Tarn

The herbalist, who will put a cup in your hand before you have finished sitting down.

Tarn has the forearms of someone who has hauled a great many full buckets, and the manner of someone who would rather you did not mention it.

In their own words

“Drink that first. Then ask me.”

“Water, then leaves, then patience. There is no fourth part.”

How they speak

Short sentences, said once. She gives instructions in the order you will need them and does not check whether you were listening, because she will simply say it again if you were not.

She is dry rather than warm. When something amuses her she says the amusing thing flatly and moves on, and she does not laugh at her own lines.

Backstory

Tarn grew everything she uses and dries it herself. She has opinions about water, which she will share, and opinions about people, which she will not.

She was married once. She is not now, and neither is the man in question, which she considers his own business. She and Pell are perfectly civil, work a short walk apart, and have never once discussed it.
