She examined it suspiciously, but the hotel seldom went to the trouble of being that specific that she'd ever encountered, so she picked up a cookie and nibbled at it cautiously. It was quite good, and when it didn't make her start to shrink or cause all of her clothes to disappear or anything like that, she finished it off quickly. Thirsty now, she took a nice long drink from the glass of lemonade. It managed to cool her off nicely - though no doubt that would change soon...

She turned the corner and put on her best look of surprise. "Oh! Ashe! What a surprise!"

"Hey," she said, biting her lip and crossing to join her, reaching out for her hands. "How're you?"

Snarling, he tossed the glass away from him, recognizing the Amortentia in it. Dark eyes darting around, he spotted a shadowy figure peeking at him from around the corner, and in a flash he was on her, long fingers finding her throat as he pressed her against the wall, anger very clearly written on his face.

With bated breath, she watched as Snape picked up the lemonade and she silently begged him to take just a sip, not - toss it aside?! Hey! She'd worked hard on that!

Konoka purred in content as she walked towards the cookies, eager to dig in. Just as she was about to bite in, she was faintly aware of a... magic at work. But only faintly.
But since it wasn't anything poisonous, she didn't care--she dug right in, drinking the lemonade while she was at it.

That warm feeling seemed to grow when she showed up as well. Memories of their last meeting were threatening to swell up to her.

"How've you been?" she asked with a warm smile. "I feel like it's been ages."

The hotel was normally much more subtle, and without her computer, she couldn't check up on the food before her. But she was thirsty from the cleaning, and with a quick look back and forth, she lifted the glass, sniffed it, and took a few sips. Nothing seemed to happen right away, so she drank another few sips. That hit the spot.

She took a moment to straighten up, make it look like she'd been walking instead of waiting, and quickly rounded the corner. "Ami!" she said, delighted. "It's good to see you!"

Though the liquid had been cool down her throat, she felt even warmer than before. The instant she saw Gabriella, it surged, not only the lust but something more. Ami's feet shuffled slowly closer, her eyes locked upon the other girl. "Hello Gabriella. I'm glad to see you as well."
