It's always a good time for tea.

This is not actually a true statement, because there are very many times when tea has no place at all in what is happening. It's also been proven that there are people who do not like tea at all

Lucy does have tea.

For her, not for him, but still, there's tea.

"Hullo, Ed."

He looks up; after a moment, he gives her a polite, guarded smile.

"Hullo, Lu."

Now the tea would be useful, of course, to give him something to do, something to fiddle with. The end of his pencil will have to work, tapped absently against his lips.

"How are you?"

[iustus_rex]

"Fine, thank you, and yourself?"

Formal words. If it hurts that he's using them with his sister, he doesn't show it.
