Kurako eyed the vial again as she told him what it was, then he stared at her. Offering to have it tested on herself, Kurako shook his head ever so slightly. If she were an assassin that utilized poison, chances were she would be immune to the poisons she took or somehow secretly give herself an antidote. Testing it on her would be useless. Testing it on himself could be dangerous if it were a poison. Kurako opened the vial again, once more bringing it to his nose to sniff at it.
It hadn't smelled dangerous the first time and it didn't smell dangerous now, as he tried to sort the scents. The half elf shrugged, and tilted his head back, the hood falling away from his face. Mouth open, and he tipped the vial ever so slightly, if it were really a medicine, he didn't want to waste it. A few drops touched his tongue, a poison wouldn't kill him, but depending on what kind it might be it could either intensify the darkness that coursed through his veins or just cause him intense pain for a while.
The stoppered the vial once again, as he let the drops sit on his tongue, tasting the flavor and testing the feel. It was familiar and unfamiliar, he was certain he knew some of the herbs used in this, but the sweetness was what turned it into an unfamiliar taste. He swallowed the drops on his tongue, and his nose wrinkled slightly, an expression of distaste on his features.
"Sweet medicine." He almost sounded disapproving, but he could understand, some people wouldn't take bitter medicine even if it would save their lives. That was something the half elf thought was rather stupid. Why care about the flavor of something that could or would keep you alive.
He handed the vial to Patrin. "Seems safe enough." Though there was still an air of suspicion about him as he glanced at Sirona. She really did seem harmless enough, as in, no ill will towards Patrin. For a moment Kurako seemed like he would say something to her, perhaps a threat or perhaps a thank you for the medicine. Kurako changed his mind, pulling his hood back up instead to hide once more in the shadow.
