Re: gotham russian tea room; loren & jules
"True," Loren said of the tea selection. There were teas made from every nonpoisonous herb, and even some of the poisonous ones. "But Russian Caravan is what is tradition, what my mother served, and it is the house tea here." The severance of a personal detail about his mother, something that he wouldn't have been capable of remembering years back, it made Loren swallow and glance down at the slim menu. "If you prefer green, they have that as well.. and jasmine, chammomile, raspberry leaf.. and--" Listing types of tea could take minutes, so Loren left it at that when Jules picked up one of the tea cakes. Small cookies with a hint of almond and nothing else, powdered sugar left behind on the fingers. Little sweetness, more of a body to carry the tea.
"What... flavors do you like?"
Loren took a sip of scalding tea and examined the menu, intentionally avoiding any glance toward Jules.
