For my own reference - are there any good tea shops to be had in this city? I don't seem to have stumbled across one yet.

I've seen one just a few doors down from the bookstore. Folkehaven, is it? Forgive me if I can't remember the name of the tea shop. I haven't tried the tea, but it's always busy. I like to watch the people.

There's a small garden in the courtyard, very nice for reading.

[piscestruth]

Thank you - I'll have to drop by and have a look for myself, though it sounds lovely.

[sonvisage]

I can't promise it, but if you tell the taller of the two old men that Miss Silk sent you, there's a good chance they won't charge you.

[She's thinking. Have a little noise. And then.]
Winter! That's his name. Josiah Winter.

Oh. We haven't properly met, have we? You can call me Miss Silk if you like, or Iolanthe. Both are equally welcome, as are you.

[piscestruth]

Thank you, and I don't believe we have. Jyuushirou Ukitake - it's a pleasure.

[lestrangestone]

I'll second the recommendation for the tea, but the clientele is of an undesirable sort.

They do deliver.

[...]

The name is [HEAR THE DISTASTE.] Tea Saucerers. [They ought to die for that alone. But that would stop the tea.]

[piscestruth]

I suppose I'll see for myself before passing judgement.

The name is... a bit much, though, I must admit.

[lestrangestone]

[That's kind of a 'nod-of-agreement' noise.]

Mm.

[It's so disrespectful.]

I am Bellatrix Lestrange. Might I have the pleasure of your name?

[SHE IS BEING SOCIAL. IDK. YOU DRINK TEA. YOU SEEM INTERESTING. YOU AREN'T A NATIVE. ALSO SHE BROKE HER ROBOT. SHE IS L-LONELY.]

[piscestruth]

[Bellatrix? Being /social/? TERRIFYING. Too bad Ukitake doesn't know better]

Jyuushirou Ukitake - it's a pleasure to meet you, Lestrange-san.

[internecineowl]

[There is a bit of static, and then a pretty obviously mechanical voice.]

I haven't seen an especially good tea shop around, unfortunately. There are sometimes decent blends at the found goods store, though?

What sort of tea are you looking for?

[piscestruth]

Hm. I tend to like greens - matcha in particular, though... most sorts of tea are fine with me.

[internecineowl]

Haha, I'm beginning to believe I've been locked up in my shop too long, if I've missed all of these wonderful tea shops.

Then again, I may simply have different tastes than most. I do enjoy greens as well. Matcha is lovely.

Now I am beginning to miss home, again.

[piscestruth]

All worth investigating, I suppose.

Home is...where, for you?

...private

[infidus]

Have you found a tonic to improve your cough as yet, Ukitake?

[private]

[piscestruth]

You seem terribly concerned about my health for an enemy

[private]

[infidus]

That's probably because I don't necessarily consider you an enemy.

[Which is to say...]

Well. I don't necessarily consider you at all. Still, it would be very anticlimactic for someone of your age and ability to die from something so common as an illness.

[Not that he cares, mind you. It's just an observation.]

[private]

[piscestruth]

Your concern is appreciated.

[It's not. And Ukitake doesn't care if Aizen knows it]

There's a nice tea shop a few blocks down from the found goods store, as well. They have a large selection of teas and the staff are knowledgable and friendly.

Ah, good to know. Thank you!
