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.

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?

[peacockherald]

I would be delighted, Miss-?

[peggy_carter]

Carter, Peggy Carter, and my I have your name?

[peacockherald]

Vanyel Ashkevron, Miss Carter. But Van will do fine, I know my name is a bit odd to pronounce.

[peggy_carter]

Quite a bit indeed, but lovely none the less. It's quite...regal I think. Van, it's a pleasure to know another aficionado of tea.

[peacockherald]

Ah, thank you. I think my mother was going for that when she named me.

And I wouldn't call myself an aficionado, per say, I simply have come to enjoy the beverage. So I am a casual indulger, I think.

[peggy_carter]

Even a casual indulgence can be a respite from the world. Tea is, in some ways, an escape.

[peacockherald]

A good drink can be, yes. I have come to enjoy the abundance of such things here. They were so very scarce in my world half the time - for me at least.

[peggy_carter]

Mine as well, or rather the era I come from. Things were on rationing and just seeing sugar and flour so freely offered here almost seems gluttonous.

[peacockherald]

Rationing? Did your people have a bad harvest or was it something else?

[peggy_carter]

It was a war, many products were limited to the general populace to ensure our soldiers had what they needed.

[peacockherald]

Ah, I see. My country is lucky - we are not in out right war, as of yet, though the Karsites no doubt wish it.
