Usually, yes. We do have other kinds of tea, but we don't brew it as often.

[ the old men are always, always drinking green. ]

I think I would like to try it your way, though.

[recession]

[ Not gonna lie it took me a long time to warm up to non-Asian teas. It's me, I'm the old men. ]

We can try a bit of both. Always good to broaden horizons.

[ They can go to TEA HOUSE. One respite in the city below the sea: a few rooms of ecology stolen from the land above. A Tea Garden is lush with plants, small trees, and an abundance of flowers. Iron tables and chairs are set up, offering a place for food, drink, and gossip, or even love. The tea garden flows straight into a Grotto where a small waterfall spills into a waist-deep pool of perpetually circulated, filtered water.

What do you mean offering a place for love. Anyway. He's picking up a nice tin and looking it over. ]

Have a preference? Straight, with milk? [ Abominable sentence for those who only know traditional Asian teas. ] Sweeter?

[naginota]

A good idea!

[ help i never even saw that part of the description. why this.

anyway he's just looking at daan like o: ]

You put milk in your tea?

[recession]

Yes. Straight tea is also nice, but black tea is pretty good with a bit of milk with sugar. It's like a softer version of a coffee, although I hear that depending on the strain, the caffeine can be pretty equal.

Never tried it?

[naginota]

Ah, no. I did try coffee, at that gas station, but not with milk or sugar. It was quite strong a flavor, but I didn't dislike it.

[recession]

Black coffee can be an acquired taste. Considered an adult drink by some although they start drinking it pretty young in other nations. Tea is a bit easier, if you ask me...

Do you prefer sweet?

[naginota]

[ gazes at the weather. maybe i need the black coffee today. ]

Not too sweet, I think, but I wouldn't mind trying it with some sugar. Imanotsurugi may like it better that way.

[recession]

[ He can't with these names. He decides on which tin to take then, checking the scent and quality of the leaves inside. ]

A comrade-in-arms, I presume?

[naginota]

Mm. Imanotsurugi is my partner - the protective sword of my former master's lord. We've fought through many battles together, long before we were ever summoned like this.

He likes sweeter things, sometimes.

[recession]

[ He has to take a moment to comprehend what that means, but he thinks he gets it. The TKRB equivalent of being rl friends before you get into online shenanigans. ]

Sounds like a pleasant relationship.

[ Hmmmmm. After a moment of consideration, he will make Iwatooshi a standard London fog. Lower sweetness, but still a latte nonetheless. ]

[naginota]

[ help yea you're not wrong. ]

It is. He is one of my closest friends.

[ takes a sip... he lights up in surprise. ]

I thought it might be sweeter. What an odd taste... but I don't dislike it.

[recession]

I purposefully chose low sugar to ease you in a little bit to the whole deal.

Just one of a varied spread of teas enjoyed in Rondon.

[naginota]

You are most thoughtful, Daan-dono!

...What is this tea? I think I'd like to bring it back for my master, if possible. They're always open to trying new things, especially if it's something we've enjoyed.

[recession]

[L... ] Rondon fog, but if you think herbs might be a bit much, just the earl grey will probably do.

[ Me having to go back and fix this because London doesn't fucking exist even though it also kinda does and it's weird because Rondon is kind of a mix of the UK and France but I GUESS??? This is good enough. ]

I'm glad you can bring back something out of this that you'd consider enjoyable.
