[ Here's Wanda, in her kitchen, working with a lot of various ingredients. Doing what? Well, stay tuned to find out.

Her device is being levitated by unseen wisps of scarlet magic, and her dyed-red hair is in a messy side braid, complete with athleisure wear. It's a chill kind of day, apparently. ]

If you're relatively-ish new here and you like tea, let me know. Why? Because I've recently discovered how fun it is to make tea blends from scratch, so I'll make you a small batch of whatever favors you like best. It might take me a while, but it'll happen. Sort of a 'welcome to this weird ass place, here's some tea to enjoy between all the Stuff' thing.

[ For those who haven't met her before, her accent is Southeastern European — would be most commonly mistaken for Serbian for those familiar with that accent (or one similar). Between her years here and this whole convoluted mess back in her original universe of being dead for five years and then revived, she's physically in the 29-31 year range, but if you did the age math with just the calendar years, add about five to that. She's gained some perspective on what it would be like to be an undead creature like a vampire, who could appear young but actually be about 500 years old. Life is weird, okay. She doesn't think about it too hard anymore; her brain would implode, probably. ]

And, on that note, for those who I haven't met: hi I'm Wanda and I've been here for over four years. No, this place doesn't make any more sense the longer you're here; you just kind of get used to it.

[ The key words there being 'kind of'. ]

Now that sounds like a nice way to spend a day.

[ Have a smiling Harry who just plants his chin on his hand and grins foolishly at the screen. ]

It is pretty fun. And delicious. [ She returns the smile. ] Right now I'm making some for us, if you want to help or give input.

While I am not 'relatively new' here, I do find myself always in the seeking of very good tea blends. Therefore I believe I am willing to take advantage of this offer if you choose to be so kind as to extend it to others who are less freshly off the metaphorical gummy ship.

[Because really, he could use some new good blends and he doesn't trust his Nobodies to complete shopping to his proper taste.]

Hmm, I do believe that is the sort of thing I would love to do. I'll be right there.

[ And he grins as he rises from his desk, smiling softly at her, grabs his bag and staff, and steps to a ring set in the floor, speaking a word.

He vanishes, and a moment later, he appears in the house, near her, stepping forward to set down his things and open his arms to her. ]

Hello, love.

'Relatively new' could mean different times to different people; I'm not the government asking for more proof of stuff. The 'ish' is a great loophole. [ Which is why she said it! ] So, yeah, for sure - what are your favorite flavors?

The government would have a hard time asking of me that which I do not desire to give. Not even proof.

[He could take the time to acquire whatever proof he needed and forge to his taste.]

Caramel. Beyond that I will attempt whatever is provided mixed with such a thing.

[Well that catches her interest - and for once for entirely innocuous reasons. She has had the time to really appreciate tea here for the first time in her life. She's had the chance to appreciate a lot here for the first time in her life.]

I've not been here terribly long - I certainly appreciate a tea. Something with a strong scent, nothing fruity. What would you recommend?

"Hey." Her smile is bright when she sees him there and with her phone now off and set aside, she greets him with a hug as well. "No offense to your office, but this is a way better setting to finish any work in. While making tea. Also I'm here too I guess." Ha.

I have an amazing track record of telling various governments where they can shove stuff. Don't I know that feeling.

[a half smile.]

That's easy to add in. No allergies or anything?

Harry hugs her tight and kisses her, hard, and passionately and long. And when he breaks it and she speaks, he grins.

"You being here is the best part of that little grouping, my dear. I may not get work done, but I do love to be where you are. And I admit to curiosity about the tea."

He glances at it, and arches an eyebrow.

"What do you brew, favorite witch of mine?"

"So far, I have the blood of my enemies, ground up bird bones, graveyard dirt, water that was left out all night under a full moon, and algae." Yep she's gonna just leave that there for a few long seconds after delivering it with a straight face.

"It's hibiscus, cranberries, and walnuts, so far."

Allergies are beyond me. I assure you, they are not to be concerned.

Harry grins. "Those first ingredients would taste like chocolate if brewed right. Did you get moon-blessed ivy?" And yes, he is entirely serious.

"But those second ones sound pretty good too."

"No ivy, I forgot. But real chocolate, or American chocolate with its five million cartons of sugar?" Why do Americans fry everything and add too much sugar to everything else? She will never understand. "I'm thinking of adding orange to this mix too."

"Real chocolate, like the Belgian stuff, before they mess it up to sell to Americans." He waggles fingers at her.

"Mmm, I do like me some citrus."

"Oh, that's good then. Also about the citrus. I have..a bunch of other stuff lying out here if you want to toss stuff in." She looks over at the pretty full space. Overboard? Nah it's fine.

Harry grins. "We should probably sort some, and make several pots of tea, of different kinds, to see what we can produce. Yes?" He doesn't think this is overboard at all.

Have you seen his drawers full of ingredients downstairs? Fulllll.

"Yeah, I think we have enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool." Well, once it's made that is, but details psh. "I know I want some cinnamon-y kind too for sure. What's your favorite?"

"My absolute favorites have to be either citrus blends or mints. Flavorful ones. I like to really taste the ingredients, not just a little, you know?" He grins at her.

"Cinnamon is good, too."

"Ha, yeah, watered down tea is...an embarrassment, really. We can start a second batch and make it minty or citrus-y and go from there. It's not like this stuff is at risk of running out yet." She uses her magic to sort out a couple of piles of those ingredients.

He nods, making a face. "Yuck."

He grins. "Sound stood to me. Setting up a second pot of water to start heating, he starts putting ingredients together, grinning at her now and then as they work.

"I like doing things with you, even when they are not sexy things."

She continues by making a base of mint, putting the leaves into a bowl. "I don't mind the most boring of tasks when I get to do them with you, because that automatically adds fun to it since I.. get to be with you. Anyway, your presence by default also makes things sexy; I don't know if you've looked in a mirror lately, but uhhh just in case you haven't, you are the definition of that word, so belated spoiler alert." Just saying. Also she's biased but shh she will hear no other opinion.

"I like this logic and agree with it. Things I do with you are more fun and more sexy." He nods, quite intent on that as he makes his tea base, humming softly under her words and blushes a little.

"I--- you make me believe that for the first time."

[ Anathema is visibly delighted when the video clicks on, leaning in closer to watch the other woman work her magic. ]

Okay, first off, I do love tea, and I will absolutely take you up on that offer.

Secondly, how are you levitating your device? I need that trick— I keep almost dropping mine in the soup while I'm multitasking.

I mostly have dealt with coffee myself, so trying different teas might be interesting...perhaps an exchange? I can make amazing coffee, I promise.
