LOREN

Loren just sipped from his cup, expression still carefully neutral. Equally carefully, he responded to Korbin. Understood. There was no hint of emotion or openness in the healer's mind.

Sit down and drink your tea. And yes, that is part of the lesson. He poured a cup for the hunter and slid it to the other end of the table. This is chamomile. Although many people drink tea to stay warm or for the taste, almost all of them have additional effects and uses in medicine.

The Launceleyn nodded at the cup he'd just poured. For instance, chamomile has a calming effect and is often used as a sleep aid.
