I can taste either the color or the actual flavor. You know when you look at a mirror and can focus your eyes on either the surface or your reflection?Like that. But that's about it. I can't do any kind of chemical analysis or anything like that.

And my sense of smell is hard to explain. Sniffing is never going to get me the same kind of quality as licking. But I'm good for other things! Like smelling smelling someone's trail. Or abstract concepts. Or someone's fear or their lies.
