Madame Puddifoot's is laid out in a typical English tea room fashion. Lace doilies cover each table on top of the flower patterned table cloths. In the middle of each is a contained candle, ready to be lit for those on a romantic retreat. The windows are half covered by fancy net curtains, leaving just enough room at the top to see over and down Hogsmeade's High Street. Little flower and heart covered cushions are on each seat awaiting your arrival.
The shopkeeper, a descendant of the original owner, keeps the shop this way because she has to. She has no desire to look upon all the fancy decorations herself, which is why you'll most likely find her in the back room. She'll come and serve you when you ring the bell on the counter, but make sure you know what you want to order as she doesn't have all day. Keep your snogging to a minimum unless you want to be kicked out.

Hogsmeade weekend was back again. Kirk quite looked forward to these weekends. Last year most of his weekends were sacrificed to studying, this year though.. well, he still had to study but not as much compared to fifth year. Which shop was Kirk going to check out? The Tea shop, naturally, since he wouldn't be alone.
"Should we get our usual spot?" Kirk asked her. The window near the corner was nice peering out through. But perhaps she was in the mood for a different spot. He didn't mind either way.
Ah…dates, those things you go on with significant others…they were one of the smaller perks of being in a relationship. Having someone to talk to that really got you – that was bigger…even if she wasn’t always the most attentive person out there…but there were extenuating circumstances there like standardized testing and work…
work…and soon university – don’t think about that Mellybean she told herself and put her usual smile in place.. ”What…oh…I’m good with any place just hopefully as far away from their confetti tossing cherubs” because those things were annoying.
Looking up at the menu she turned her attention back to Kirk, ”so what do you think you want?”

Patrick walked into Madame Puddifoots a bit aloof. All last term he never made it inside, although tea wasn't one hundred percent his favorite thing yet. He figured one of these days he'd grow to like it more. He grabbed a table off to the side wondering what he might get or if any of his friends would be around later. He looked over what he could get, "mmm, apple pie." he might be here a while.
Sapphira Puddifoot reluctantly left the office in the back when she heard the little bell above the door signalling the arrival of customers. It was Halloween and every student from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had come to Hogsmeade.
The young woman dusted off one of the decorative pumpkins lining the counter and glanced at the clock on the wall. She would linger for a few minutes to make sure none of the kids were up to anything and then return to the back room.
If they needed her... Well, that was what the bell on the counter was for.

Hanna, in her ballerina costume, was DYING for a cup of tea. This eleven-year-old had been taught well. It wasn't as if Hogwarts didn't make a decent cup of tea, but she wanted something different. A rose tea perhaps. She liked rose tea. Not Rosehip, not unless it was mixed with other things. It was a bit... a bit tart. No, rose tea, with rose buds and rose petals, was deLICious.
There was a boy there who was all alone, too. Hanna had decided to SOLO this trip to Hogsmeade, just in case she needed some alone time. But so far, it had been okay. It was time to do some talking though. She overheard him say something about apple pie, and she knew he wasn't a first year because he hadn't been on the boats with her, nor had he been in the sorting ceremony.
"Have you had the apple pie from here?" she asked him.
And then to the Shop Owner, she said "Do you have rose tea?" Did she? Hanna would be very disappointed if she didn't. She'd have to send home for some, or find a rose bush, prune some buds, and dry them herself. And she didn't have time for that.

Patrick looked over at the girl in the ballerina costume. He had decided on something very simple... a lumberjack. He had tons of plaid in his clothing to dress down in, it was such a southern thing to own. He also had on a pair of suspenders he had his mama send him. He thought about adding a beard, but it seemed a bit much. He hadn’t seen her around, buts be a firstie. “Uh, ‘fraid not. Where I’m from apple pie, its a staple after dinner.”
He could just smell the freshly baked pie dough and the cinnamon in the apples cooking all afternoon while his mama graded papers from her students. It really amazed him that after only being in the states for 24 years that she picked up so many habits of typical southern women even though she was technically a transplant. He looked the girl over as she asked for rose tea... ew.
Looking over at the shop keeper he spoke a little louder, “excuse me, could I get a slice of apple pie please?” he really hoped it was as good as his mama’s pie but wasn’t going to hold his breath. Looking back over at the girl, “care to join me,” patrick wondered as he waited for her to sit.

Looking up at the menu she turned her attention back to Kirk, ”so what do you think you want?”
"Sure," Kirk grinned a bit, he concurred about the confetti. It wasn't as enjoyable picking it out of his food before eating. They liked to be in the middle section, last he recalled. His hand enclosed with Mel's own hand before they went near the corner by the window to sit at.
Kirk lazily looked at the menu, his thoughts on other things between him and Mel. They had been going out for a while, nearly two years. So much has happened and yet so much more could happen between now and... well, he even disliked the thought of the end of the year. Blinking, "Hm? Oh, probably some teacakes and milk." He felt like having something light, "how about you?" Kirk had enough to pay for both.
And then to the Shop Owner, she said "Do you have rose tea?" Did she? Hanna would be very disappointed if she didn't. She'd have to send home for some, or find a rose bush, prune some buds, and dry them herself. And she didn't have time for that.

Sapphira knew how to recognize the little indications that customers were ready to order. She hovered closer to the two young, probably Hogwarts students, and was quickly by their side when the young girl spoke up.
'Do you have'. What did she mean do you have? Of course she did. She didn't have those fancy tea pots for nothing.
"Yes." Sapphira said simply, trying hard not to interpret her question as an insult. "Anything to eat with that tea?"
A small notepad with a self-writing quill hovered in the air, quickly jotting down the rose tea followed by the apple pie.
Sapphira turned her attention towards the boy and nodded. "Ice-cream or custard with that pie, young man?"
"Sure," Kirk grinned a bit, he concurred about the confetti. It wasn't as enjoyable picking it out of his food before eating. They liked to be in the middle section, last he recalled. His hand enclosed with Mel's own hand before they went near the corner by the window to sit at.

He felt like having something light, "how about you?" Kirk had enough to pay for both.
The confetti was always an interesting thing…valentines day was the worst offender but today, right now, it was just their date. Their time to be together and away from the humdrum routine of classes and tests. Giving Kirk’s hand a squeeze Mel followed him over to the table.
This was hard – the knowing that the end of term was approaching…and with it the changes.
This wasn’t the time for that, this was the time for happiness and enjoying the moment. ”oh those sound great, honestly…I was thinking of maybe getting a tea and maybe” she paused for a section as she thought about it again ”this might sound odd…but I was thinking about getting fruit salad and y’know that’sodd for me…not getting an honest sweet” she shrugged her shoulder and grinned at him…but really, all she wanted was fruit...Fruit and for the end of term to stop its slow progression.

To say that Farah was nervous was an understatement. She'd NEVER been on a date before, and this was just out of her league! What if she wasn't dressed right? Or if she didn't act right? How did you act on a date?
Wait, this was Clayton. This was good. He was sweet and he would handle all the things.
Breaaaathe Farah, breaaaathe.
She was dressed warmly because it was chilly out. This included cute scarves, and gloves, plus her cute boots. She wanted to feel cute on her first date. She was glad her dad wasn't here. if he was, he'd be sending Clayton all the looks and telling them to not hold hands and keep 2 feet apart at all times.... funny how she was thinking about that right before her date....
Thinking of date, where was he? Oh no... did he chicken out? What if he wasn't coming because he thought better of it since she liked him and Blaze? Oh merlin! She leaned against the wall by the door of Madame Puddifoot's .. waiting.
Come on Clay, show up.

Oh my gosh oh my gosh OH MY GOSSSSSHHHH.
Clay was quite certain he had gone mad. He didn't even KNOW who he was anymore. He KNEW he was a huge nerd, a complete dork, a quiet little dweeb - he was NOT this cool kid who asked out GIRLS on DATES. Yet here he was. He'd not only asked out Farah, but he'd done it in such a...confident manner. He'd made up his mind, and he had just GONE for it - and she'd said YESSSS!
He'd been freaking out with Scarlett for the past hour. She had been absolutely ZERO help, telling him to stop being an idiot (which was not very helpful advice) and telling him that if Farah hadn't liked him, she wouldn't have said yes. It made sense, and was pretty sound advice to be fair. It did nothing to help his nerves, though. Not at all. He'd dressed pretty normal for this - he'd worn a nicer jumper than normal, but otherwise, it was pretty close to his usual style. He hadn't shaved or anything because - well, there was never anything TO shave.
Breatheeeee Reynolds. He could do this. It was just Farah! They hung out ALLLL the time. This was going to be easy!
Taking a deep breath of cold air, he walked in to the little tea shop and smiled when he saw she was already there waiting for him. INSTANTLY he felt a bit calmer. This was ok. This was fine. He grinned and walked up to her, rubbing his hands together as he tried to warm up. "Hi!" he exclaimed, thankful that his voice didn't crack or squeak as he spoke up.
"You look nice," he told her, blushing as he did so. He looked around at the tables and was relieved to find most of them empty - not only did they have their pick of the place, but if things DID go...bad...at least there wouldn't be many there to witness his humiliating defeat at the dating game.
No, no, nooooo don't think like that. This was going to be great!
"Wanna sit?" he asked, gesturing to one of the nearby tables. Seemed as good as any.

"Ooh where's that?" Hanna asked. Apple pie as a STAPLE after dinner!? That sounded like heaven to the young girl. Somewhere in America she guessed.
Whilst he ordered apple pie, Hanna made up her mind that she wanted to try some too. And he was kind enough to invite her to join him. She smiled and nodded. "Sure!"

SHE HAD ROSE TEA! Hanna beamed. She was so happy to be able to have some rose tea. And in this lovely tea shop. "Some apple pie too, please. Hmm with custard." She liked ice cream, but sometimes the temperature differences were too great when it came to hot tea and cold ice cream.

He turned his attention about to the other person. She had asked where his family was from he thought his accent was a dead giveaway. “I’m from Kentucky in the United States, my mother transferred schools for teaching.” he stated hoping that it might at least answer a few questions here and there.

No, no, nooooo don't think like that. This was going to be great!
"Wanna sit?" he asked, gesturing to one of the nearby tables. Seemed as good as any.
The cold was stinging her face a little bit and she pulled up her scarf just as her eyes caught Clay walking towards her. Farah instantly grinned and started wiggling. HE WAS ACTUALLY HERE!!!! Breath of relief, that was for sure. She'd hate to think she'd been stood up on her first date!
Once he was close enough, Farah immediately bombarded his space and hugged him tight. "You're here!" she said, the relief flooding her voice a little bit. Then he was telling her she looked nice. She knew it though. She'd made sure she did. And her eyebrow game was O+! "So do you!" she said, detaching herself from him to look down at what he had on. Definitely her Clayton.
Following him, she took a seat at one of the places he gestured at. "I've never been here before." She said pulling off her scarf and gloves to get a little bit more comfortable. It was kinda cheesy... but cheesy in the BEST way. First dates should definitely be here. She was biased about it now. She looked around at the place. "Have you ever been here? What's good?" Because they were going to eat right?
What did you do on dates anyways? Farah hadn't asked anyone. She should have.. but she didn't know any of her friends that had been on dates. "So how was your daaay?" She asked because she felt a little awkward on not really knowing if she needed to act different or not because she was on a /date/. Again... she would definitely read a book on matters like this.

"I'm here!" Clay exclaimed, blushing as she hugged him and he wrapped his arms around here in return. Did she really think he would have stood her up?! Nah, maybe not that, maybe she was afraid he would have chickened out and locked himself in his dorm - which, honestly, if he was still like, twelve, he might have done. Because of ANXIETY and all that. But not to Farah. Nope. She was too special.
"No, this always seemed to me like a place that you...go on dates," Clay admitted with a small chuckle. "And I never had anyone I wanted to go on a date with until you so..." his voice trailed off as he turned beet red and rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle. So, he just sat down instead. Madame Puddifoots just SOUNDED like a corny date place - and it certainly was. He had heard that on Valentine's Day, the cheesy factor was off the CHARTS, but he had never had an excuse to come here on that day. Maybe this year...with Farah...?
Ok, whoa. Getting ahead of himself here. He needed to focus on RIGHT NOW and not making a TOTAL fool of himself.
He couldn't help but burst out in a grin when she asked him how his day was. It was nice to know that she didn't really seemed to know much more about this whole dating thing than he did. He'd been a little nervous about that - not that he thought Farah was dating a bunch of boys behind his back, but he DID know that she had snogged someone and, well...that had certainly imprinted on his brain. He tried not to think about it, but he did, much to his dismay.
LIKE RIGHT NOW. UGH. STAAAAHP.
"Well it's a LOT better now that I'm here with you," he told her with a grin. He wasn't trying to be corny but it DEFINITELY was. "I helped Scarlett dye her hair pink for Halloween so that was fun! And, um, how was YOUR day?" he asked. As he spoke, he nervous reached for the menu as well. Whatever she wanted was on HIM, of course - he wasn't a shopper, really, so he had like FIVE years worth of allowance to spend on her, if she wanted to splurge!

"So it's in Kentucky I should go for apple pie," Hanna said. "Do you think they make the best pie there?" She was curious. Her mum did the best bread and butter pudding. She wouldn't have believed if anyone said anywhere but Britain did the best of it. "I haven't been to the United States before." She'd like to go though, and perhaps she'd go to Kentucky first.
"Is she a witch teacher?" Just being nosy.

Patrick shook his head. “Kentucky isn’t the best place for apple pie, but pie is a very frequent desert option in Kentucky.” he thought about all of the things that he missed most about Kentucky and the things they were known for. Really they were more known for the Kentucky Derby or basketball, but even still those two things were a big deal.
“Honestly we’re more well known for our horses. We have this stuff called bluegrass, its so pretty and there are just fields of it and horses, so many horse farms and we used to grow tobacco, which was what people used to smoke.” he stopped himself before he got too geeked out about Kentucky and some of the life he missed dearly, but was glad he got to take part in when he went home each summer.
Ah, yeah he forgot most people who were in this environment didn’t realize how many wizards taught at colleges. His mother was one of them, although he still wasn’t sure what all his mother covered in her acult studies class. “Uh no, my mama teaches at colleges, she teaches acult studies, or something that lets her talk about wizardry under the guise that its all a farce. At least, that’s what she tells me.”

“Honestly we’re more well known for our horses. We have this stuff called bluegrass, its so pretty and there are just fields of it and horses, so many horse farms and we used to grow tobacco, which was what people used to smoke.” he stopped himself before he got too geeked out about Kentucky and some of the life he missed dearly, but was glad he got to take part in when he went home each summer.

Huh... so Kentucky wasn't the place to go for Apple Pie. "D'you know where is the best place?" She also realised home-made was the best for desserts. Perhaps Madame Puddifoot's was the best place for apple pie. Her mum's home made bread and butter pudding was better than the stuff they served in cafes, for sure.
Horses? Hanna's face lit up. "I love horses! Do you know how to ride them?" Hanna was TOO excited about the horses, she heard and immediately forgot what he said about tobacco. HORSES! "It sounds really nice there. You must miss it, I bet. Is it warm there? Do you get snow?" Hanna loved the snow, but in Norway, where they went often, it snowed more than in London, where they lived. But she loved spring, and warm weather.
"Wow that's really cool!" Was that the best of both worlds? Perhaps. "I bet she learns lots about other things muggles learn about too." Hanna liked her muggle school, learning maths and science, and they got to read books for a whole lesson. In her early years, she also got to lie on the ground and listen to relaxing music after lunch. Things were a bit different at Hogwarts. They had Potions instead of science, and arithmancy instead of maths.

SHE HAD ROSE TEA! Hanna beamed. She was so happy to be able to have some rose tea. And in this lovely tea shop. "Some apple pie too, please. Hmm with custard." She liked ice cream, but sometimes the temperature differences were too great when it came to hot tea and cold ice cream.

Sapphira nodded. "One rose tea, two applie pies, one with custard and one with ice cream coming up."
On her way back to the counter she glanced outside the window to see some kids trick-or-treating. She shook head head, hoping they wouldn't come into her shop and ask for any candy. She turned on the kettle for the tea before she prepared the two slices of apple pie. In just a few minutes, it was ready. Next to one of the warm apple pies she scooped up some ice cream and added custard to the other. Balancing the two plates on her arm and holding the kettle and the cup in her hands she placed the kids' orders down on the table.
"Here you are." She quickly poured the tea for the girl after she'd given them their plates. "Enjoy!"
Sapphira looked over at the young couple by the window and then at the two girls who just arrived. Deciding she didn't have all day to wait for them to order, she wiped off a nearby table before disappearing into the back room again.

Nah, maybe not that, maybe she was afraid he would have chickened out and locked himself in his dorm - which, honestly, if he was still like, twelve, he might have done. Because of ANXIETY and all that. But not to Farah. Nope. She was too special.
"No, this always seemed to me like a place that you...go on dates," Clay admitted with a small chuckle. "And I never had anyone I wanted to go on a date with until you so..." his voice trailed off as he turned beet red and rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle. So, he just sat down instead. Madame Puddifoots just SOUNDED like a corny date place - and it certainly was. He had heard that on Valentine's Day, the cheesy factor was off the CHARTS, but he had never had an excuse to come here on that day. Maybe this year...with Farah...?
Ok, whoa. Getting ahead of himself here. He needed to focus on RIGHT NOW and not making a TOTAL fool of himself.
He couldn't help but burst out in a grin when she asked him how his day was. It was nice to know that she didn't really seemed to know much more about this whole dating thing than he did. He'd been a little nervous about that - not that he thought Farah was dating a bunch of boys behind his back, but he DID know that she had snogged someone and, well...that had certainly imprinted on his brain. He tried not to think about it, but he did, much to his dismay.
LIKE RIGHT NOW. UGH. STAAAAHP.
"Well it's a LOT better now that I'm here with you," he told her with a grin. He wasn't trying to be corny but it DEFINITELY was. "I helped Scarlett dye her hair pink for Halloween so that was fun! And, um, how was YOUR day?" he asked. As he spoke, he nervous reached for the menu as well. Whatever she wanted was on HIM, of course - he wasn't a shopper, really, so he had like FIVE years worth of allowance to spend on her, if she wanted to splurge!
Clay blushing was the cutest thing ever to be honest. She giggled and settled herself down into the chair, happy to be here with him. Then he had to go and say that, "And I never had anyone I wanted to go on a date with until you so...". SWOON! Did he not know that saying those things would make anyone feel special?? Especially Farah because she tended to take everything people said to heart. Sometimes even the bad things. Though, she had a motto that she tried to live by. 'Opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and sometimes they stink.' Her dad said that a lot. She had to remind herself not to let the bad get to her.
Not that anything bad was happening right now. Because she was HAPPY and GRINNING big. She was on her first date with Clayton. Yep. She still couldn't believe it.
"Well I've never really pictured where I would go on a date. To be honest, it wasn't until recently that I really even looked into dating. When you asked me I was just giddy... and nervous." Nervous because of Blaze reasons. But she'd been upfront and let him know everything before giving him the chance to take back his date offer.
Which he hadn't. THANK MERLIN She was glad that he was her first date.
There he was being swoon worthy again. Farah giggled and wiggled in her seat. "Do you realize when you say things like that, it makes my skin hot?" Was that normal to say? Who cared. Farah knew she wasn't normal. She liked it that way. "My day is much better now that I know you're here." She said equally happy. And he helped dye Scar's hair?? Aww! "What is she going to be for Halloween?" She asked. Did she ever tell him that she saw her in the library? "Oh! By the way, just in case I forgot to mention, I met your sister in the library. Shes as cute as you are." Cuteness must have ran in the family.
"My day was good! Mostly. I got a letter from my dad about my grades. They are apparently too average and I need to strive harder in school." She said wrinkling her nose. Her dad and her didn't see eye to eye on her future. But she was definitely a daddy's girl so making him happy was key. 'Wanna be my study mate?" She asked him with a big grin. He'd say yes for sure!

"Seriously? You? Wasn't the first time we met...something about you stalking some Slytherin guy, Miss Boy Crazy?" Clay asked with a teasing grin. He was pretty sure that was how they met - he couldn't remember, honestly. He DID remember her talking about her future Slytherin husband, though. Whoever that had turned out to be. He hadn't heard her mention him in a while though so he figured that was probably old news which was good for him obviously.
"...Really?" he asked, HIS skin getting all hot and red when she said that. "Oh geez. We're just the CUTEST, aren't we?" he joked with a grin, although really - the more they said stuff like this, the more he realized that they were actually being super cute. Like SICKENINGLY cute. But that was ok with him!
Oh, right, Scarlett and her hair. He chuckled and shook his head. "I don't think she actually dresses up. She just uses it as an excuse to do her hair up in goofy colors and wear like, purple lipstick and stuff," he explained. Not that he thought she needed an excuse to do that. Scarlett had always been a spitfire and did whatever she wanted. He raised an eyebrow when she said she had met her in the library - and that she was cute. He groaned playfully and rolled his eyes, "Nah, she's a big pain in the butt," he joked. "Seriously though, it wasn't until we got to school that we got close. She was a nightmare growing up. She locked me in the hamper so many times, I swear I'm claustrophobic because of it," he chuckled. He was super glad they were close NOW though. He hoped to get that close with Evie as well, but it would be harder with her being a Gryffindor.
He frowned when she said her father had been on her about her grades. "That's lame. But I would LOVE to be your study partner," he added with a grin. He had to admit he was SORT OF jealous of those couples he'd see studying around the castle and in the library. It looked so cute and fun! He then turned to the menu and pushed it in front of her. "Do you want anything? My treat, of course," he added. Just in case, you know, that wasn't clear.

He smiled, "I do know how to ride." His grandfather had taught him when he was just a little kid. Honestly, when he left hogwarts he had thought and heavily considered going back to Kentucky to work with his grandfather on the farm. He liked working with the horses and having the quality time outside. Again he was amazed at how interested this girl was in his conversation. "Oh yeah I do miss it. I miss my friends from my muggle school a lot, but I get to see them when I go home. It gets so warm during the summer, but honestly I miss the warm fall and spring nights."

Patrick turned his head to the Sapphira, he was way too excited for this pie,"Thanks." he smiled at her as he just smelled the pie. He thought about her question regarding where the best place was to get the pie. "Honestly, good apple pie isn't central to one location, really anywhere that someone cooks by hand still is a good pie." he shoveled a big bite of pie in his mouth before considering how bad of an idea that was when he felt the steam fill his mouth.

Ah, solitude.
In a moment, their order was there. Hanna watched as Sapphira started to pour her tea out, and as she did so, she could smell the roses. Mmm, delicious. And the apple pie with custard was deLICIOUS smelling, she couldn't want to eat it. "Thank you," Hanna said, as she took the cup and had a sip.

"I like to ride the horses, it's always fun. Just being outside and seeing all the things outside." The trees, the wind, hearing the wind rushing by her ears. Hanna took another sip of her tea and listened to Patrick. "Are you going back for Christmas?" Hanna really couldn't wait to see her family. She'd never been away from them this long, and she was missing them terribly, even with letters. They just weren't the same.
Hanna took a little spoon of apple pie, and dipped it in the custard. It was delicious! "mmm," she said, with her full and closed mouth. Once she'd finished her mouthful, she said "This is amazing!" She started getting her next spoonful ready. "Well that makes sense." It made perfect sense! "Is your mum's recipe one that's generations old?"

"Do you want anything? My treat, of course," he added. Just in case, you know, that wasn't clear.
He remembered the first time they met!! Well... honestly she did too. She'd been sprawled out on the common room floor in a mess of clothes that were too big for her. She grinned at the memory. Why'd that seem so long ago? "Yessss stalking my future husband is one thing. Going on a date... totally different." Farah couldn't justify it but there it was. She giggled and waved off the boy crazy. "I appreciate faces! I've also learned to distinguish between attraction, and liking someone." Because that was important. People had tried to tell her that from the beginning but she didn't want to listen to them... until now. Because now she knew.
This date was going pretty well. They were laughing and joking around like they always had done. Maybe dates weren't so different after all?
SCARLETT LOCKED CLAYTON IN THE HAMPER???? Farah bust out laughing but should have been more sympathetic to him. 'Awww you poor thing! I'm glad that I'm an only child. I mean, I have lots of cousins and a few are about as close as brothers and sisters, but they aren't." He'd met a lot of her family, so he knew. "I'm glad you two are better now. She says you need me, by the way." She said giving a little smile. A smile of secrets almost... one that she was about to tell.
"Yay! Okay! Then we can start a study group, meet.... let's say... Thursdays? If we need to change it we can." Because the play was coming up and Farah had auditioned, hoping for one of the leads. It was one of the reasons she didn't try out for Quidditch even though she had a natural ability for it. She wanted to keep her schedule open for the play.
And food. Her favorite. "Oh yes! Ever been here? What's good? I'd love some honey tea." That was first and foremost. The chilly air meshed well with a nice hot cup of honey tea.
