"Does what it says on the can. It's like being hit with a poison arrow." She says nonchalantly. She's staring at her bandages again, staring them down with an intense look. However, she remembers why she ended up in the room in the first place.
"Did you find the cooking st- uh, pan thing?"

Tuí gives an excited beam of a smile. "Thank you!"
While she waits for the pan, she moves her ingredients closer to herself, using a claw to cut open the cacao pod then trying to figure out what to do with it. She has an idea though it'll require some water.

Tuí nods. "I'll try not to burn your shop down, promise!" She says this in a cheerful sing-song tone but it's hard to tell whether she's joking or not. Either way, she's already move on and has taken the pan into her own paws.

In the meantime, Tuí takes the fish she saved out of her pot, preserved with salt, a couple of medium sized river fish, she prepares them using the knife in her mess kit onto the tin box with the paws of a cat who has done the same thing many times before. Once that's done, she places the fish in the pan Book lended her and then places it onto a stand on the fire with a few different herbs. While she waits for those to cook, she focusses on removing the beans from her cacao pod then crushes them in her mug.

*Caracal Hollow is a nice town .... A bit hot from all the desert heat, but.... It's home. Most who live here are pleasant at least.
*Dumping the bucket once she's a good distance away from the shop, Book looks around at the other structures near her shop.

[Caracal Hollow]
A quiet town with a strange obsession with cats, nearly everyone in the town owns at least one cat and there are frequent competitions amongst owners as to who owns the smartest or the best hunter or most beautiful pet. However the obsession may be more down to religion.
The six towns, one being Caracal Hollow, and city in the centre of the ring of towns in the area, all have a firm belief in Norse mythology and the Goddess Freyja. Some practice Norse magic and others read stories about herself, her brother, Thor, Odin and her animal companions. Caracal Hollow focusses mainly on Freyja's two giant, grey cats who pull her chariot. It's the main reason why the animals are celebrated so much in the town and at every corner there's a cat-themed mosaic or statue. The town has almost seemed to dwindle away from Freyja herself and focusses more on her furry friends.
In terms of structure, the town revolves around circles, sticking to having an organised system with a temple on elevated ground in the centre of town and circles of buildings surrounding it. Book's store is located in the 5th circle from the centre, somewhat nearby to the river and a few doors down from the tavern. The buildings stick to a red, grey, black and green theme- reflecting the colours of the goddess herself- and amber is dotted around the town, sometimes in statues and mosaics, other times in jewellery.
The bridge closest to Book's shop, on the other side of the street, is a golden colour and has statues of sitting cats on each pillar, each with amber eyes. Either side of her shop are two other stores, one of which a shop that sells fabric such as cloth and silk and the other a restaurant/tea room which mainly sells tea of various kinds but also sells small meals and snacks such as smoked scorpion and grilled freshwater fish though their famed for their various types of fried cake that are becoming popular. As they cook the food in a pan, the creators have nicknames the new food a "pan-cake", they like to serve it with mangoes and cream though experimentation has proven that cheeses also work well.
In terms of facilities, water is given through new technology, pipes across town. There's one every three buildings to avoid crowding and the water is purified using a magic enchantment on the pipes cast by sorcerers and pumped from the lake nearby.
