I think the only thing I've ever managed, aside from sticking my nose into other people's business, is getting a spoon to stay on my nose for a matter of heartbeats. Hedgehogs, they're far more talented with tongues and noses. Bet they smell things at least five times better than any of us can.

[She probably won't actually call him that, her cheek only goes so far.]
