[He gives her a look, opaque and uncertain. Good! That's settled! He's still going to feel weird about the whole conversation, and the compulsion to continue it somehow is strong, but he fights it back. Kadoc knows when just babbling on for the sake of dragging out the argument is a bad idea. (Practically always.) But it feels unfinished, somehow, and that feeling is going to linger.
Still. Mushrooms first. He nods them along back onto the nearest walkway to head to the apothecary first. The poison mushrooms are easier to unload; he already knows he doesn't want to keep any. Kadoc is the kind of guy who would in fact keep poison on him for various uses, but he'd go for something more refined than whole mushrooms. So they can unload the whole lot of these, and then decide whether to keep any of the good eatin' ones.]
I still might keep some of the edible ones. Gareth would be thrilled . . . she'll put them in a pie for us.
