[they slowly nod.]

Good. Keep that attitude.

[fishingforcompliments]

I will.

[it's a promise.]

[gatonina]

[a promise, then. they idly kick the dirt for a second or two after that, unsure of how to proceed.]

...Hey, um. I know you just got here, but do you want to take a walk?

[fishingforcompliments]

Certainly. Where would you like to walk to, Winter?

[gatonina]

Not much of a scenic route around here... But mess hall's still open if you want to head over there. We have tea.

[fishingforcompliments]

Tea would be lovely. [she offers them her arm] Shall we?

[gatonina]

Let's.

[they will take her arm! and off they go to the mess hall.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[onward!]

What flavor of tea do you prefer, Winter?

[gatonina]

Herbal...? [said like someone who doesn't drink a lot of tea.] If you have any recommendations, I'm open to them.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh! You might like sweet apple tea. I hope we have what we need for it...!

[she'll HUNT FOR THE RIGHT TEA BLENDS.]

[gatonina]

Oh? [they perk up somewhat, curious.] What do you need for it?

[fishingforcompliments]

[are you fucking kidding me SOMEONE MADE A FANDOM BLEND OF IT holy shit. i need to buy some of this immediately. anyway.]

If we do not have it already blended... I believe it uses black tea as a base, and I have tasted apples, rose hips, and cinnamon in it. I am sure there are other ingredients I am not as familiar with, but we can probably get close to the taste.

[gatonina]

[oh my god i want it wtf]

Rise hips...? [this is the tone of someone who has never heard of rose hips, and is thinking of literal roses.] That's a thing?

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes! They are a part of the rose plant that can be used in both medicine and teas.

[gatonina]

Huh! I guess you really learn something new every day.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes! ...though, I suppose if you have not heard of him, they may not be here in the pantry, correct?

[gatonina]

[they hum.]

B does most of the cooking, so maybe there's some in the back of the pantry and I just haven't noticed. I'm more of a... microwave it and go sort of wizard, so...

[fishingforcompliments]

"Microwave"... that is one of the more "modern" appliances, is it not? How does it work?

[gatonina]

It's super easy. You stick something inside, and punch in the time it will take to heat up. That's about it.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh! That sounds foolproof!

[even she couldn't possibly fuck that up....... she wants to try it]

[gatonina]

Right? It's super easy to use. Want me to teach you?

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, please!

[gatonina]

Awesome. I show you how to use a microwave, and you show me how to make that tea. Deal?

[fishingforcompliments]

That sounds fair to me. It is a deal.
