tea with the demon and the witch [OPEN]

CHARACTERS: Sebastian Michaelis ([personal profile] cutlery), Sieglinde Sullivan ([personal profile] grunehexe), and YOU

DATE: Today?! I guess?!

WARNINGS: None

SUMMARY: Sebastian received tea and a teapot for his holiday gift, so what better way to use it than to share it? That, and it's a prime opportunity to socialize Sieglinde. It's lessons time.

[ Whether you received an invitation to come to tea or just happen to be an especially dedicated explorer, you're likely to find the local apothecary's first floor slightly rearranged. After a bit of bargaining with the owners, Sebastian had managed to convince them to allow for a small gathering. While Sieglinde's little apartment above the store was well enough, it was certainly not suitable for what Sebastian had in mind. He had received a gift of tea (earl grey, of course) from ALASTAIR, and not quite having a taste for it himself, well. He had another idea on how to use it.

It was perfect for a lesson for the young lady.

A large table is set up for tea, including a plethora of tasty treats all made by Sebastian himself. He won't be sitting to join, since it's not proper for a butler, but he'll happily stand to the side of the room with the teapot at the ready to give people tea as they need a refill. There's no need to ask, since he's a butler of perfect principles, so just as you seem to be wanting more, he's there to refill your cup.

In his mind, this is an occasion for Sieglinde to meet others and socialize with them, and he can gently give lessons on proper etiquette, but it might not be in yours. Feel free to strike up a conversation with the butler quietly playing host, though he'd much prefer you speak with everyone else! ]




ooc ; Welcome to a tea party! This log is OTA, so feel free to tag in even if you don't have CR with Sieglinde or Sebastian. He's too polite to turn people away, and Sieglinde is probably just excited to meet more people... Feel free to make toplevels and use this as a mingle post. I'll be responding to every toplevel at least! ♥

Everything that Sebastian makes is quite good, after all.

[Sieglinde nodded surely about that- and it was true! Sebastian's tea was superb... she just had never had tea before his, so she couldn't accurately compare.]

Do you recommend something in particular?

Something I recommend? Hmm... I'm fond of cold drinks in general, [since ice is a rare luxury for her] but I do enjoy lemonade! It's a drink made from lemon juice, water, and sugar, so it's rather simple.

Lemon... ade?

[Lemon in her potions for sore throat and the like she knew, but a whole drink? Both lemon and sugar?]

It must be a strange taste...

I suppose it may sound strange if you've never had it. [But no weirder than a kid drinking beer tbh...] I wonder if there are any lemons here... It's so simple a drink, I'm sure even I could make it so long as the ingredients are here.

[Alisha, you are vastly overestimating your lack of culinary skill.]
grunehexe: (gaze)

[personal profile] grunehexe 2016-01-16 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you ever do so, I would be interested in tasting it.

[Unbeknownst to Sieglinde, she might be getting in... too deep...]
1300yen: ((she thinks it's permanent))

[personal profile] 1300yen 2016-01-16 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
[!!! It's too late now, she's determined to find some lemons and make lemonade just for Sieglinde.]

While it won't be much in comparison to this, I promise to let you know the moment I have lemonade!

[personal profile] grunehexe 2016-01-19 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I shall await such news eagerly.

[Said with a firm nod and a new mouthful of cake.

You're in for this now, Alisha. That lemonade better be something!]
