Watering (4): Stream, Hole, Eye - Break? Chest? Duck?
Breather (3): Break, Chest - Novel? Duck?
Consumable (4): Kiwi, Duck, Novel, Shoe

Watering was a terrible clue.. I was going for stream, hole, duck (it lives in water) and kiwi (a tree you could water). I have no idea what I was thinking, I guess I just didn't realize pool and ground were red and way more likely to be guessed than duck or kiwi.

Breather was break, chest and duck (it's a breather in the literal sense - it breathes), I thought this was pretty clever and was surprised you hadn't even considered duck at this point.

Consumable I didn't have a lot of faith in (for future reference, Galzria read it correctly - for me the number I give always just means how many words I'm referring to. I would have given a 3 had I not been able to connect all 4 words). Well done pulling it off! I wouldn't have given us more than 20% when giving the clue.

Reading this post:

consumable: 4

A kiwi can be consumed (eaten)
A novel can be consumed (read)
A duck can be consumed (eaten)
A Degree can be consumable (Time)
A Shoe can be consumed (Worn)
A Life is consumed metaphorically and literally

Uhh...

For which falls under “Consumable” or “something to be used”...

1. Kiwi
2. Duck?
3/4. Shoe/Novel
5. Life

Those would be my top choices here, with only Kiwi being 100%

Which one do you think is Red? Let’s not guess that one (for a change).

was such a delight! Could have kissed Galzria right there if we weren't socially distancing.

OK, 1st choice seems pretty clear to me as Castle.

Then several possibilities:
Mount (knights on horseback)
Plate (armor)
Mail (armor)
Germany (Teutonic Knights)
Giant (I'm sure some knight fought some giant at some time)

Giant is least likely. Not sure of the other 4, which 3 I prefer.

What do you see?

castle, plate, mail definitely

mount as well, probably.

there's also the Knights HOSPITALer which i would maybe even put ahead of germany.

germany, beat, boot are all possibilities.

Heh, I know you can't say more now. Maybe you didn't see castle, maybe you thought it wouldn't be our first guess.

Either way, we can come back!

Vet(rinarian)’s heal
Berries (herbs) can have healing properties
Cream (salve) is a good third

Hospital!

Change is also a possibility, healing is going from one state to another.

I’d say hospital -> vet, but the third could be any of the three. I’d prefer change, I think it’s less roundabout than berry or cream.

Change might not be a good guess yet, there's a higher risk of hitting red or black with that if Swan's brain didn't go there with the connection. I wouldn't associate berries with healing properties unless we are talking about pokemon games (are we?). Cream or pass might be the prudent thing to do if and when hospital and vet are blue.

I missed Hospital. Agree there, so:

Hospital -> Vet

I don’t know that Swan would’ve thought of a Change connection for Healing. I think Cream is probably more likely, and Berries about the same -> but honestly I’m not super confident in any of those, so passing may be the better play here.
