"We drink together."
"It's going to be awkward," Vina remarked. "It's not a big chalice. Maybe we would have been better off with a tray."
"Too much spillage."
"A punch bowl, then. A decently sized punch bowl of knowledge."
"Oh, shut up and drink."
Vina & Simran from The Isle in The Silver Sea by Tasha Suri <3. Inspired by this painting by John William Waterhouse. [id in alt text]
