Riana

I polished eight whole oil jars today, eight! I'm smiling, so I don't know why my eyes keep stinging.

• Nikos the Boy PriestDon't polish while you're crying. We learned that salt in the oil ruins it.
  RianaI wasn't crying! The incense smoke just stung.
  Nikos the Boy PriestRight. It stung me too.
• Karonte the FerrymanPolish it well. Oil lasts a long time.

My hand slipped while tying the ribbon, so I undid it three times. I never knew red could feel this heavy.

• Lady TelesaA trembling hand makes an ugly knot, dear. An ugly knot has no place at an occasion of honor.
  Riana...Have you ever tied one yourself, my lady?
  Lady TelesaChild, mind your tongue.
• TanaelThe knot isn't your fault.
