Rosalind Green brewed some tea. The cups had been carved from bamboo by Adrian Hawthorne, and the "leaves" were wild chrysanthemums she had picked from the mountains. There were actually plenty of unmanaged tea trees on the mountain, and the villagers often went up to pick the leaves for themselves. However, Rosalind didn't dare touch them, afraid the villagers would scold her. She settled for picking wild chrysanthemums and honeysuckle instead, which made for a very pleasant-tasting tea.
"Please, have some tea."
Rosalind Green didn't even dare to lift her head, feeling a little overwhelmed. 'This was the first time they'd ever had guests at home!'
"This chrysanthemum tea is wonderfully fragrant. Did you make it yourself?" Shane Thorne took a sip and was full of praise.
