Cricket takes Senior potions on Wednesdays at 3 PM and Thursdays at 9 AM, so she is present as all this drama unfolds.
She voices some apprehension about the concept of love potions in general, but ever obedient, she takes diligent notes as Mr. Elmasry explains the process and promptly gets to work. She struggles a little with the portions that require wand magic, but pulls through on her first attempt (with a little help from Nate).
Cricket's amortentia smells overwhelmingly of hay and the earthy, warm of horses when you brush them, followed by the must of sunbaked wall paper in a very old house, the muddy scent of river banks in the early morning, Maggie's various face creams, lotions, and potions, and Old fucking Spice deodorant mixed with... an extinguished campfire? She glares at Nate as she lists out loud what she is smelling, but pauses after a second whiff and clams up.
Smells associated with Cricket: Newspaper print, that alcohol-y scent from new highlighters, hay/horses, and vanilla and brown sugar body scrub.
