Iroh!
[Penny practically scampers in, looking rather like someone who just hopped off of a motorcycle. For a dead person, she seems very healthy and lively.]
Sorry! It just seems so awkward flying in and hugging people, you know? And once I hugged someone who wasn't from the same timeline as me and that was awkward, so it's good to ask. [babble!] But how are you? How's the tea business?
Thanks, Iroh. Seriously, you're awesome. [She sits gratefully. Running around and spazzing at people is hard work.]
[She tilts her head quizzically.]
The usual would be great. It's really, really hard to find good tea at home. I mean, Kyle tries, but he forgets to use a tea ball or a teabag or anything and it just gets full of gritty, floaty stuff.
I know, right? Thanks. [She sips the hot tea, only to come very close to performing a cartoon-perfect spittake. Fortunately, she manages to swallow her tea before laughing.]
Nooooo, no, no. He's a co-worker and he--this is really awful of me to say this, but he's really terrible at singing and playing the sitar, and he likes doing both of those when he doesn't have any work to do. The poor guy has this tragic love story going on and he never stops singing about his girlfriend.

You're still here! Can I hug you?

[Iroh comes around the counter to embrace her.]
I am hurt that you thought you had to ask.

[He takes a quick look at her new appearance.]
The usual, or something a little different?

It is tragic how many people do not know how to prepare a proper cup of tea.
[He sets a cup in front of her.]
So who is this Kyle? A gentleman friend of yours?

Oh, it's--you've seen a guitar, right? It's sort of like that, but with a really long neck and a roundish body. I'm more of a violin person.

I see. And what is a violin?

[Aaaand Penny draws a blank.]
It's... you know. It's this small, stringed instrument that's played with a bow--a... stick-thing with a string attached. I wish I could show you.
