Tea Time

[littlesun]

Characters: Chibi and Ienzo
Content: TEA.
Location: Cafeteria
Time of Day: Afternoon
Warnings: None



Chibi isn't necessarily sure about the whole tea thing; he doesn't have hands, it seems like it'll be a lot harder for him to manage than it might be for Ienzo. It'll be nice to have another constant, though, now that they seem to be moving around.

He could, at least, help set up the table; he wasn't as good at carrying things as Pinkie Pie, but he thought he was doing pretty well. So far he'd managed the dishes. Food would be trickier, given the weight.

It's as polite as they can manage under the circumstances and that will have to suffice. There's no sense in asking for more, and Ienzo has always been willing to take care of matters such as this when he needs to. It's only polite, and there's little way that Chibi will be able to manage the task.

Fortunately, it doesn't take long before everything is properly served. Though they may be alone there's little to say they can't enjoy the moment as it stands.

[littlesun]

Chibi tries to eat politely; it's kind of hard when you're a puppy. Hands make things so much easier; he'll have to think about a human form like his mother has, sometime.

It's nice being a baby wolf, though. People seem to like you right away and you get a lot of help and petting.

[wefallinsilence]

Fortunately, Ienzo is willing to offer a certain amount of leeway for the lack of hands. Not to say that the attempt at politeness isn't appreciated, of course. It's merely that Ienzo is well aware of the folly that would be present in trying to hold Chibi to the same standards as a more human guest.

He doesn't offer polite conversation. Not at first anyway. He isn't certain what would even be appropriate under the circumstances. Would it be best to keep to yes or no questions? He certainly wouldn't want to make drawing answers interrupt the overall process, after all.

[littlesun]

Chibi can't exactly offer polite conversation either; he can't draw and eat at the same time. It's kind of inconvenient, but it's pretty restful, too. He settles back after a while and draws a picture of some of their friends; who should they invite next time?

[wefallinsilence]

Who should they invite? Ienzo can think of one candidate off the top of his head, but after that, things get a little less well-defined.

"Aeleus, at the very least. Beyond that, I suppose we could see who wanted to come?"

[littlesun]

Chibi draws a picture of his mother; he'd want to invite her, as long as she was interested at all. After that, he guesses it should be open.

[wefallinsilence]

Chibi's suggestion isn't surprising in this least. It might make things a little bit more difficult, but that certainly isn't any good reason to not include someone.

"Do you think we ought to have a limit on how many people can show up?"

[littlesun]

Chibi considers it, then nods. It seems like with Pinkie Pie around a lot of things turn into parties, and he wouldn't want people to not get food because they hadn't known how many people they were feeding.

[wefallinsilence]

It's a valid point, for all that Ienzo isn't aware of the full extent of the agreement. Still, he knows Pinkie Pie about as well as one could reasonably expect under the circumstances and there's no sense in turning everything into a party.

"How many would you prefer?"

[littlesun]

Chibi scribbles down a Six. Six people wouldn't be too many to keep up with and it would give people the chance to talk.

[wefallinsilence]

Ienzo nods at the number. It's a manageable number, and one that it won't be any sort of trouble to cook for.

"We may need to have more than one meeting, but I'm sure that's not much of an inconvenience."

[littlesun]

Chibi barks. He'd like to have more than one meeting; hanging out with different people is the best part of being on the satellite. The food's another good thing, even with all the weird stuff going on, so he can't say that the people are the only good thing, but they're the best.

[wefallinsilence]

More than one it was, then. After all, Ienzo certainly couldn't find it in him to say no to Chibi. Not as he was, at any rate, though he had no doubt that someone else he'd once been might have been perfectly willing to, given a decent enough reason. But that life is past, and so there's no great reason to do so.

"I'll let people know once we're done here, then."

[littlesun]

Chibi nodded, content, and looked back to the food. It would be good to eat with other people who had hands; he didn't want Ienzo to feel obligated to feed him. He'd have to do something nice for Ienzo to make it up to him.

[wefallinsilence]

Ienzo didn't feel particularly obligated to feed him, precisely. Though the food might not have been easy to serve without hands, that didn't mean it couldn't be eaten without hands, or so Ienzo hoped.

"Is there anything you'd like?"

[littlesun]

Chibi shook his head. Tea was fine for the moment.

[wefallinsilence]

Then tea it was. It would have been rude to eat without Chibi also doing so, and he was quite certain he'd be able to find something to do with it. For now, tea was sufficient and there was certainly nothing else that needed to be said
