"Ah, you might like this one! A wonderful little read on household remedies and tea brewing." Their thoughts race. "Household remedies? He knows. He sees my sickness—my weaknesses. He offers me a path, but at what cost? Is this a test? Is the tea meant to bind my soul?" They swallow hard, voice trembling. "T-thank you, great one. I am honored." What do you do next?
