[It's been three weeks. Three weeks since Raph had gone home. Leo and Don have been working on clearing out Derek's old room, finding a temporary place to store the humans belongings until he came to get him. Robert was moving in, and they couldn't keep the two rooms sealed up forever after all. Life had more or less returned to normal, even if their brother was gone, Something they'd need to adjust too, since he might never return. Then a couple of days ago, they woke up to Mikey gone too. No forewarning, no notice, no anything. It's just like they were never even there. The news wasn't spread this time, despite the family knowing Mikey had a lot of friends.

Despite knowing they were fine at home, away from the dangers of Luceti. Mikey's disappearance has Leo in a bad mood. He's been more temperamental, more moody lately. Currently he's back in Robert's room, spot dusting with a swiffer-duster. Despite the fact that the room is spotless already. He'll head back to the living room at what he thinks is a noise by the front door though

No, save it for later. We have tea in the kitchen. [They're not desperate for tea after all. He grimaces at the thought of synthetic tea.]

Probably lost most of it's benefits too. [Tea is more than just a drink after all]

The synthetics, yes... th-though in the case of the h-hydroponics, I would like to think they are at least s-superficially similar to other tea strains.

... Perhaps individual nutrient counts have been altered, though, d-due to the differing genetic traits...

[But Robert is used to seeing tea as really only a drink, so he's not seeing what other meanings Leo might have for that statement.]

[Right, have to remember that most plants on Robert's world were pretty much wiped out. They did the best they could, with what they have.]

I was talking health benefits. Some teas have been known to help with some issues. [He's not sure what, but it has to be good.]

[Robert is distrustful of claims like that...] These are certainly plants that contain useful compounds, but generally those c-compounds can be distilled into a more usable form...

... That being said, the genetic diversity here is... s-significantly higher, and that alone is... helpful, in terms of encouraging useful traits.

[Hey, these claims are from humans that have been drinking tea for many many years.]

Definitely is. I'd like to try your home tea sometime, though.

N-Nothing from Terra ever... shows up here, in the shops... [It's frustrating, actually. You'd think that something would, but Robert never sees anything from his time period. It must be all so advanced that the Malnosso forbid it on principle.]

I h-have had to request things directly.
