Awakening [Unintentional Video/Action] - 01

[tea_lover64]

[The morning had a dullness to it, a sort of dreariness that just seemed to make time go slowly. Even nature seemed to be having a hard time getting started today. The clearing in the forest was still and quiet, except for the stirrings of an old man who was slowly coming back into consciousness. He has a long beard, and a far receded hair line. Despite his age, he is well muscled individual. As his eyes slowly open he stretches a bit and winces. There is a moment or two as he gazes around his surroundings, taking everything in and sizing it up.]

This is certainly a strange place to wake up. I don't recall drinking any wine yesterday.

[He strokes his beard thoughtfully for a moment. He gives another wince and stretches his back a little. It is clear something strange has happened. It is then he turns his head for a second, and then startled turns it again]

Wings?! Since when do I have wings?!

[He shakes his head a second, and gives his cheek a pinch. It would seem he wasn't sleeping. When he had journeyed to the spirit world before he had maintained his shape, though that was the closest approximation he could make]

Mmmmm. I could use a cup of tea, and perhaps a bit of breakfast. Although I suppose that would be a bit much to ask.

[His gaze goes to the book which had a strange look to it, curiously he moved forward and taps it and... the feed cuts out]

[Apparently the magic book didn't just show pictures, it could also simply mimic voices, how utterly fascinating]

A coffee shop? I can't say I'm familiar with the word, but as long as they have tea I am willing to give it a try.

[He is confident that he could brew superior tea. Best in Ba Sing Se! He will reserve judgment until he tastes it though. It was always nice to see how different people did so]

[degozaruyo]

"Coffee" is a Western drink, quite strong and bitter. There are some who drink it back home, but it isn't to this one's taste.

[tea_lover64]

Well, I suppose I will give it a try to be fair. Since I own a tea store back at home, I still believe tea will be my passion, but it is always best to keep an open mind to new experiences.

[degozaruyo]

Perhaps you can establish another one during the duration of your stay here.

[tea_lover64]

I may do just that. That is a good idea.

[Starting a tea shop could give him something to do and keep him occupied]

Ah, you'll have to forgive me, I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Iroh, nice to talk to you.

[degozaruyo]

This one looks forward to visiting, then.

Himura Kenshin. It's a pleasure to meet you, Iroh.

[tea_lover64]

It is always nice to meet a friendly stranger and share some tea with them. You seem like a Jade Dew tea type of man.

[degozaruyo]

This one can't say he's ever tried Jade Dew, but he looks forward to meeting you and trying it someday.

[Yeeeeeaaaahhh unassuming badasses unite.]

[tea_lover64]

It is a pleasant green tea, not my favorite but still enjoyable.

[They can start the White Lotus society]

[degozaruyo]

[You'll have to teach him to play Paisho first, Iroh. And is 29 too young for the Badass Old Guy's Club?]

This one will have to try it someday.

[tea_lover64]

[Of course, Paisho is essential. 29 may be too young, and that lack of facial hair too...]

That shall be a good day.
