Hey Cole,

Pandaria has this flower called blushleaf that's a huge pain in the ass to harvest and Rae said that you'd be good at it because you've got a lot of patience. I was gonna send you a sample but it stains like crazy so you'd just be getting a red envelope with a flower in it so instead I drew a picture. You got to wash your hands fast or else they're just going to be red forever.

[ There is a careful sketch of a bush with small red flowers. ]

So what I'm actually sending you instead is tea leaves because the pandaren are all about tea. I'm not about tea at all but it seems like it might be your thing.

So do you still make rings if they won't have gems in them these days? That limits the enchantments, right? I want something super plain and nondescript on the outside for Shun and I but maybe they could be pretty on the inside? I just think that would be neat. Also Shun and I are getting married eventually, would you want to make our rings? I can pay if Cobalt Company won't cover it but they probably will.

The tea leaves are not a bribe and are unrelated to the ring request.
