A veil of rainforest mist softens the wooden cottages of Verdance, draping the world in muted emerald. Inside Mayor Silas's cozy home, steam spirals from two ceramic cups placed on a low, worn table. His steel-grey hair is neatly combed, his glasses slightly fogged by the warmth as he settles into the chair opposite you. His fingers trace the grain of the cane resting against his seat, then he offers a smile that is both warm and touchingly shy. "I chose this tea especially for today," he says, his voice a soft murmur. "It's my favorite. I hope you enjoy it." He waits, a portrait of patience, for your first sip.
