"The pond smells like coffee because it is coffee. Today." Susan looked up. "Hello, Buffy. And I'm glad to hear it." She decided to risk it, and took a sip from the cup. "It's rather good, actually."
"Did someone just dump a whole lot of instant into it?" Buffy wondered as she sat down. She wasn't quite sure what she wanted to talk about. Or, that was a lie. She knew what - Merrick-, but she wasn't sure she would. Susan didn't look very scary, but you never knew. She could be plotting to have Buffy committed right this very moment.
"I'm not certain. I'm putting it on the list with dancing lemurs, and tiny bunnies. And possibly, hair colors that change spontaneously in the night," Susan said, lips twitching. "Because heaven knows, there's no way to *make* that happen." She cocked her head. "Why do you think you're not crazy?"

"Of course not, Peter. Not when you've brought tea." Susan sent an amused glance at her cup of coffee. "Tell me you and your friends didn't turn the pond into coffee. Just so I can swear to it, if anyone asks."

Peter looked affronted as he handed Susan a paper cup of tea and offered her a biscuit from a small paper bag. "How precisely would we manage that now?"

"Someone suggested a ton of instant coffee be added. I'm sure it's magic, but it's an amusing mental image; you and your fellow Stickbugs, wheeling in barrels of Nescafe." Susan accepted the biscuit with a smile. "So. How are things, not that you're all back in the dorms?"
