The door opened, and almost immediately a steaming cup appeared in the space.
"Take this," David ordered, a smile on his face. "And drink." An obscure herbal tea made out of the oddest combination of things, it claimed to soothe and relax the drinker. Honestly, David tended to find that it just tasted Organic enough to seem effective, but that usually amounted to the same thing.
He stepped belatedly out of the doorway, giving Arla enough space to actually come in.
