Yzma walked in the door, tossed her light purple sash across her shoulders to try and look elegant. At least, as elegant would be for a creepy old lady, she waltzed in the shop looking at the different items. Now to find something that would be good to work with for the lab, she thought to herself as she looked at the different types of bottles. Yzma picked up some vials and collected some in her hand basket.

A Chemistry Set caught her eye, she tried reaching for it, but she was a bit too short for the shelf. Grumbling to herself, she put down her basket to try and reach for it again. Jumping up to grab the box, Yzma stumbled and lost her balance, clinging to the chemistry set to make sure it didn’t break. She bumped into Iroh accidentally. Thankfully the box was still safe in her clutches.

“Ack, stupid kids these days. Places things too high,” Yzma glanced up and saw the elderly man. “Ah, my apologies, I didn’t see you there,” she spoke, holding the box with her arm and straightening out her dress with her other hand.

When Iroh was bumped by the frail Yzma, he was more relieved to know it wasn't one of the Fire Nation military figures (especially his brother, Fire Lord Ozai). At once, he bowed his head and softly said, "I apologize for my intrusion." He put the altered spoon on the counter and offered his hands out. "May I help you with that, m'am?"

Yzma waved nonchalantly, “Oh I’m fine, don’t worry about me.” She put her basket back on her arm and carried the chemistry set box in her hands again. Well at least he is being nice, but nonetheless she had to find accessories for her lab. Yzma glanced over at the spoon he was looking at earlier. Curious, she saw it had holes in it.

“What were you looking at there?” Yzma asked, her eyebrow lifted, wondering if a spoon like that had any use for something.

Iroh smiled politely to Yzma, noting the box at hand, "It seems you have some busy times ahead of you. I can certainly understand." He immediately saw her eyes wander toward his reinvention before she could even ask about it. He acknowledged her curiosity before the question had finished.

Iroh held up his makeshift infusing spoon and explained its new-found unique qualities, "This is helpful for taking something which must be immersed and fused with water but not floating freely. The holes allow water to permeate through back and forth like the ebb and flow of the tides, and the contents are still intact within the spoon." He held it in the light so he could see tiny beams coming through the various punctures. "It is a perfect device for my tea shop. Brewing so many pots and so many blends can be a bit much. But with this, I can make various teas by the cup and everyone gets their right blend!" He chuckled a little at his own brilliance with the matter.

Yzma shifted her weight while carrying the box. She nodded at him and got closer to look at the spoon. “Ah, interesting, I don’t mind a cup of tea myself,” Yzma glanced up at the man. She realized that she did recognize him as the guy that was going to host the teashop. Very good then, it’s nice to have someone dependable making some decent tea.

“I understand with brewing it may vary on the boiling point, depending on the type of tea you’re making,” Yzma pondered looking at the spoon, “But I can see how this can be easier on yourself. You wouldn’t have to waste too many pots.” She scratched her chin and gave a small smirk. An acquaintance should come in order then, “My name is Yzma,” she placed the box between her arm and held out her hand, “What’s yours?”
