And she pricks the pad of her own thumb. Blood oozes thickly from the puncture, a dark red that's almost black.
She cups Jemma's cheek and presses her thumb to her lips, encouraging her to drink what she can before the wound heals. There's a very strong scent of iron, stronger than that of human blood, and the taste will be just as intense as how it smells. Sweet, salty, coppery.
In a small dose, all of Jemma's senses will sharpen, and any fatigue she feels will fade. Any more and she might experience hallucinations, so those rats delivering dinner might not seem like such a big deal. So Pam takes her thumb away as soon as she thinks she's had enough. The side-effects vary from human to human, though. Perhaps Jemma isn't as prone to mildly tripping out as others.
