A Vague Inkling is a new shop this year that sells ink that can be used to write invisible messages.

You are holding a papyrus parchment in your right hand and a polished mistwood fountain pen with a narrow silver nib in your left hand.

You write on your parchment, remembering that you need to exhale on it to hide the message.

>read parchment
In the Common language, it reads:

Some shimmering text in pale pink ink reads:
This is a fun little item to add some intrigue and mystery to your day!

The normal text:

>exhale my parch
As you blow on the parchment, the message in special ink fades.

You set your quill to your parchment and write down your thoughts to the body of the parchment.
