what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again

I feel a sudden urge to make an unnecessarily fancy pumpkin porridge with loads of saffron. A little bit of cardamom and mace as well. I bet that would be delicious.

To A Girl In A Garden

O soft and dainty maiden, from afar

I watch you, as amidst the flowers you move,

And pluck them, singing.

More golden than all gold your tresses are:

Never was harp-note like your voice, my love,

Your voice sweet-ringing.

20 Aug - Black Tea F1

4 Sept - Flavoured

Passionfruit Orange Saffron

Lychee Grapefruit Mint

Pineapple Lime Rosemary

6 Sept - Bottled

Passionfruit Saffron - very nice, definitely my favourite fruit to go with saffron. (I'm still using too much saffron - I think my mistake was buying it in bulk! So many strands all bundled up together, it's easy to get a bit too liberal with it).

Lychee Grapefruit Mint - so gooooooood! The first time I tried this combo it tasted like mouthwash 😬 The mint must've been an unusually potent that first time, because I used roughly the same amount for this batch - and it was perfect. Strong lychee flavour, nicely citrusy bite from the grapefruit, subtle minty freshness - absolutely delicious.

Pineapple Rosemary - a little dissapointing. Pineapple went so well with lavender, I thought I'd try it with something else from the same family - but unfortunately the rosemary taste didn't come through. It was still nice, pineapple is always good - but I definitely wanna try again, see if get the rosemary to show up to the party too.

*…How are the others ta-taking it? Y’know…that I’m spending the holidays with Eileen this year…

*I myself wasn’t entirely surprised, although the others were certainly taken aback. Navy most of all; he’s worried you’re abandoning us again.

*I’m not!!

*I know. But you did ask.

Spam falls silent, turning back to his chamomile tea that Saffron just brewed for him. Although the other Addisons have taken the day off for Christmas, Saffron is expecting a few customers picking up flower arrangements for their loved ones today. While waiting for them he’s more than happy to chat with him, even if things are a little awkward at the moment. Saffron finishes taking a sip of his own tea before continuing to speak.

*Coral just hopes you’re okay. And Clem…I’m quite worried about her. She locks up whenever anyone says your name, but it’s not like before. It’s like she doesn’t know whether to go check on you or leave you to your own devices. Call it wishful thinking, but I have a feeling she’ll be coming around next.

*Coming around…?

*To the fact that you’ve changed. And to the fact that we can still be a family despite that.

Spam falls unusually quiet at that, forcing himself to take a long, hard sip of the tea to try to calm down and hope he doesn’t burst. But even though he’s back in his old body, he’s not the kind of person to hold things in. Something inside bends to the point of snapping, and the saucer with the teacup still on it is set down forcefully next to Saffron as he vaults off the counter.

*Spamton…?

*How…H-How are you so calm about everything?! I just show up unexpectedly in my old body again and you’re acting like it’s an ordinary Tuesday, brewing tea and talking with me like nothing’s wrong!! I didn’t do this to myself, the audience did! I’ll be back to my broken state sooner than later-how is this sitting right with yo-you?!

*…Ah. So that’s your trouble.

Recognizing his anxieties and frustration, Saffron sets his cup aside as well and slides off of the counter, putting a hand on his shoulder.

*Truthfully, it doesn’t sit right with me, Spamton. Not at all. I hate that you’ve been cursed like this. But I’ve been making peace with the fact that after 25 years, this is how things are for you now. Your body and your voice, and most of all your mind, are unlikely to change unless your strange customers will it, like right now. All I can do is change mine and accept you as you are now. You may think you are broken, and that may be true from a certain point of view…but to me, you are still like a brother. I support you, as long as you aren’t harming yourself. I-

He’s cut off by Spam’s hands digging into his back in a tight, aggressive hug, and when he feels him shaking he realizes he’s crying. Two rivers flowing down his temporarily organic eyes, his face burrowed in Saffron’s shoulder. The Yellow Addison doesn’t continue his speech after that, instead gently rubbing the little salesman’s back. Only stopping a couple of minutes later, when Spam’s voice, hiccuping with both static and sobs, ventures to speak again.

*Can’t…can’t you just t-tell the rest of them t-that? Just tell them I’ve chan-changed…

Saffron sighs.

*If only if were that simple, Spamton. They need to realize all of that on their own; otherwise, things are no different than they were in the alley that day. Forcing them won’t do any good. But…I do have a suggestion.

The former White Addison’s head raises from his shoulder, head turning to see Saffron as he wipes his tears with his arm.

*After the holidays, I would contact us, somehow. Don’t worry, I will pretend I had nothing to do with it. Say you want to talk to us. And tell them, upfront, however your voice decides to say it, that you’ve changed. It might not fix things overnight, but…I have a feeling it might start it.

Spam nods, allowing himself to break from the hug.

*Ok. Ok…I’ll try it. Thank you, Saff…

The Yellow Addison ruffles Spam’s hair affectionately, earning a good-natured grumbled from him as his half-black half-white hair is further mixed up. He passes him back his teacup before picking up his own.

*Better finish this up before you head back out.

*Why? Do you have custom-customers coming??

*Possibly. But more importantly, you have friends that want to give you gifts for the season, don’t you? Don’t keep them waiting.

Spamton’s eyes flutter open widely with a sudden jolt of remembering, and with that he hurriedly downs the rest of his tea all at once with a loud gulp. He sputters for a moment from how hot it is, having forgotten what it’s like to being able to process the temperature of hot food and drinks, before wiping away the rest of his tears and handing the empty cup back to Saffron.

*Of course!! I can’t access my Inventory right now, but in a day or two stop by my shop, alright, Saff? I’ll give you a little something for everything today!

*…Of course, Spamton.

And with that, and several lagging frames, he went dashing out of the flower shop and off into the cool winter air of Castle Town. Leaving Saffron to enjoy the rest of his tea by himself.

There has to be something I can do to help him aside from just supporting his decisions…
