Linya and Bella are working on wishes, in between light chat about runecasting and their personal lives. It is radiantly obvious to people paying attention that Bella wants to kiss her and Linya is married, although neither statement is made.
Ivans are playing cards.
Mileses, including Solvei, are debating the wisdom of borrowing another strategy game from Bar; Mark, a voice of caution, does not know what will happen if all of them (Solvei, Mial, Miles, Milo, Stalas) all start screaming at each other in twenty directions.
And -

"Fairy curses in particular above and beyond general 'the universe wants to punish you' reasons are a particularly dangerous thing?"
first-and-final
"Yes? Sort of? Fairy curses are the sort of thing it is a bad idea to try to circumvent without either making an honourable attempt to fulfill the ending condition where applicable, or getting another fairy on your side. And if this one has an ending condition, I don't know it and have no good way to find it out."

"I don't suppose this is one of Bar's useful powers, finding curse ending conditions...?"
Alas, no.
"Rats. Worth a try."

Sable sits at a table and starts separating her handfuls of magical treats into piles. Eleven little pairs of a red candy and a yellow fruit sitting next to each other, and then ten more red candies sitting alone. (There are a few extras, which she returns to her pocket.)
"I know it doesn't look like it, but each of these red things is fifteen heart candies, and the yellow ones are twenty Life Fruits. You can't get any good out of a Life Fruit until you've had the maximum number of heart candies already. And I'm reserving two of the full sets for my parents in case I can get back home from here but can't go back to Terraria to stock up first." She pockets two red-yellow pairs. "So that's nine full sets of heart candies and Life Fruits, plus ten sets of just heart candies, left over to give to people I meet in strange bars. Who wants some?"

"I would like that - but given the rate at which people with exotic health problems are accumulating in here I might wait until you're about to leave."

"...I kind of want it in case it gets around my curse better than my health blessing already does," says Milo.
"I'm a little torn," says Ashras. "What we've got is uncomfortable but it's not that inconvenient compared to what it sounds like the rest of you have. As Mileses go, I might not rate."

"Doesn't seem like it'd do me any good at all," shrugs Mial.
"Since the magic blood, I'm not especially in need of unnatural health," says Miles.
"...I want it," says Stalas. He approaches Sable and her rows of goodies.

Sable picks up a red candy and a yellow fruit from the row of pairs.
"Actually I'm kind of curious - can you separate those out by yourself?" she asks, handing Stalas the red candy.

"It would be obvious how. Give it here, I'll separate them for you," she says. And when she has the candy again, she - does something to it - and now she is holding two candies, one of which she hands to Stalas.

Stalas shrugs. Stalas eats the candy.
"...That is so weird," he says. "But in a good way!"

"I'm not sure, but it's never seemed like a good idea to try it," says Sable. "Stacked items are sort of... abstract? Stalas, did you notice a difference between the candy and the stack?"

"I think so," he says. "Now that you mention it, the separated candy had more... texture to it. The - 'stack' - almost felt like glass. Pull out another one?" She does, and he examines the stack and the candy side by side. "Yeah. The stack looks more... fake. If you pay close attention."
He eats the second candy.
"Wow, I'm very happy with my decision to try these."

"They're all right. It's not so much the taste I'm enjoying as the... feeling of unnatural health. I definitely wouldn't want to eat fifteen of them in a row if I wasn't getting unnatural health out of it."
He continues eating candies as Sable separates them out for him.

"...I want to ask furball how valuable the cozy health of my organic body is. I wonder if the door will let me out yet."
She creeps up on the door. It continues existing. She snatches and turns the knob before it changes its mind and leans out into her house.
