Rabastan poured and rose to hand Theo a cup of tea. It was simple, as Rab had expected and he moved back to his seat to sweeten and lighten his own, "I thought you'd like tea better than something stronger. I do recall you not being much of a drinker," he said as he settled himself onto the couch.
The room was quiet, and Rabastan sipped his tea contendedly, but wished Theo would draw closer to him.
"Yiu can sit with me if you like. I promise not to bite," he said and even to his own ears his words sounded odd. He gave a small sigh, "I don't know how to start a conversation with you, Theo. But perhaps I should say this," and he paused, "I've missed you. "
It wasn't much but it was a start. Andx he offered it like an open hand ofc greeting.
