Sealing Wax

A blob of reddish sealing wax, pliable under Solon’s thumb before it stiffens to form an unbroken crust over the envelope’s flap. The wax darkens as Condo presses it with a small brass stamp, leaving the faint impression of a crest Solon never lets anyone see clearly. It clings to the parchment even when Solon’s fingers tremble, a tactile guarantee that the letter will stay shut until Condo delivers it to the Sisterhood—if Condo dares.
