Or, you know, there's morning glories blooming all around the train today. Mostly white but with a few brilliant crimson flowers (do morning glories come in that color?), all of them smell sweet and lovely, though the red ones smell a bit like... cinnamon? They're also blooming all day, which is weird.

The scent wafts pleasantly through the train through the morning. The sweet scent brings the urge to be honest and express your emotions freely. The more spiced scent... might make you randy? No not the tall redhead. The other kind.

In either case neither effect is generally overwhelming, and can in most cases be overcome, if you happen to notice you're under any influence in the first place. The effects are subtle enough.

In the afternoon a light rain will crush the flowers, making the scents heavier, and the effects stronger for a few hours, before it all clears up in the evening.]

Plenty of flowers and other plants smell the same way.

Like what kind? Like this spicy?

Lavender, for instance, is not really what I could name sweet, even if pleasant. It is...earthy in its fragrance. Calming. Saffron is probably one of the most well-known examples.

I don't think I've ever had real saffron.

We could begin to grow it, here. It is not especially picky nor challenging to cultivate.

But isn't it super expensive?

Indeed. Pound for pound, it is worth more than gold. It is incredibly labour intensive, so I would imagine the process, or starting plants, would have to be modified, as it takes upwards of seventy-five thousand plants to make a single pound.

Is it really that tasty to be worth all that?
