[ Cisco just shrugs; he might be more articulate about the whole thing if he weren't trying hard not to think about Eddie's chest or bales of hay or silky lacy things or any combination thereof. Maybe some other time, when he's less flustered, he'll make a better defense about ambiguity and genderbending and the whole thing. For now he merely says: ]
I can.
[ He snorts a little laugh; of course Eddie had asked Taako if there was an orgasm spell. It's what Cisco would've done, if he were going steady with a wizard. But it also makes sense to him that a potion is not quite the same thing as a spell, and that there are types of magic here that might not be the same as the magic Taako's learned. There are so many different worlds represented on this moon - some of them must have relatively innocuous forms of magic.
Cisco is glad that Eddie asks for the explanation, since it means he doesn't have to. Together, the two of them listen as the older, bearded man behind the booth explains the potions. One, he says, will alter the physical sex of the person who takes it, for a few hours. He says there are varieties of the potion - some that make only minor changes, others that are more of a full-body alteration. Another whole section of potions are, apparently, for sensory deprivation, leaving the drinker blind, or deaf, or both, and more. Those ones, he says, require the purchaser to sign a waiver.
There are others, too. Potions to enhance certain emotions and sensations, potions to induce hypersensitvity, potions to do all kinds of things that Cisco doesn't even understand right away how they could possibly be sexual. It's all very impressive, and more than a little daunting. ]
