[ he shows him!! it's sh*rlock h*lmes. the same one he was reading earlier in the week, though it seems he's much closer to being finished with it, now. ]
Would you like to borrow it when I'm finished? [ teasing, a little. ] Hello.
Not at all - you'll have to tell me what you thought, when you finish.
[ mystery bookclub!! temenos tilts his head back to look at him where he's sitting, calm and placid smile in place as always, though there's just a touch of worry in his eyes. ] We've an advantage in being trapped here, I suppose. Perhaps a cup of tea while we're waiting about may do well for your throat...?
Ah. Perhaps you might consider yourself lucky for it - you do not want to know the amount of memorization I've had to do in my career. [ it is a truly ghastly amount ] And besides. It's a collection of short stories - so we can talk about them piece by piece.
[ which sounds nice. it's... familiar, actually, and there's a very, very brief moment where he seems a little like he might drift off into something distracted? but he snaps out of it fairly quickly. right. ]
Tea, yes. I'd like that. Margaret introduced me to something called a matcha latte, earlier this week...? It was quite good.
Far more exciting than hundreds of volumes of ancient scriptures.
[ but, ah. the way he frowns does not escape temenos' notice, and he drops it beyond that. really, he... doesn't want to think about that right now, either, actually.
matcha it is! what despair they're so fine ]
Perhaps they've a pastry or something of the like, too? Or a parfait.
[ something soft... ] Sweets and tea pair well together.
Ah. [ he glances to throné doing throné things, and smiles, a little more fondly than normal since she's not looking. ] You've hit the nail right on the head. Crepes are a delicacy of New Delsta - it's one of the things they're famous for.
[ when he comes back there's a pillow in his spot to sit with. c: he will wait very patiently!!! leaning back and reading his book in the meantime, though temenos does watch kazuki to make sure he's okay to shuffle over there. ]

If you don't mind. I like reading mysteries, sometimes.

[ that's different, and the idea makes him pause, frowning at the floor. ]
Mm, matcha is good. I can order for us.
[ the robots can make it and bring it to them it's fine. ]

Perhaps one with raspberries.
no subject
I'll ask for raspberry, then.
