Lee followed behind Elizaveta, mostly silent, save for the sniffling and random hiccups here and there. He was incredibly grateful to his friend for being so kind to him, though he felt bad for making her put up with his dreadful mood. He knew he was not fun to be around when he was like this, but he desperately needed the company and the cheering up

My old-man senses are tingling! Someone needs advice!

"Just an old man enjoying his tea-time," came a kindly, merry voice from a quiet corner of the kitchen. Of course, most of the day was tea-time for Iroh, when he could get away from his Pai Sho playing strenuous duties as the only Strategist aboard the ship.

Humming happily, he came around the corner holding his still-steaming and ever present tea pot. "Elizaveta," he smiled warmly. "What a lovely surprise! And who is your..." he paused, noting the tear-stained face of the rather gloomy-looking young man, "...friend?"

In his mind, Iroh was already beginning to plan his tea-metaphors. He was always perfectly willing to give advice, whether asked to or not.

ooc: Kyaa!!! I love Iroh! Yay! Lee gets to interact with him some more!

Lee looked up at the sound of someone's voice, quickly trying to wipe his face and hide all traces of his sadness. It was a poor attempt, because Lee was not good at lying in any sense and wore his heart on his sleeve. His lip trembled slightly as he tried to smile at the man, though it look forced, and his eye belayed the truth to his feelings.

"I-I am Rock Lee," he said, his voice hoarse. He cleared his throat, flushing lightly and dropping his gaze. "It is a pleasure to meet you, anou..." He trailed off, looking up at the man in question.

EVERYONE needs Iroh time. It's healthy.

Elizaveta blinked, then gave Iroh a big smile. "Iroh!" She then paused. "Wh-what are you doing on this ship!?" She suddenly gasped, "Perhaps... do you work here too?" Again she brightened. "That's wonderful! I'm so glad to see you!"

She turned to her poor friend, giving him an encouraging grin.

"Lee, have a word with this fellow. He's wise, you'll surely benefit from it." She said, making her way to the counter to set her things down.

Ah, this is what I get for being late. Old men take over the kitchen.

Too faint to be heard over their conversation was the sound of humming from down the hallway
