Preparing the tea for the water had taken no time at all, really, and so Tani had just sort of set herself by the hearth, watching and listening for the indications that the water was hot, but not too hot for the delicate leaves. She looked up, taking in Isabelle's, clothes, and found her hand traveling up to her earlobe -- empty of earring. She pulled it back down, twining her fingers together to keep her hands busy.
Tani was not by any means a loner. Except as it came to work, and necessary solitude that came with tasks requiring concentration and those requiring secrecy or privacy, Tani spent her time with other people. Except, something about the way Isabelle spoke...the way she insinuated enjoyment of killing and using the resultant body parts for her plants, was too much for Tani to really take in stride. For one, it was nigh impossible to tell whether or not the elezen was joking around.
But she had been kind.
She had protected Tani.
Tani found one of her hands had relocated to her bandage, and she shoved it back down into her lap. She'd been silent too long. Again. "My apologies for the sudden visit," she said, unsure of her footing. "Shall I ... arrange for a time, next time?" Tani closed her eyes in a long blink, and added, "assuming you would, ah, like that. Ah --" saved at last. "The water is ready."
