Y'know. I remember when I thought four months was gonna be too long of a time to live here. That there's no way this'd go on for even close to a year or something insane like that.

...Guess I was wrong, huh?

Oh. Tea shop's open again. Sorry about not warning anybody. I'll be around today.

[[ooc: Hello Luceti! Four long years ago today, a ninja became part of the experiment.

I feel old.]]

[He's questioning just what these other kinds of tea were. Green, Yellow, Oolong, etc. (I did research just for tea. This is normal.) Well. It's certainly interesting. He knows kinds like Orange Pekoe, Earl Grey, Red Rose, etc.]

...

[He's never asked for recommendation before, so all he knows is to just order one.]

... I'll try this one...

[He pointed at the yellow tea.]

[corrinesbell]

That's a good choice. I'll be right back.

[fateofafencer]

[He watched her as she went. When he was sure she disappeared, he looked back at the table and took a deep sigh. He hated this feeling of anxiety. If he comes here more often, he's sure he won't feel as apprehensive and even get used to this place. He also has something else in his mind now that he has nothing to do, except wait.]

[She's not gone long. Sheena returns with the requested tea in a teapot, and an empty cup. Once both are on the table she lifts the teapot and pours its contents into the cup for him]

Lemme know what you think. Not too many people order that one.

[This was a little interesting. She would stay to hear his opinion. This sort of attention really shouldn't go to waste.
The cup wasn't to his expectations, but he won't have too much trouble holding it.
The aroma was actually appealing, as it smells like a flower. The scent reminded him of someone. He wish he could smile, but he's tied down by the memory.
He gives a light 3 second blow before tipping the cup toward his lips.]

[It certainly tasted different from other tea he's had. When he set it down, he gave his quick judgment.]

I'm not sure why this one is seldom ordered. The aroma is sweet and the taste isn't bitter.

[corrinesbell]

Most people come in here and order their favorite, or ask for something new and exciting. That's not really either one, I guess. But I'm glad you like it.

[fateofafencer]

New and exciting...?

[What could be new and exciting in a tea shop? ... Fruit flavoured tea?]

What would those be?

[corrinesbell]

It's different for everybody. Some people think plain old green tea is new and exciting.

[fateofafencer]

[You want him to take it, don't you?]

Green tea?

[Well. Everything here is free. Might as well try it.]

... I might as well try it then; see what everyone finds so exciting about green tea.

[It's new to him. So. Let's see the exciting.]

[corrinesbell]

[She'd never force a customer to try something!]

Exciting? I just think it's normal...but if you really want some, I'll bring it out.

[fateofafencer]

[I said "want", not "force". I'll be forcing him though.]

I don't see a reason not to.

[He took another sip from his current tea.]

[corrinesbell]

Okay. You wanna finish that one first, or d'you want some now?

[fateofafencer]

I guess I should finish this first.

[Can you tell he feels settled?
He has a question though, so time for a change of subject.]

Do you always have this much free time?

[He asks well... Because she's giving all this attention to him.]
