Ah-- no, um. I got a little overwhelmed, you see, and bought several, but then I couldn't decide which you might like best, so... I arranged them all in a box so you could try them all.
[He smiles, drumming his fingers on the table between them.]
You're welcome, and I'm glad. It was truly a learning experience, but now I've a bit of a personal interest in it. Perhaps I'll have you give me some lessons, sometime.
[Momo, of course, is jazzed about this. Because look. So many people support her and her strange interests, but few even consider trying to share them.]
Don't get too excited-- I'm afraid I can't drink very much of it, myself, so my interest can only go so far. I'm very sensitive to caffeine, but... Well, I figured, if it's something you're so passionate about, it certainly couldn't hurt to do some reading.
Are there? I had read of an... African, I believe it was, plant called-- ... [He makes a face while he tries to remember how to say the word.] Rooibos? But I couldn't entirely conclude through what little research I'd done if it was formally a tea or not. [Please teach him, Momo-sensei. Get it, tea-ch.]
Oh, that's a red tea. Yes...there's several similar plants. White teas have very, very low caffeine content, and we can test them to see how that affects you. Herbals have zero caffeine, if you get the right herbs, and I have most of those.

Avocado toast, and let's try their local tea?

Do you have any other plans for the day?

[And she wasn't the type to try and wheedle it out of her.]
no subject
I'm sure she'll have something delightful in store for you.
no subject
[Ironically Momo has the delightful stuff in mind.]
She's...been really good to me lately.
no subject
[His smile remains.]
That is excellent to hear.
no subject
Yeah. She's...got a lot of good energy. I'm glad we're getting this time together.
no subject
As am I. Strange as the circumstances may be, and loathe as I am to personally take vacations, this feels a bit like a very unorthodox one.
no subject
Even if I wish we were back at school.
no subject
I am the same. The lack of structure to my day without classes is... befuddling.

[He looks over the box of tea.]
...Compiling tea, for the past many days. I had no idea it was such a versatile thing.

[SHOCK.]

Ah-- no, um. I got a little overwhelmed, you see, and bought several, but then I couldn't decide which you might like best, so... I arranged them all in a box so you could try them all.
[And he had an entire conniption over it, too.]
no subject
Again, thank you. I'm truly touched.

[Iida, what have you done.]
no subject
Then I suppose I'm your pet tea project, for now.
no subject
[Congratulations. Happy Birthday to Momo.]
I won't be too strict. Promise.
no subject
I am in your hands.
