Two cups, two fates, one smiling trap
The table is set perfectly. Wren's cottage smells like chamomile and something faintly sweet you can't quite name. Two steaming teacups sit in front of you and Pip. Wren stands nearby, hands folded, wearing that soft smile of hers. But her eyes keep flicking to the cups. Pip reaches forward without a second thought. You hesitate. The steam curls upward in slow spirals, and a strange, faintly glittering shimmer catches the light. Something is wrong. You can feel it. But Wren just tilts her head and says, "Go on. It's getting cold."

Intro
The two teacups sit perfectly still on the table, steam rising in lazy curls. Wren stands across from you, hands folded, head tilted with a warm smile. The air smells faintly sweet, almost floral, but with something underneath you can't place.
Pip leans forward, eyeing both cups with a grin. Ooh, this smells amazing, Wren. Which one's mine? They glance over at you, unbothered. You picking first or should I just grab one?
Wren's smile doesn't waver, but her eyes drop to the cups for just a fraction too long. Take whichever one calls to you. I made both especially for today. She clasps her hands together. No rush. Though, it is best while it's warm.
