You know what I still haven't managed to find in this place?

A proper cup of tea.

Comments

[assassino]

Which one is that again?

[thehistorian]

It's the finest drink there is.

[assassino]

It's a good Florentine wine, then.

[Teasing...]

[molotov]

Are you not capable of making it yourself?

[thehistorian]

It's not coming out the same. I don't think the leaves are high enough quality.

[payback]

If you want a job done right, you're better off doing it yourself!

[thehistorian]

I've been doing it myself-- it's just not coming out right.

[20thcentury]

Not if you wish for it, no. It's always off.

[thehistorian]

I haven't been wishing for it. I've just been trying to make it.

[whichwayyoulean]

Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that you're an eighty year old woman. I'll knit you a few doilies for your room.

[thehistorian]

Oh, bugger off. Tea is practically a national drink. Haven't you ever been to England?

[psych0p0mps]

you sure complain a lot

[NOT THAT SHE'S COMPLAINING. she actually finds it funny.]

[thehistorian]

I do. It's one of my best qualities.

[wheatdos]

[Oh, It's not often you hear a common accent. And a guy who likes tea? ]

You enjoy tea too, don't you mate?
Well, hehe... I happen to know someone who makes a phenomenal tea.
She won't tell me how she makes it, say's it's magic, but... well magic doesn't exist. I happen to have some left over if you're interested.

[thehistorian]

Really? Yeah, that would be -- that would be lovely! [oh my god, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HIM. you are a kindred spirit, clearly.]

Who is it that makes it? Maybe I could get some from her, I wouldn't want to take the last of what you've got.

[cricketycricket]

Oh dear, that won't do at all. If you'd care to come up to my room, I'd be more than happy to make you one.

[thehistorian]

Really? Your tea is coming out all right? That would be lovely! What kind have you been brewing?

[unnaturalpause]

Not many here seem to grasp the idea of appreciating a proper cup of tea, let alone know how to make one unfortunately.

[thehistorian]

Least of all my roommate. It's more than unfortunate-- it's barbaric, really, downright uncivilized.

[saccharosium]

Do you suck at making it or what?

[thehistorian]

No. The ingredients are off, perhaps, or it's something in the water. It's not me, I assure you.

[precede]

Was it the milk first or the tea?

[thehistorian]

You're not trying to engage me in a faux-philosophical discussion using tea metaphors in place of the standard chickens, are you?

[stalkershiki]

Well, if you want, the WildKat mostly does coffee, but we could also serve you tea if you come over at some point!

[thehistorian]

Are you actually experienced in serving tea, or is just the generic sort you serve to customers with the bag still in and pour gobs of sugar and cream in to disguise the taste?
