It was certainly hard to say whether or not felines shared the slow development into a maturing community like the felines, but the Dahlian’s offer was politely turned down by the smaller of the two guests. With a smile and a nod in the direction of the cat, the golden optime found a seat opposite Tsukiko and lifted the mug to his lips, carefully testing the liquid’s temperature before taking an experimental sip. As long as he had never been given the opportunity to taste the real thing, he would not know what he was missing. That worked well for him, though he did wish for a more genuine experience than his experimental herbal tea.
The woman seemed to like it, but he was unable to guess whether or not her words were sincere. That was not overly important though, and so he merely smiled his smile and took another sip of the hot liquid. The woman’s words caused his lavender gaze to shift with interest as she revealed that she had brought tea from her homelands. It was clear that he was interested, but he was also aware that it certainly had to be a precious, limited quantity that she should be careful with. ”That’s kind of you,” he replied with a smile, loving the thought, but not about to leap for the opportunity. ”I’d be willing to make a trade.” There was no way he could accept any less, as it was no doubt valuable. He placed the cup down on the wooden table and leaned back in the chair opposite her, head titled slightly to the side as he considered her and where she came from.
”What brings you to this part of the world then, Tsukiko?” he eventually decided to ask, hoping it would not be an awkward question that would force an unpleasant tale out into the light.
