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.

"I'm sure I could. But could you find company more pleasant than me? Now that's the question," he said as if he was completely serious.

"You're the one who adores sharing tea with people, Uncle. I prefer to take mine alone."

Yes, let's just pretend that's what this is about. It almost feels normal, almost enables her to ignore the nagging frustration and humiliation of the admission she just gave him.

"Ah yes, I suppose I forgot you had that particular fear," he said, casually, waving a hand dismissively. He half turned, refilling his tea cup., watching her from the corners of his eye. "Sharing tea with someone is one of life's true delights, but perhaps that is because I am not scared of what others might learn about me over the course of a simple conversation."

AAAAAAND probably another /wrap

"It's not-"

For a moment, the rage flares back to the surface, but after a moment it simply settles and she narrows her eyes.

"Enjoy the stupid rice cakes."

With that, she turns on her heel and stalks off again. Part of her felt like she was only proving his point. She opted to ignore it.

TY for the thread

He watched her go, sipping her tea.

Interesting. Very interesting...
