How To Be Civilized, Friday, Period 3
"Welcome back," Seivarden said, standing in the front of the class as if they were a group of baby Lieutenants she had been given command over. She gestured towards the bag filled with a selection of gloves (none of them Mae-shaped, sadly).
"Unless you have brought your own, find a suitable pair."
She continued: "Last week I asked you about your tea preferences. Some of you had good taste, others not so much. Today we're going to make proper tea."
On the table in front of her were an arrangement of teapots, cups and bags of different kinds of tea.
"Sadly it is impossible to get proper tea flasks here, but these pots will do. Pick a tea you like, brew it according to the instructions and then describe the result and your reflections."

Re: Make Tea
Seivarden wasn't sure if this student was being deliberately annoying.
"Mae, is it? Well, Mae, why do you have tea on the table?"
Re: Make Tea
Mae looked at the tea on the table. "It's taking a nap."
You try not spilling with poorly fitted, bargain brand work gloves.
Re: Make Tea
Seivarden sighed.
"Even a sock would work better than those gloves."
That was not an encouragement to get creative with socks, Mae.
Re: Make Tea
Really? Because it sure as heck sounded to Mae like Seivarden was telling her to wear socks on her hands next week.
"I'll clean it up," she said. "Where's the little scoopy netty thing?"
The infuser. It was called an infuser.
Re: Make Tea
She frowned, confused.
Re: Make Tea
"The thing!" Mae said. Because that would help. "That you put the leaf debris in. The pool cleaner but for tea." She drew a little shape in the air, but that likely wasn't going to be all that effective even without the floppy too-long workglove fingers.
Re: Make Tea
Not that Mae waving her hands about and speaking words had been very clear.
"Wait, what do you mean clean it up?"
Re: Make Tea
". . . Get it off the table and into the pot?"
Re: Make Tea
"You intend to wipe tea off a table and into a pot? Do you know what has been on the table."
