Sophie knew that Rikku didn't like your typical strong black tea, and so had pulled out another tea for her, one with licorice. It was very sweet, and a little almost spicy, what with the cinnamon, almost too sweet for Sophie. But with a little milk, and a little sugar for Rikku, it would be perfect.

She'd run up to the kitchen to fetch hot water for the tea, and was just returning with the tray--milk, sugar, and teapot, as Rikku knocked on the door. "It's open," she smiled at Rikku, coming to a stop, her hands rather full. "And Turtle may come in, if you're willing to hold her."

She did not want another kitten attack on her room. She'd gotten cleaned up from the last litter Al had had on board, finally. It was nice to have a little semblance of order.

"The second she attacks anything she'll get kicked out. You hear that, Turtle?" Turtle just meowed. "So what kinda tea is it, Sophie?"

"Licorice spice," Sophie answered, deciding to magnanimously put aside the first statement until at least some tea was had. "Nice and sweet, just for you," she informed her friend, clearing off a space on her work table by shoving a neat stack of fabrics aside, and sliding the tray down in its place.

"Sorry there's not much room to sit." There was one chair, and the bed, and that was it. They'd manage, it was alright.

"It's fine! I can relax on the floor." There was less stuff to distract Turtle with anyway.

Rikku plopped down, setting Turtle snugly in her lap. "And thanks, Sophie. I think I kinda need the stuff." She giggled nervously, rubbing at her temples. "Boys, I swear..."
