"Go on," she says, then promptly amends with, "Oh, but you must also wear some of your armor. Not all of it, mind. Just a few pieces to imply the general effect," before lapsing into anticipatory silence. The thread on the glove is abandoned in favor of drawing the edges of her short cloak a little tighter about her on account of, obviously, the weather.
The book is so well worn that it must be a second (or third, or fourth-) hand purchase, the stamp lettering of its exterior worn largely away so that its title is legible only by the interior bookplate: Rural Scholar Series II: Principles of Floriculture by Merwyn A. Hughes. A very brief note is written on the inside - Best Wishes! -W.A. Poppell, 9:46 -, and tucked in alongside it is a packet of seeds bearing the simple description of 'pincushion flowers' written in some spidery scrawl which emphatically doesn't belong to Wysteria.
"My friend in Markham says he's had no luck growing them out of doors this far north as the climate is very different from near Calenhad. But I was assured they might take in a pot if kept in a cool, shady place and treated with some care."
