Olly took out a box and opened it, releasing a unique scent. "This is a snakefruit. I can lend it to you for now. Have your people smell it. You might get some leads."

Xena did not take it. That was because she realized she found the scent oddly familiar. She was certain she had smelled it on someone before. "What's wrong? Does it ring a bell?" Olly asked

"Milady, what's wrong? What is this thing? The scent is so unique." Belle approached and curiously eyed the snakefruit in the box.
