[Valentine's 2013] - Tea Talks

Bracket

The little bell over the door jangled, and Sol looked up curiously. It had been a slow day, what with the snow piled up to just under his windows. Despite clearing a path for them, not many were willing to risk the near-blizzard even for a warm beverage.

A short, heavyset Fennec hybrid of some kind stepped in and hung his jacket on the hook by the door, revealing a soft-looking teal vest with a dark undershirt. His fur was monochromatic, contrasting sharply with the brightly colored hair and piercings. "I'm sorry, it looked like you were open." He glanced nervously around the empty shop. "If you aren't I can find somewhere else to go."

"No, no!" Sol interjected with a smile. "Definitely open, just... slow at the moment. Can I get you something? We have lots of warm teas and coffees to choose from, and I just finished baking about half an hour ago."

The fox nodded and sat at a stool in front of the bar. "I know it's cold, but I had the worst craving for iced tea... Do you have any? I prefer fruitier-flavored ones."

"I have just the thing!" Sol filled up his kettle and placed it on the burner. "I don't use pre-heated water here, so it'll take a couple of minutes."

The two chatted for a bit, first about the weather, then work, and various other small topics. They hadn't noticed how much time had gone by until a shrill whistling made the fox jump almost out of his for.

Sol chuckled. "Just the kettle - she's kind of noisy, hmm? I'm Sol by the way, don't think I'd mentioned that yet. Try this." He strained the tea over some bright magenta tea bags, and once they were fully steeped he plopped a couple of ice cubes into a cup and poured the tea over them, sliding the cup in front of the fox.

"Isil." the fox responded before taking a sip. His eyes lit up. "This is good! What is it?"

"Passion fruit tea with a mango twist." Sol winked. "My Valentine's Day specialty."

Atty, , you have made every day of my life special, every mundane act or word somehow magical. Thank you for being in my life, and being my safe place. I love you, angel.
