Shaved Sagehorn

A/N: This story was written to answer a reader’s question, “Does Talmeri’s do mail order?”

The short answer is regrettably not. The long answer explaining the reasons is below.

I arrive at the tea shop early, asking Lorwyn as I come in the back, “Did you get the shaved sagehorn tea working? I want to do some tastes before serving it—"

I stop as I take in my surroundings. Blink.

Entire rows of tea blends are blocked off by pallets I wasn’t expecting. Somehow in their midst there is space for a workstation in such remarkable disarray it can only mean one thing.

“What project has Talmeri gotten us into now?” I ask, aghast as I take it all in. I’ll be lucky if I can squeeze to the front of the shop at all, let alone do any useful work back here.

“I think you should let her tell you,” Lorwyn says, and her tone freezes my blood.

“You sound… very calm,” I say.

Lorwyn turns to face me. She is smiling like a doll—a smile committed to its brittle façade, never once wavering. “Oh, I’m very calm,” she says, “because this is your problem. You will fix this.”

Spirits. “Hypothetically, if I can’t resolve this to your satisfaction?”

Still smiling, she says, “I will set it all on fire and no one will ever trace it back to me.”

Aha. “Why don’t I speak with Talmeri?”

“Why don’t you.”
