" We do not have time for a proper ceremony," lamented Lady Manami, "not that foreigners would know to expect such."
Percy said, hoping it wasn't rude, "Much more interested in simply getting tea into me. Thank you."
Lady Manami regarded him with amusement. "Sensible boy." She passed him the tiny cup.
Percy sipped, eyes closed, happy.
It was perfumed and quite grassy in flavour but warm and necessary and comforting. Percy drank gratefully. "
