is there somewhere i can get a decent cup of tea

i find myself missing at least a few of my daily routines already

and i don't intend on giving up too much of the life i am accustomed to.

Comments

[sweetlies]

i am quite aware that there are many types. my butler ensured i have a varied palate when it comes to tea. however i prefer strong black teas, and naming a few i have had i have had ceylon, earl grey, keemun, assam, chai, white darjeeling, and uva milk tea.

[thegreatninja]

I do love Chai. You should have that. Black teas you steep for 5 minutes or so.

[sweetlies]

providing whatever cafe i find is capable of making a good cup of chai.

[thegreatninja]

Do you not want to make it yourself.
Alternate question: would you pay me to make you tea?

[sweetlies]

less want and more that i cannot. my butler handled making the tea.

[And meals. And everything else.]

i am only given a biweekly stipend but i would not say no.

[thegreatninja]

You can always learn.
How about this. Make me your last resort when you really need tea and all else fails?

[sweetlies]

how pedestrian.
i suppose that will be acceptable.

[thegreatninja]

I'm doing this for you.[And money.]

Be nice.

[sweetlies]

learning to make my own tea? yes, i suppose i may have no choice but to do so but it remains pedestrian.

[What is 'nice?' Is it sweet?]

[thegreatninja]

Why pedestrian?

[sweetlies]

why not unless you prefer i simply call it dull instead but i do try to keep a better vocabulary than the masses.

[thegreatninja]

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[sweetlies]

i know precisely what it means.

[thegreatninja]

If you say so.

[sweetlies]

pedestrian, lacking inspiration or excitement. dull. or a person walking along a road. clearly the former is applicable here.

[Taste his sass.]

[thegreatninja]

If you say so.

[sweetlies]

my, you are a pest.

[thegreatninja]

At least I'm not rude.

[sweetlies]

you can hardly expect everyone to be nice at all times.

[thegreatninja]

Yes but are you ever nice?

[sweetlies]

to my fiancee but otherwise, no. or at least very rarely. my profession does not allow for kindness.

[thegreatninja]

What profession is that? Being a royal pain in the butt?

[sweetlies]

watchdog to queen victoria. what ails her, endangers her, displeases her, i eliminate.

[thegreatninja]

Do you talk like this to the queen? If so you should be nicer to a princess.

[sweetlies]

i owe no allegiance to anyone but victoria, i hardly see why i should be nicer.
