the witch and i have come together to discuss the terms of our alliance. jade has been hard at work drawing up the paperwork, meticulously scratching specificity onto the pure white page of our new contract. i take a moment to admire her handwriting before pouring her a nice hot cup of tea. the responsibility will fall to her soon enough, but for now i am content to serve as an excellent host.i have never actually had tea before. i know jade’s favorite tea, of course, but in the interest of respecting her personhood and her privacy i have elected to take an educated guess at what else she might like. this tea is black. it smells good.
