Iroh had found that he had been able to help people during the crisis in a number of ways. But one of them had been tea and talking. Just being there for people with a calming drink and an open ear. So he was trying that again now, once again by the base of the fountain.

Between conversations he was sipping his own tea and considering what it might take to open a tea shop here. For however long he was going to be here, that was...

For anyone who wanted to find him, he is near the fountain with a small comforting camp fire over which the tea pot is heating and a pair of large picnic style baskets, one of snacks and one of teas and tea fixings. So that he can have enough for every taste and stay a while for whoever showed up without over steeping the tea.

"Of course you are welcome. Please, have a seat," he said, pouring tea for his new friend to be.

With his approval, G'raha gladly took a seat, thanking him for the tea. "My thanks for your generosity. Have you just arrived?" he asked. Iroh didn't seem familiar to him. Then again, G'raha had not been able to get out as much these days, so it was quite possible that he hadn't seen the man up to now.

"About an hour ago, but I assure you the tea has not been over steeped. I have been changing out the leaves as needed."

"Ah, that's... not really a problem," he chuckled lightly under his breath. This man sure was dedicated to his tea. But the tea was wonderful. He certainly knew how to brew a good batch.

"Well, welcome to Reverein then. My name is G'raha Tia. I don't have all of the answers about this place, but if you have any questions, I would be happy to help however I can," he offered with a sip of his tea, "as thanks for the delightful tea."

"No thanks are needed for the tea, but questions I do in fact have. Do you know how one would go about opening a tea shop of ones own here?"

Hmm, well... That seemed more up Madhuri's alley, having opened a store, "I can't say I have any personal experience with it. I haven't looked into it, but I don't believe there are any particular laws for opening a store. I believe my wife just found an open part of the land and built it there."

"A wonderful thing indeed. What does she sell?"

"Ah, she has a bakery bistro called Lady of Bliss in the shopping district. She's the best cook I know. She has all sorts of desserts and sweets, as well as specials for hungry patrons," He said enthusiastically. He'll always advertise her work when he can. What a good husband.

[OOC: So sorry for the late response. I have not been able to renew my paid due to money being tight until now. Let me know if you'd rather wrap this up and I'd be happy to do so if it's too old to continue.]

((No worries. Your call. My paid probably isn't getting renewed until the December sale >,< so I get that))

"Oh! I will have to check that out!" He patted his own girth with a broad smile. "One can never have too many delicious sweets to go with one's tea!"

His ears wiggled in delight at hearing that. He was always happy to direct people her way. "I'm sure you'll love it. I'm sure she'd be able to suggest certain sweets for the different types of tea as well," he said with a wide smile.

[OOC: Man I feel this. I hope you can get yours soon, too!]

(Thanks!)

"I look forward to that, then. What is it you choose for yourself, generally?"

Giving a slight shrug, "Well, I admittedly don't get things from the bakery myself. I'm usually taste-testing at home when she tries new recipes." Although that said, his testimony is not the most reliable considering he'll like anything she makes. He was not at all picky about what he ate. He got so used to eating like a college grad.

"I do enjoy her cupcakes a lot, though," it's kind of a suggestion?

"Ah. Then you get to taste the best she has to offer, since like tea, food made with love is the most delicious."
