[Up on her tip toes now. Come here you damn teapot.]

You hnn let your little brother use your room?

[bropane]

[ he's rather late when he realises weiss being in a pinch so he gets up and heads to where she is, grabbing that teapot for her before she can.

you're adorable, you tiny thing, you. then again, tadashi is just gigantic. ]

Can't help it. [ he laughs. ] I just end up spoiling him no matter how hard I try not to.

[heiroglyphs]

[She huffs, tapping her foot as he grabs the teapot for her.]

I didn't ask for your help.

[bropane]

[ ah... he's used to this kind of personality. he's not putting weiss in a box or anything, but he is thinking that that kind of display was very similar to something go go would say.

he lets out a chortle before raising his arms to chest level, displaying his innocence. ]

Hey, I just wanted to help. Even if it was unwanted.

[heiroglyphs]

Well if you want to help so much, you can make the tea.

[PLEASE.]

[bropane]

Easily doable, [ he nods curtly, though he has to ask-- ] This isn't a trick question or some kind, is it?

[ is he getting shot for saying yes or what? he might have a guess of what kind of person weiss might be, but weiss is still a girl. aka unpredictable as hell. ]

[heiroglyphs]

Nope.

[She closes her pantry and steps back.]

It's all yours, go ahead.

[bropane]

If you say so, [ he says in a sing-song tone. and he proceeds further into the kitchen and starts making tea, putting some water into the pot first before boiling it. ] Pardon me for intruding.

[ he seems to have an easy time making the tea, as if he's done this millions of times. so ten or so minutes later, he's got chamomile tea in the pot. ]

All ready to serve, Miss Schnee.

[heiroglyphs]

[Huh, that was actually a lot easier than she expected it to be. She may have been watching more intently than the average person. Maybe a couple mental notes.]

Oh, already? Thanks.

[While Tadashi was making the tea, Weiss fetched two mugs. Thankfully these were in a more easily-reachable place.]

[bropane]

It's easy when you're just making them from tea bags, [ which he happily provided. ] but if you're making them straight from tea leaves, things get a little bit more complicated.

[ that said, he heads to where the mugs are to serve them, placing the teapot nearby for refills later on. ]

[heiroglyphs]

[She takes her mug and heads back into the living room because what's the point of having a princess throne if you don't use it, after all.]

Maybe I'll start drinking tea more often.

[She won't, but maybe.]

[bropane]

[ he follows her to the living room and takes a seat across her, nodding when she makes a comment about drinking tea. ]

It's good for when you want to stay up late to study, too.

[ not that. you study here, ah... ] I guess it's useful for a nerd like me.

[heiroglyphs]

I've always preferred coffee for late night grinds. Not that it's happened here, school has been pretty boring.

[bropane]

Ah...

[ now for the question of the century. ]

Can you make coffee?

[heiroglyphs]

[Mr. Hamada you seem to be insinuating something.]

Of course I can. I wouldn't be caught dead without my coffee machine.

[For emergencies.]

Though getting something freshly roasted is always better.

[bropane]

[ he truly was. :) ]

Guess you like the coffee at the place I told you about, huh?

[heiroglyphs]

...Yeah, it's really good.

[And she almost doesn't want to admit it.]

Even if its kinda hokey.

[bropane]

[ huh! never heard that kind of description for that place before.

at least it's not insulting... not that he works there or anything. ]

Hokey's not so bad, is it?

[heiroglyphs]

It's different.

[She smiles into her mug.]

[bropane]

[ well, it's good that she doesn't seem to think it's a bad place. it's a hipster cafe, for crying out loud, after all. ]

There are a lot of different things out here. We're lucky that there's a bit of familiarity in most places.

[heiroglyphs]

[Hipsters are weird, okay?]

Hasn't made it any easier to get used to this place. I don't know if I ever really will.

[bropane]

[ he's a hipster?????? ]

I wouldn't suggest getting used to this place, to be honest.

[ except for him. this is all he has, so it's okay for him to feel at home and get used to things. ]

[heiroglyphs]

[But where's the lie???]

You're right, but it would be nice to at least be able to relax every once in a while. Seems like every time I let my guard down something terrible happens.

[Like that time she got possessed and tried to disembowel your brother.]

[bropane]

[ ... :( ]

I wish I could comfort you in that aspect, but that's a tough one to make you feel better about.

[heiroglyphs]

Don't worry about it. I'd be a pretty poor Huntress if I couldn't handle some stress.
