“You’ll just feel it.” The_Mad_Hatter replied to Shuwen as he hummed and waited for a few moments before opening the lead of the teapot to inspect the leaves. The aroma of the tea leaves was very soothing for him, and he was quickly enthralled as soon as the wolf hair gradually poured the milk into the mix. “Finally, we are almost done!” The dwarf giggled.

The duo continued to work on the milk tea, with Ishi just providing little assistance as possible to avoid the liquid turning into a wreck. Soon enough, it was done, signaling the start of the long awaited tea party.

“You know,” The_Mad_Hatter took his cup of tea close to his nose to savor its milky, sweet aroma. “You are quite the patient person.” The dwarf giggled, followed by a wholehearted sip on his tea cup. He couldn’t hide the fact that he was enjoying his share. “For you to be able to keep your head intact while being with someone who is clearly as mad as the Hatter.” The petite paused for a bit, as if an idea crossed his mind. “Oh wait. Crazy people don’t admit they are crazy. Forget about the last part.” He chuckled, blushing like crimson as emptied his cup. Giddily offering his cup to Shuwen, Ishi would sport a wide grin that rivaled the Cheshire’s, and a pair of wide rainbow-hued eyes that clearly showed that he was as mad as the Hatter.

“One more please!”

The unexpected tea party would continue so long as they have tea and goodies. Though they would most likely only have unintelligible discussion about random things that didn’t even make sense, The_Mad_Hatter would still try to make this party fun. Or atleast for him.

Ishi’s response wasn’t a particularly helpful one; the main reason he asked questions like that was because he wasn’t able to “feel” it, but explaining that to the Dwarf was obviously much easier said then done. Fortunately, that wasn’t going to be an issue this time because Ishi himself was there to inspect them, and determine whether they were done. As that was absolutely no help in learning how to do so himself, he was a little irritated at that, but he swiftly decided it was probably better for him to count his blessings and keep his mouth shut.

Gingerly, he took a sip, and had to fight a bit to avoid spitting it out. It had been a while since he had tea, but he hadn’t forgotten the taste, one that he would have preferred to avoid. Puckering his lips to try and deal with the taste, he attempted to swallow it as quickly as he could, though there was little he could do to cope with the after taste. Ishi fortunately didn’t seem to notice, and seemed content with his own cup. That was when the Warden started to talk, in a much more serious tone then he had before. He complemented Shuwen on his ability to keep calm, despite the strenuous circumstances of putting up with a crazy person.

“I’m used to putting up with the whims of others.” He admitted ruefully. “I figured it was better then making a scene or anything. Hey wait-” Needless to say, the continuous shocks and pressure were beginning to get to the much, because he was suffering from two simultaneous cases of delayed reaction. The first was that Ishi had just admitted he was crazy, and had apparently been stringing the Monk along to some extent. “Oh come on! Don’t do stuff like that on purpose!” He quickly downed another sip of tea, gulping it down before the taste could permeate his mouth too much. It was then his second case of delayed reaction hit him; the food and drinks of the world of Elder Tale had no taste, presumably to them not being programmed in. All the food tasted like soggy rice crackers, while all the drinks tasted like water. The tea ought to have been no different, so why the frell did it distinctly taste like tea? “Wait… what the… HUH?!” However, it seemed Ishi had already had his fill of serious conversation, and had gone back to speaking nonsensically, after headdesking, Shuwen simply attempted to keep the Dwarf entertained, even as his mind reeled at the revelation. What makes this tea taste like tea? What makes it so different then anything else people have made? Alas, figuring that out would require a bit more time and effort on his part.
