"When you think you can stomach it, drink this. It's vervain tea. It'll help if he finds the herb on you. Second line of defense." Also poisoned blood, but she didn't say that out loud. Peter knew that. She figured he'd also get it was her way of saying she wasn't taking more of his blood tonight, or whatever. She'd get to the tea for Samuel after they'd gotten to John.

"Take me to John."
