If anyone has been contacted by Poe Dameron about being turned into a bird...

He is fine. He is well. ~~For the time being.~~ [deleted]

I'm taking care of it...

And I truly do apologize for his...excitement, for lack of a better term.

If anyone is upset, just contact me directly.

Thank you.

Wait, he chose to become a bird?

Either he is very brave or reckless to an admirable extreme! {Or should that be "humorous extreme"?}

Yes...I'd rather not go into it again.

Both..it might be both, but regardless, he's apologized and I...have to deal with a headache.

Tea is soothing for headaches. Even metaphorical ones can be cured by a small respite and a nice cup of Earl Grey.

I don't think I've had tea yet, but I take it Early Grey is a flavor?

We must rectify that! Earl Grey is a flavor, yes, and it consists of a black tea base flavored with oil from the rind of bergamot orange with a little grapefruit and lime thrown in. It is very refreshing.

[She's trying to understand what 'black tea base' means...but she'll just pretend to know what it means.]

So..you put the tea and all that together? In a pot?

The ingredients are generally dried and allowed to steep in a pot of hot water. You can add lemon or lime to the tea after it has steeped or even sugar if you want it sweeter.

Thank you. That's very useful information. I've never brewed tea either, so...something new to learn.

I'd be happy to brew you a cup sometime. I'm terribly English and tea is part of our lives every day.

Funny, someone thought I was English.

You don't have to brew me a cup, Sir. It's okay. I can figure it out, no need to waste your time.

Do you have an accent by chance?

I would not consider it a waste.

I don't know? Would you consider this an 'accent'?

And Sir, no, it's okay. Truly, I can manage. Thank you for the offer, though.

Why yes! That is indeed an English accent by my world's standards. {His voice is gentle and friendly.}

If you change your mind, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am Vincent Phantomhive.

That's what I was told. I really hadn't thought much about it.

I'm Rey, and yes, I will keep your offer in mind. Thank you, Vincent.

You would sound right at home anywhere in the British Empire.

No problem. I wish you luck on helping your friend.

..I'm not too fond of Empires.

[Yeah, back story there, but not really in the mood for details.]

Thank you. I have helped him and I think he knows how upset some of us were, but...it should be fine.

Why is that? My family has supported the British Empire for decades.

{As Watch-Dogs of the Monarchy.}

Hopefully he has learned his lesson. If he wishes to fly, we must find him a ship?

Because the Empire I know of doesn't want peace, it wants planets to bow to them and destroy anything that gets in their path. [Her tone takes on a bitter quality to it at that last part.]

Hopefully, but I'm not his care taker. The ship he needs is back home. The shuttle that's currently available, while nice, won't cut it.

And by ship, I mean, space ship.

{That...isn't an entirely wrong description. Except for the planet part.} Empires like to grow; they feed on smaller nations in order to do so. All you can hope for is a compassionate ruler.

I thought that might be what you meant. The idea is remarkable to me.

There is no compassion for a tyrant that is at the helm of building an empire.

Oh, okay good. Just making sure.

You might be right. Then again, such emotions can be feigned at the opportune moment.

I am beginning to believe anything is possible. I never thought I would be in another world.

{There's a soft sigh, perhaps its best to not talk about empires for the time being.]

Neither did I, yet here we are.

Didn't think magic was real...but...it is. So...oh well.

{Vincent is generally kind (in his own way) and he might be well-meaning seventy-five percent of the time, but... He is not one that is easily categorized. He is certainly ambitious and he can be downright ruthless towards those that either stand against him or work for him. One of his servants commented that he would not even think to shed a tear if one of them died.}

Oh well? Is that all? I'd like to try it out for myself.

Possibly? I don't know how magic works, but it's something that is real. I can't control it, so I might as well just...learn to live with it.

If you don't know how it works, how can you know you can't control it?
