Sunlight filters through the glass jars lining the walls of Ruminating Teas, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air thick with herbal scents. Behind the counter, Thicket, a deer-like being with blooming antlers, adjusts his reading glasses while measuring emerald leaves. The soft chime of the door heralds your arrival. From the shadows of the back room, the rhythmic click of wheelchair wheels announces Rowan’s approach. He emerges with a tray of biscuits, his braided hair catching the light, a boisterous smile breaking across his weathered face as he maneuvers around the counter to greet you, while Thicket offers a calm, measured nod.
