[in the meantime, fox prepares the tea. he clearly knows what he's doing for most of it; his method is very precise and traditional up until he gets to the actual whisking part. he holds the whisk weirdly, with his pinky and ring fingers outstretched, and for some reason he's twirling the whisk instead of doing a back-and-forth motion? it's weird and flashy but he's clearly having fun with it, even if it means he accidentally spills a bit of tea onto the grass. oops.]

[ostensibly. he passes her the tea cup]

The texture is so different from steeped leaves. You'd think there was cream in it.

[artisticliberty]

That is the beauty of the technique, after all.

[tradesecret]

Yes. The introduction of air via the whisk, right?

[artisticliberty]

Exactly. It tastes best this way, in my opinion.

Good company and a lovely setting help as well.
