mmm, tea

"Do you think I should try out for swim team?" Andi asks her sister.

"I don't know, do you want to be on the swim team?" inquires Bella.

"Maybe, I don't know. It could be fun, and I'd get to be in the pool a lot."

"Then sure, go for it." Bella bites into her grilled cheese.

"This is the most welcomed I've felt all day."

[pandion]

"Everyone else is falling down on the job then."

She snorts.

"Lucky you found us," says Ethan.

[pandion]

"The Redcoat Welcoming Committee!"

[palmofyourhand]

He laughs.

Robin grins. "Yeah, you're a special bunch, you are."

[pandion]

"I promise not to steal your tea and throw it in any harbors."

[palmofyourhand]

"And if you do, you'll just have to tell her about your mother's favourite tea shop," says Ethan.

[hold_infinity]

"Is there even a harbour close enough to throw it in?"

[pandion]

"Not really. There's, like, ponds. If you go way south and I think a little west and a little bit into Mexico there's the Gulf."

"All right. My tea is safe," says Robin. "Now what's this about a tea shop?"

[pandion]

"Oh! Mom gets her tea from this one store and it's already Redcoat-approved," Andi gestures at Ethan, "so apparently it's not, like, secretly inferior Yankee tea or anything." She names the shop and its location.

"Good to know," says Robin. "Thanks."

[pandion]

"You're welcome! I wouldn't want you to go into horrible tea withdrawal."

[hold_infinity]

"Yeah, and neither would anyone else," says Robin.

[palmofyourhand]

"Are you very scary when you're in tea withdrawal?"

[hold_infinity]

She grins. "You bet."

[pandion]

"What happens, do you get weird undercaffeinated paranoia and start trying to stab people?"

[hold_infinity]

"Nah, I just get grumpy. Terrifyingly grumpy."

[pandion]

"Terrifying grumpiness! I'm scared!"

[hold_infinity]

"You should be," laughs Robin.

[pandion]

"I tremble in fear that you will grumble at me and, um... rebuff social pleasantries. It'll be horrible."

[hold_infinity]

She snorts.

[pandion]

"I'd never recover. It's a good thing I told you about the tea shop."
