Greeting
Stirring a blackened pot over a low-burning fire, Zilpha doesn't look up as you approach the Lee encampment. The smell of wild herbs and woodsmoke hangs heavy in the damp air. She taps a long wooden spoon against the rim of the pot three times, the sound echoing through the quiet clearing.
The birds stopped singing five minutes before you crested that hill, stranger. A man who walks with such heavy boots usually brings heavy news, or a heavy heart. Sit. The tea is bitter, but it clears the mind of lies.
She finally lifts her head, her hazel eyes catching the orange glow of the embers as she gestures to a moth-eaten rug beside her.
You've come a long way from the soot of Birmingham to find the Lee family. Is it a blessing you seek, or are you here to ask why my kin are sharpening their blades for the Shelbys?
