A/N: Guess who went to Twinings in London today? *points two thumbs to herself* This girl! My friends dragged me there (sort of, I could have said no) and we did tea tasting and I ended up with 42 tea bags - some of them smelled soo good :) So my day out prompted this story, and I know it's not too good, but I can't really think about anything other than tea right now. (I feel so British today)
Jedediah and Octavius were hanging around in the security office of the museum, whilst Larry was taking a short break.
The kettle was switched on, and a mug and tea bag ready for the boiling water.
"Larry, what is that you are making for yourself?"
"I woulda said it was tea, but I ain't never smelled tea like that before." Jedediah answered.
"It is tea, actually. It's a caramel tea - one of my friends has just come back from England and brought back some interesting flavoured tea for me - I don't usually like tea, but the flavoured stuff is really nice."
By now the kettle had boiled, and the night guard was pouring the water into the mug.
After a minute, while Larry let the tea steep, a delightful scent filled the room.
"That aroma is absolutely delectable!" the Roman cried, wafting his hands in an attempt to smell more.
Larry laughed. "Would you like to try some of my tea, Octavius?"
Octavius grinned slightly embarrassedly. "If it wouldn't be too much bother?"
"Jed?"
The cowboy looked away from the roman, who he had been staring at. "Huh?"
"Would you like to try some of my tea as well?"
"Oh, um, sure, I mean, yes please." the blond stuttered, slightly embarrassed that he had been caught.
By now the tea had steeped for long enough, and Larry hand taken out the tea bag. He searched the cupboard for two small tea cups, which he had acquired for whenever the miniatures joined him for drinks.
He used a tea spoon to pour some of the drink into the two cups, and carefully carried them over to the table the pair were sitting upon.
"Here you go."
Octavius took a sip.
"Oh my, this is heavenly!" the Roman smiled, and nodded his head in a slight bow. "Thank you, my liege."
Jedediah also took a sip. "This is good stuff Gigantor." he praised, raising his cup slightly.
"Would you guys like to try whatever tea I decide to have tomorrow?" Larry asked, laughter laced in his voice.
"It would be an honour, Larry."
"That'd be great, thanks, Gigantor!"
