what am i doing
[sits in the pantry surrounded by PILES OF TEA BOXES
looking vaguely perturbed
:'(]
looking vaguely perturbed

no subject
He sees the boxes before the kaiser and starts rifling through to see if they have his favorites.]
no subject
[giving a box of UNSATISFACTORY earl grey the stink-eye]
no subject
[He looks up from rifling around in one of the boxes and jumps a little at the sudden leatherbara <:[ ]
Right... kind? They seem to have quite a few...
no subject
I don't think some of these exist.
[the box he's holding is something like INFERNAL SEASONINGS HERBAL BLENDS: BLOOD AND TEARS so. yes.]
no subject
Or, well, he knows someone who might.]'His'?
no subject
silently offers him the box]
Ed's.
no subject
Ed...? Oh! I think I've met a.. few of those there.
What kind does he like?
no subject
Not always the same...but it has to be real. And loose-leaf.
And expensive.
[irritable collar tug]
no subject
Oh, well, I've got some different loose leaf teas I found. I'm not sure how... expensive any of them might be, but..
no subject
...maybe I can check.
[he's gotten good at identifying the Right Tea by now]
...wait.
Who are you?
no subject
[These teal-haired people usually seem to be familiar with his surname, so...]
Ah, you can call me Ryou.
[awkward]
no subject
...me too.
[wait]
Well. You can't call me that.
But it's my name.
no subject
[He seems a bit more wary now, since he's assuming you're saying something like YOU'RE NOT WORTHY OF CALLING ME BY NAME or something]
no subject
...
...
I'm not sure, actually.
[it's been a while since he talked to people other than ed at enough length to give a name....and he's a lil wary of giving out his full name in case there's somebody Looking For Him]
Names are difficult.
no subject
[it's hard, having a roommate with the same surname as you and no first name. or a first name that's also your surname. or ? ? ?]
Well, what does your friend usually call you?
[obvs the dude you're getting this tea for is a buddy]
no subject
[slight eyebrow-raise]
He calls me Ryou. Occasionally "mutt".
[he figures it goes without saying that neither of those work]
no subject
I just assumed... mm.
You don't need to let anyone push you around. I'm sure he can get his own tea.
[though he doesn't really understand how a bara dude in leather has ANYONE push him around
like you're one to talk, dingus]
no subject
[He sort of...cocks his head to one side.
like a frickin puppy]
It's one of my duties.
I don't mind it. And it's preferable to the alternative.
no subject
[ok, he's FINALLY noticed the collar, but he's too nice to do anything but glance at it uncertainly \:s]
no subject
Yes he does.
[considers.....]
...besides. I think it's affectionate.
no subject
...
[oh.
It seems like he suddenly gets it now and rubs the back of his head, looking at the ground intently.]
U-uh... what about this?
[He picks up a bag of sencha. it's PRETTY expensive.]
1/2
[LOOMS A LITTLE entirely by accident]
no subject
...this could work.
[although Ed usually seems to like FANCY BRITISH TEA]
no subject
He flinches away slightly and holds out the tea. sorry ed, british tea is CHEAP SHIT and all the expensive teas are japanese/chinese]
N-no, no problems! I- just. Sorry.
no subject
...
[He takes the tea and steps back slightly, sitting down on a box behind him and looking slightly perturbed.
(he hasn't really scared someone when it's not at Ed's behest in a while)]
...hm.
[small doge sigh]
no subject
To be fair, this guy seems pretty skittish, even if he's not THAT much smaller than kaiser
weight-wise, at least.]E-eh...?
[He relaxes slightly when Kaiser pulls back and sits down, but he looks pretty unsure.
...
He starts rifling through the tea again to occupy himself, nervously hoarding all of the herbal stuff.]
no subject
[He rests his elbows on his knees so he can put his chin in his hands, watching Nerf attentively.]
no subject
Ah-aha, don't mind me, I'm just a bit, er. Jumpy, I suppose.
[the scary person he knows can't usually LOOM over him at least ;_;
He focuses on, apparently trying to find some specific kind. Maybe he's got his own....................... duties]
no subject
...
...are you getting this for someone?
no subject
[He looks at his assorted collection, frowning. It's a bit too much to fit under his arms.]
no subject
...I can carry some.
[sometimes Ed doesn't want him UNDERFOOT all the time (literally underfoot kaiser get off the damn floor) and he suspects now is one of those times]
no subject
[he's not sure how thistle will react to him bringing random dudes home
but if Kaiser wants to take some of the stuff falling out of his arms, he's free to]
no subject
he has a Helping instinct now this is dangerous for a kaiser]
Might as well.
