Tea!
Characters: Alfred, open
When: wee hours of Friday morning
Location: Front dining car
Warnings/Rating: None anticipated
Summary: Alfred is cold and cranky and has tea!
Status: Open, ongoing
The two days spent outside of the train had been reminders of why he didn't like "roughing it" any more. At his age, his idea of roughing it were ... starchy sheets. Hiding out in a cave with a fire in a land of perpetual winter was far beyond his idea of roughing it. At least they'd had the cave, he supposed, and several of the witches and wizards had done their best to make it as comfortable and hospitable as possible. Still, the train was looking like a five star hotel after that cave. Alfred wasn't completely sure he'd ever be properly warm again. After stomping the snow off his boots, he'd wrapped his feet in two layers of socks and shuffled into the dining car. Despite the hour (it wasn't as though many of them had slept well outside anyway), the kitchen area was bustling. He found a kettle already on with water already at a boil, and he made himself a cup of tea. Someone must have managed to either charm the room warmer or the train was taking pity on them, because the front dining car was quite toasty. Settling down at a table, he wrapped his hands around the mug of tea and inhaled the steam of it. He was not particularly interested in enduring anything like that ever again. |
