it smells like good tea. )

Maybe it’s because I’m from an Eastern European country, and Russia had a hold of us for a while, but tea was important to have at least once a day. After meals, with dessert…

( she sets the paper bag down, and leans back against a counter, waiting for him to get the tea done. )

It reminds me of home.

[ It's lucky that the blend he brought has some petals, then, though it seems that many of the options this time of year do. Fruit blends should be more common when it's warmer, he imagines, maybe closer to late Spring. ]

I think that's normal, [ he says, giving the blend a little while longer to steep properly in the hot water. ] We all seek the familiar. The good sort of familiar, especially.

After a little while, he takes both mugs and pours the tea onto both of them. ] Honey?
