That's good, it wasn't nearly as fun as the last one, since I could not maim someone.

[That makes him short-circuit for a moment - he's held hands with other people before, but Dan Heng is comfortable, and Dan Feng wants to cut his hand off so he can have it forever, but that was probably bad.]

There's the shop. [It sure is quite charming, in the sunset.] If you order that tea with the chewy things I will kill you.

[rolls his eyes. his bloodthirsty noodleman.]

Noted.

[still handholding tho.]

[Fiend!!! Dan Feng pulls him along with one last, pleased look at their joined hands, and goes up to the counter. The place is deserted at this time, which is just as well, considering he takes this time to roleplay as an octopus, sliding his hands around Dan Heng's waist from behind.]

What sort of tea do you prefer?

As I said, I have no strong opinion... Green tea is good.

[once again just leaning into octopus behavior.]

[frowning into his hair...! Eating it a little maybe.]

You must have an opinion on things. You are no longer a child.

What does being a child have to do wi-

Are you chewing on my hair?

[opens mouth

lets go of hair]

No.

[reaches back to feel his own wet hair.

tips his head to look at dan feng balefully.]

It did not really taste of anything...

[This was like. Important information congratulations??? Dan Feng tries a different angle of attack:]

I like my mouth on you...?

[reaches back

to pinch his cheek]

[???????? Whining????]

Have some dignity! This is childish!

You started it. Just order for both of us.

[wiggling away.]

[A couple of minutes later, a tray with all the implements for making a cup of matcha slides on the table in front of Dan Heng, along with some soybean mochi in a lacquered box. There are also two bottles of radioactively-bright, sunset-gradient-coloured iced tea.

Dan Feng makes to get into the seat across him, before thinking better of it and hauling up a chair with the most Aeons-awful screech, to sit kitty-corner to Dan Heng.]

Ceremonial matcha. And the bottled ones - I'd asked for something similar I've seen on Penacony. The original tea is illegal but it tastes good from what I remember...

[dan heng winces with the horrible chair noise, but...]

Illegal?

It induced reckless euphoria, but it also tasted very good. Like berries and mint. [Under the table, he's running his ankle up Dan Heng's shin.] I do not think this place can replicate the effect, but I hope it can copy the taste at least.

[nudges his ankle with said shin.]

Hm. I suppose we'll find out.

Well what if I poisoned you?

I would never eat or drink anything you gave me ever again.

Oh.

[Dan Feng gives him a blank look that clearly says he has not thought about these consequences.]

That's upsetting.

Less so than being poisoned.

Well, it was a hypothetical question, I love you far better when alive and warm. I mean, I will still love you even when you are sort of dead and cold, like Blade, but you are better like this.

That... really shouldn't be as charming as you somehow make it.

[reaching for a bottle of iced tea.]

You find me charming?

[He get started on brewing the matcha, moving like he's still used to long sleeves, moving imaginary cloth out of the way.]

Never mind.

[watching him. he knows the movements, but he's never done this himself. any ceremony about mundane things isn't something he's had time for in his life.]

Were you ever taught- any? Of the tea ceremonies?
