it's for your own good, they always say!

[ He's arguing on the phone in his office at HQ, drop by at your leisure and pick on him give him a cup of tea steal his internet see what he's yelling about.

You've heard the news, digital law is becoming strict in the UK. Help England realise this is a bad idea! ]

For the last time already, if you have any bloody bright ideas, then tell them!

[ When people are shouting, that usually means that you do not speak to them. Big Brother lesson number 14. Instead, she walks in, places a pot of tea down and attempts to leave unscathed. ]

[iseeunicorns]

[ He's got his arms crossed and chair turned and is still grumping-- but when he smells the tea, he blinks.

And turns the chair around, just nearly missing that retreating figure, and stands up quickly! ]

Liechtenstein? Where are you running off to?

[liechtentan]

Oh, England. You saw me.

[ Quick, excuse time--- ]

Vegetables! There are some in the garden. I need to collect them.

[iseeunicorns]

[ One glance to the teapot, then back at her. He has cups and a tray all ready, but he frowns when he hears that. ]

Stop right there. It's winter. Unless you've started an indoor garden, I highly doubt your crazy brother will want you freezing your fingers out there.

[liechtentan]

[ ... No fair, England. You outsmarted us. ]

That is true... Big Brother would be upset if I were to catch a cold. We've always been very healthy together.

[iseeunicorns]

[ Didn't rule an Empire without brains, baby. ]

...At the risk of everyone else's lives, I'm sure.

[ Sniff. ]

Ceylon, Liechtenstein? And here I thought you preferred coffee.

[ It's a compliment. Now with moar tsundere! ]

[liechtentan]

[ She offers him a bright smile-- who you callin' baby :| ]

Oh, I do! But you seemed rather upset today, England, so I thought you would like some fresh tea.

[iseeunicorns]

[ Baby, baby, don't be dat way. Would you prefer dollface? ]

I'm not upset. Just frustrated.

[ And he can be a gentleman; stepping out to set a chair in front of his desk and looking over. ]

Thank you for the tea. Have a seat. You ought to have some of what you've made as well.

[liechtentan]

[ /tells big brother!! ]

Either way, you didn't seem happy, so...

[ Oh! Well, she should have expected this. Ever the gentleman, iggy-chan ]

Thank you, England. [ sits. smiles. ]

[iseeunicorns]

[ I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME YOU TEASING MOE. But, there you go. Seating tiem and going to get some cups and a tray. And some biscuits. That he didn't make! ]

No need for that. You were the one who brought it.

[ And he starts preparing a cup for her. ]

Was I that loud?

[liechtentan]

[ ;) ;) ;) /fluffs skirts. ANYWHO she offers him a gentle smile ]

I could hear you from down the corridor, England.

[ >8C Drink yer goddamn tea wummin. And he hands it to you on a saucer, totally knowing the right amount of milk and sugar, darn it. Enjoy! And now he'll make his own, stirring it in his cup. ]

It couldn't be helped. They were yelling more than I was.

[iseeunicorns]

[ Time for teasip. And he suddenly pauses, eyes going wide for a moment, before he has some more! ]

... this is delicious.

[liechtentan]

[ I'mma drinkin' it, babe, no fear. She holds the saucer all daintily and lovely, like a proper english lady. Who's been watching films? Not her, no no no. At his pause, she smiles ]

I am glad you approve! I tried hard.

[iseeunicorns]

[ 8)... ]

Yes, well a little effort goes a long way in the preparation of Ceylon leaves, you know. While they aren't quite as strong as a second flush Assam, it's still necessary to be careful for flavour--

[ Why yes, he will break into a lecture about how to prep tea, are you ready for this?! ]

[liechtentan]

Ah, England, perhaps you should have a biscuit?
