Tani stared at Isabelle, then at the door to the room. Back. Forth. She bit her lower lip, a crease appearing between her eyebrows. "Uh...sure?"
Tea was not supposed to be this difficult. "I'll um...the tea," she said, gesturing vaguely back into the main room. She fled before either could commit any more acts of awkwardness.
Out of Isabelle's sight, her shoulders relaxed some, and she blew out a breath. Somehow, the out-of-place Isabelle was even more intimidating than the usual Isabelle, as if a predator garbed in sheep's wool. Funny in any other circumstance, yet in the present moment all it served to do was make Tani very, very aware of how dangerous the other woman was. Especially given...
No. Best not think of that.
Isabelle had started the kettle, and so Tani set about shaking the leaves into the small teapot. It was the wrong sort of teapot for Thanalan style brewing, but she'd make do. Anything but make the situation any more clumsy than it already was.
