Edmund has:

- one (1) cup of tea (Darjeeling),
- one (1) accompanying teapot, half-full, with sugar bowl and lemon,
- one (1) sketchbook,
- one (1) black pen, and
- two dozen (24) coloured pencils.

He's working in ink, sketching in outlines and faint shading, and coming back to each part with coloured pencils to add in detail and flesh it out. He's not really thinking about what he's drawing, only about how it looks.

What he's sketching is something he's found himself drawing more often, these days: a bright walled garden, barred with golden gates, atop a green hill.

He can't get it quite right. He knows he never will; the paper and pens of this world can never make anything bright and perfect enough.
