[sup, just appearing behind you and loudly exclaiming next to your left ear]

DAANMARK!

[whatsthehammer]

[JUMPS LIKE TWENTY FEET I MEAN JESUS WHERE DID YOU COME FROM SERIOUSLY]

I DIDN'T DO IT, I SWEAR!

[wrath_ofkhan]

Didn't do what? Haha, you're so weird!

[would give you a manly clap on the shoulder, but you're several heads taller than him, so he'll just settle for giving you a relatively manly clap on the arm]

How's it going?

[whatsthehammer]

[kdfhlkfg observation score for this one is zero, nothing until it's right in his face]

[but broclaps are good! broclaps are awesome!]

It's-- aw, man, don't do that, I thought you were Norge comin' over t'rag about somethin'.

[grabs a cup and waves it around to show you]

An' this guy's got drinks! Hot ones! Have ya ever seen anything like it?! Lemme tell ya, I been around, but this? This's somethin'!

[wrath_ofkhan]

Huh? 'Course I seen hot drinks before-tea's hot,no matter what's in it!

This stuff ain't tea, though... [makes a face] ...eurgh, don't tell me you wanna drink it!?

so, so sorry, internet died on me (it's been doing this all week...)

[whatsthehammer]

Sure, why not? Smells pretty good, so how bad could it be?

[sniffs it tentatively, then holds it out]

....an' what's a tea?

1/2 and that's fine! Boo, internet. It must have something against Vikings.

[wrath_ofkhan]

[gingerly takes the cup and sniffs it, then wrinkles up his face and holds the cup back out]

It smells awful! An' it looks like... eh... I ain't drinkin' anythin' that looks like that. Knock yourself out, though; you can tell me how it-

[wrath_ofkhan]

[what was that last thing you said?]

..."What's a tea"?

It must, because my first theory was that it hated college students...until it followed me home. :|a

[whatsthehammer]

Yeah? I think I will! Between this an' the not-drinkin', though-- your loss, man!

[takes the cup and takes a nice big sip and WOW, that's bitter]

[totally doing his best not to react]

Y-yeah! A tea! Never hearda it!

[takes another sip and tries not to audibly gag]

oh dear

[wrath_ofkhan]

Whoa, you okay? You're makin' faces. I told you that stuff looked like trouble!

An' how can you not know what tea is!? Everyone drinks tea! It's all my stupid brothers'll touch!

[whatsthehammer]

'm- 'm fine! I can take it! 's just weird, is all!

[GAME FACE GAME FACE]

[seriously, man, he is going to drink the hell out of this coffee, come hell, high water, or tea. he shakes his head.]

Well, nobody I know ever drinks nothin' called tea. 'zat like wine at all? Yanno, like when ya heat wine up in winter, like.

[wrath_ofkhan]

Ain't nothin' like wine! Wine's made with rice, tea's leaves. And it don't get you drunk!

There's lots of kinds. Depends on the leaves you boil to make it. Black tea an' green tea an' other kinds. I don't drink it much, though... mostly tastes like hot water. Real expensive, fancied-up hot water.

...Seriously, man, put that stuff down; it might give you a stomachache or somethin'!

[whatsthehammer]

Inna sec, just one more sip!

[BUT THIS IS THE START OF A WONDERFUL BAD ROMANCE D:]

[...but that's a fair point. he'll just nurse the coffee for now. especially because:]

.......an' what else do ya put in it? Leaves, an'...?

[wrath_ofkhan]

Uh... usually it's just leaves. But everythin' winds up gettin' boiled anyway, so some people put stuff like dried orange peels or bits of dried flowers or spices in. I've had it with butter before, and I think that's my favorite way-it ain't so watery, and it makes it taste more like normal food.

[mental sigh of relief as Denmark stops drinking that damn stuff. He can't teach him how to fight a bear and release his innermost potential if he's doubled over somewhere in awful pain, after all]

[whatsthehammer]

[sure, it'll be a twofold adventure! full of self-discovery!]

But that sounds disgustin'! When ya put butter in water, it gets all runny and melted. An' it sure don't keep it goin' sour any faster!

[yeah, come to think of it--]

Maybe you oughta be the one drinkin' this stuff!

[wrath_ofkhan]

Me!? No way! You nuts!?

An' sure, you gotta' melt the butter first, or else how would you drink it? And you gotta' ferment it, too, else it makes you sick!
