeb resumed pawing through the bag. ‘Lowers yer inhibitions, eh?’
‘Lowers… Obliterates…’ Kallus could already feel his head spinning.
