Hello Paradisians? If that is what we are, citizens of this place. In all my walking and mapping I've yet to find a place with decent tea. If anyone has some and would be willing to trade for it, or knows where I can buy it myself I would be interested in hearing from you.

You don't want to wish for it?

[dictated]

[peggy_carter]

I have and found it wanting, there is something irreplaceable in freshly brewed tea.

[dictated]

[fearbringer]

That's easily fixed. Ask for tea bags, or tea leaves.

[peggy_carter]

I have tried it, I was hoping for something better. Or is there something in the wishing I've done wrong.

[fearbringer]

Does saying "I wish for the most high-quality tea in existence" not work?

[dictated]

[peggy_carter]

I don't believe I've tried that exact phrase, no.

[dictated]

[fearbringer]

Why not try it? I wonder if it'll work.

Kitchen. In about ten minutes?

[peggy_carter]

You're quite direct, but I find that to be a virtue. I'll meet you there.

Excellent. When it comes to tea, you'll find I don't dally. I'm the Doctor, by the way. You won't miss me, I'll be the one brewing.

[Simply because... tea. When this lady arrives in the kitchen, she'll likely see a man with a teapot just about to pour.]

[peggy_carter]

Doctor? Just that? Well then, Doctor, I'm Peggy Carter. I should be there shortly.

[Tea is near sacred, granted she had built a fondness for coffee in her time with Col. Phillips, she still favored the brew of her youth. And the smile on her face ass she entered the kitchen would say as much.]

It already smells divine.

[toobravehearted]

[He's careful to make a mental note of her voice and name for when she arrives. Looking up as the lady announces herself, the Doctor's returning smile is friendly and amicable.]

That's what I like to hear, someone else that shares a fondness for tea. You must be Peggy. To answer your question, yes, just the Doctor. Please, come and take a seat.

[On the table he has milk, cream and sugar all ready. This is proper tea, after all.]

[peggy_carter]

Thank you, I feel as though it's been ages since I've had a proper cup.

[Peggy crossed to him and seated herself, inhaling the scent of tea with a slow, pleased smile. She poured cream to the cup in preparation for the tea.]

What are you a Doctor of, if I may ask?

[wishmadeinfire]

Have you checked the kitchen? I thought we had quite the stock of tea in one of the cupboards.

[peggy_carter]

Really? I had gone through them fairly well. Was there a particular place you had seen them last?

[wishmadeinfire]

In one of the upper ones, near the stove. It might have moved, of course. I would not put it past this place to pull such trickery.

[peggy_carter]

I will surely look the next time I am in the kitchen, thank you for the advice.

[wishmadeinfire]

Of course. If all else fails you could simply wish up some tea that you like - the leaves anyways if you do not want the drink already made up and on a service.

[peggy_carter]

I've had poor luck with that, some rather unfortunate brews.

[peacockherald]

I know we keep some in the Castle, but I have found herbs around the Castle and woods. If you want, you could try some of those to make your tea or flavor it. I have verified their safe use, of course.

[peggy_carter]

That would be delightful, are you sure you can spare them?

[peacockherald]

Yes. They grow wild, so more will grow, and I am sure I did not find all the pockets of them.

[peggy_carter]

I would appreciate it then.

[peacockherald]

Assuredly. I can bring them to the kitchen for you.

[peggy_carter]

That would be wonderful, would you care to join me for a cup?
