Tom's owl to Sallie arrived this morning, as expected.
Complete with her request. Tom is nothing if not helpful.
She's sitting at a table, with two stoppered vials in front of her on her lap, and she's going over the directions on the parchment that had been included alongside.
In general? This is one time she's probably not very approachable.

"It's just a word in Chinese. Means -- " sweetheart " -- somethin' like a salutation. Hard to translate, really."

She's turning the vials in her hands over one another while Boromir speaks. If she stops for too long, the twitch of the shoulder that that shows her hand moving below the table is more

"Will that suit?" he asks Sallie.

She can't add anything to the food while he's sitting right there. Crap. Sallie needs a plan.
"Let me go get somethin' though." Sallie stands quickly before Boromir can offer to retrieve whatever she'd like for herself, and heads for the bar, ordering two glasses of rice wine.
Something Boromir's probably never had.
Something that'd cover up any taste that Tom's potions might have that'd be noticed.
She pulls both vials out of one pocket, pouring them with a shaky hand one after another in the right mixture. One whiff of Boromir's drink to double check that it isn't different than hers, and she returns to the table.
"A particular type o' drink from Shadow. Thought you might want to try it."

Something . . . is very odd.
He looks at Mrs. Reynolds. She is a good woman, kind and strong, and while there's a well of affection for her it's not . . . the same.
"Madame," he says quietly, "I fear I may have embarrassed you."

And it is, for as much as Boromir's concerned.
It's not his fault, at any rate.
Sallie stands, not having touched her food or drink, and doesn't at any point truly look at Boromir.
"I think it's time to head home."
Away from here.
Sallie turns to leave.

"Not tonight."
It's not a long walk to the door, but the destination is a universe away.
