Well this was just teariffic. The water had boiled and Amrita portioned out a cup of it for Jasmine's cocoa before proceeding with the masala and the tea leaves, with the exact proportions that her own Bibiji had taught her. Masala chai was something both their grandmothers had given them, something calming, something to remind them of home. And for Amrita, brewing tea usually took enough time for her to calm herself down before she had to encounter a thing, but sadly that was not the case teaday.
Hot cocoa (in a no-spill cup for Jasmine) and tea (for the two adults pointeadly avoiding the subject) prepared, they were leviteated onto a tray, which followed obediently behind Amrita as she made her way back into the living room.
She set Jasmine down and gave her the cup of hot cocoa, pressing a kiss to the top of the toddler's head and whispering something indestinct into her ear before reaching for the mug reading "this is a creativi-teacup" and handing to him. Only once his hands closed around the mug, did she take a seat opposite him, crossing her legs on the chair as she always did.
"I'm sure you have questeans," she said, trying to lighten the mood with a pun, and then wincing when it fell flat. She was sure he did have questions - ironic, considering he was always the guy with all the answers - and she wouldn't blame him if he was outraged and had a few things to yell either.
Actually, maybe she should put Jasmine in her room for a bit so she didn't have to hear this go bad. Wow, A+ parenting, Amrita.
