Good evening! It's been a busy week, now that our tea house is open. I can't believe how many people we've seen!

[A low grunt can be heard from behind Beatrice, who's wearing her (now usual) apron. As a customer calls her, she smiles widely and leaves the gear on the table... so that everyone can see where she's going. She kinda forgot to turn it off.

Not that she noticed.]

I'll be there in a moment!

[At first, people may only be able to see the back of a serving tray for a few moments. That grunt comes again, followed by a partial lowering as Vanitas watches Beato move with a suspicious look. He's been avoiding that camera but.. well.

On thinking she took the feed with her, he lowers the tray and inadvertantly shows the black and white waiter outfit he's been stuck into. With his hair drawn back and even a thick clip holding his bangs back, he looks ~~hilarious~~ dashing ~~no really super hilarious~~, despite lacking the necktie. Who knows how to tie ties? Not Vanitas. Moving away then when an order comes up, the feed eventually times out on it's own.]

(ooc; ~~Beato tried to make him wear an apron~~ Responses will come in both the Beato and Vanitas variety. Handle with care :D)

It's not a problem. [Nodding, he didn't really get much of a chance to meet Lion before, but he ... she? seemed alright.] What do you think I should say when people ask for recommendations? [It can't hurt to learn a little about the teas he's serving, and he doesn't want to bother Beato all the time to come answer the questions.]

I could get some recommendations written so you can have them on hand if that is fine with you.

Though if you have to pick one, I suppose the matcha cupcakes could be called our specialty.

That would work better. [Nodding, he's paying attention and making mental notes.] What tea would go with that, or is that more of a.. taste preference.

Matcha cupcakes are made using green tea, so for a matching taste you can always go with any of our green teas, those are easy to find in the menu, so you have time to learn about them... Preferably a softer one.

... What makes one softer? [lolol you'll need to add so many little things to that recommendations list]

Tea can vary a lot depending on the amount of leaves used, the blends and the preparation. Some leaves have a much stronger flavor than others by nature.

Because of how complicated it can be sometimes, we prepared our menu to make sure everyone could see those things easily, since not everyone is used to tea.

[Lion reaches for a menu, showing it to Vanitas.] The teas are arranged here depending on the type of teas, for example, green is over here, and blacks here... [Pointing at the different things in the menu now, Lion smiles a bit.] There are quite a few, as you can see. And then, in each category, we arranged them from softer flavors to stronger ones.

[He somewhat understands, nodding a little. Following along anyway when the menu is picked up and stuff is pointed, he kind of points between a couple.]

Oh, okay. So because this one stews for longer, it's going to have a stronger taste.

Yes, that's also one of the most important factors.

Tea is a bit of an art, and a science at the same time.

If this weren't a shop specifically made to talk about and drink tea, I'd say it's too much effort for something so minimal.

I don't really consider it "work" at all. It's just doing something I enjoy and sharing it with other people.
