On the desk, you see a serving board with a porcelain cup on top of it. The cup is half full (or half empty?) with a dark, herbal liquid.
However, the cup is cold to the touch. Looks like someone didn't get to finish their tea.
On the left of the desk, you see a portrait of a woman.
Attached to the desk are drawers you could look through.
1. [Examine] the portrait.
2. [Search] the drawers.
3. [Return] to the room.
