Near is in the kitchen, trying to go about his normal routine. Except his hands are shaking so hard that he can't get the tea to pour into the cup. There's hot water all over the counter.

You're spilling on the counter.

*He'd entered wanting some tea for himself.*

I can't do it.

*Setting the pot down, and stepping back.*

This isn't the kind of exchange I do.

*He pours the tea.*

Elaborate.

I don't often give tea to someone for no reason.

It's my tea. I made it.

It's poured. Go drink it.

I'm having some too.

Come here. On the counter in front of me.

*Near approaches, cautiously, and slides his hand along the counter surface.*

andletters January 23 2009, 08:39:15 UTC
Here.

*One tug to the edge of Near's sleeve, to bring his hand closer to the cup, and he lets go and steps back.*

Don't do anything foolish while you're like this.

I have no intentions of letting myself get any more carried away.
