"Smelly buggers!" Vaneesa cries after scurrying through the Callice colonies during their mating season.
It's not a smell that is often smelt, but once every three years, Callice send word to each other that they are 'ready'. The smells themselves aren't usually that intense, but for those like Vaneesa who have trained their noses to smell the difference between various similar smelling herbs, the Callice produce a very offensive smell. The smell is very similar to that of a Glassic flower with notes of Antragon droppings. And in the larger colonies, it starts to compound and linger.
"I knew there was a reason why I crossed this month off in my calendar!" Vanessa continues, hurrying through the Shifting Maze to her secret laboratory. And then crying to try and get the smell away.
"And I just had to experiment on Glassic Flowers today too!" She sniffles, knowing she cant just put it off anymore - the sickly Kings son is waiting for the results and this time, this time surely she can produce good news.
"I really need to find that back door my old Master used to joke about" she complains.
