Cup 004: Iroh [In person]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Anyone in the cafeteria that night may happen upon Iroh, sitting by himself at the edge of a table.  Tonight's dinner is "Japanese" food.  He has chopsticks in his hands, the cheap, wooden kind one would get at an Asian restaurant.

He unenthusiastically pokes his meal with them.]

I suppose this is supposed to be rice...and sushi...and fish.  But I've never seen anything less like them in my life!

Oh, it can be, but it is something most people I've met know how to do.

[Iroh chuckles at Yukito's question.] Do hog-monkeys hate being ridden? [The answer, of course, is yes.] Some have called me a connoisseur of tea. I like to think of myself as one who appreciates its fine qualities.

Hog-monkeys?

[Those.. are definitely foreign to him, but he doesn't question things as much as he used to since arriving here!]

I really like tea, too. I've only had a few different kinds, though.

Yes, hog-monkeys. Rambunctious critters, live in the jungles.
nevermind.

Well, if you would ever like to sample more, just ask me. I have some with me, and I am always happy to show others more about tea.
