Experience with more than a few variations. [Comes from nursing your mother on her death bed, s'great fun.]

Sadly, it's hard to find herbs I recognise to make the tea I used to from home. I have ginger tea, which can help in some ways. It's relaxing, at least.

[Helps with all manner of aches and pains, but that's not really what Sam needs. If he is, in fact, being honest. Which she doubts.]

[collegedropout]

[He makes an 'ah' with his mouth, considering the reply.]

You think I could buy some from you? I mean, if you don't have a lot, then don't mind me. Just sounds wonderful. [He smiles a bit.] When I was really sick back in Adstringendum, I had a lot of ginger tea.

[Let us not focus on any concern about by odd behavior earlier. :|b]

[therewerefifty]

There's no need to buy it, Sam. We're-- friends, aren't we? [The most small of hesitations, but she tries not to look uncertain okok.]

I'd be happy to share. I don't like to see you looking so unwell.

[collegedropout]

[He smiles a bit, warmed by the question.]

... 'Course we are. Absolutely. We've been through a lot of crap, huh?

[Dealing with Adstringendum and this place, it really forms a kinship, however strong. It's all about dealing with the same stuff. Together.]

I'd appreciate it a lot. Maybe we could have, some... tea meetings?

[therewerefifty]

Tea meetings. [Her smile is a little amused, but it's warm. Tea meetings translates to something more formal than she suspects he means.]

The gardens are nice on the Iskaulit. It might be nice to drink tea there in good company.

[collegedropout]

[He gives a more lively grin — still tired as all hell, but... it's something?]

Nobody better to have tea with.

And I like the garden a lot. I even have a plot there.

[Lest we forget Sam's addiction to gardening in Adstringendum.]

[therewerefifty]

[Never.]

So do I. Though it's small and experimental. I've been learning.

What are you growing? I don't know if you have more to choose from here or less.

[Than Adstring.]

[collegedropout]

Mostly herbs. I do have some kind of... weird fuzzy fruit growing — I've eaten them, but I'm actually not sure what to call them. [He rubs the back of his neck, sheepish.] Don't suppose "Weird Fuzzy Fruit" is a pretty decent name?

[therewerefifty]

[She smiles a little.]

Like... rambutan? What does it taste like?

[collegedropout]

Sweet and... kind of spicy...

[He huffs.]

What's rambutan?

[Hey, he may know an obscene amount of fun facts, but he don't know all.]

[therewerefifty]

Also sweet, and tangy. Though that may have nothing in common with the taste of your mystery fruit. It's... very reminiscent of grapes, if you've had those.

It's also very odd to look at, in the manner you describe. Usually orange to red in colour...?

[Any of that ring a bell?]

[collegedropout]

Oh, very familiar with those. Not so much the rambutan...

These are, um... Kind of change color with the temperature, I've noticed.

[SPACE!!11]

I've been told they're safe, and I haven't... grown an extra arm or anything.

[therewerefifty]

I'm sure you'd notice quite quickly if they weren't safe. Poisonous fruit tends to kill you sooner rather than later.

[Yes, she did say that with the blandest of faces.]

Would you mind if I sampled one when they're ripe?

[collegedropout]

[A+ blandface. Cas would be proud.]

Oh, yeah, definitely. You can stop by the garden anytime for a sample.

[therewerefifty]

[There's a reason they got on.]

I'll make sure to do that. [She smiles. Hesitates, before preparing to withdraw, because she is following Misty about the place.] You're sure you're all right?

[collegedropout]

[He doesn't respond quickly - no, he considers it, truly.]

... If I'm not, I will be.

[A raise of his eyebrows, a 'what can ya do?' smile.]

Thanks, though. For checking on me. I'm not used to it.

[Not from many people. His brother, sometimes, but he isn't really one for constant companions back home other than his brother.]

[therewerefifty]

I understand that feeling. [Nobody ever did until she turned up in Adstring. It's still something to get used to herself.]

Then I hope you will be, sooner rather than later. If it's not something I can assist with...

[She leaves that there. Offers him a smile.] Take care of yourself, Sam.

[collegedropout]

Only if you do the same.

[Somebody around here needs to take care of themselves, right.]
