( he watches her out of the corner of his eye as she takes her first sip β not creepily, please don't think it's creepy, he just wants to see if you like it or not, and yes his gaze can be a little intense sometimes but he's working on that β and there may be a few things he still misses when it comes to the nuances of human expression, but there β¦ isn't much of anything about this that could insinuate that the tea wasn't good. or at least passable.
maybe he's better at this so far than he'd originally thought. of course, that doesn't mean he isn't going to keep practicing until everything he puts together is perfect in his own mind, but that's neither here nor there.
he finally takes a drink from his own mug, letting the heat of the tea sink down to his core β you know, the sort of thing you can feel all the way down when it's that hot β and sighs quietly in the back of his throat. dare we say happily. ) I'm glad you enjoy it. It was my pleasure to put it together.
( there's another moment of silence as he takes another long sip, breathing in and out slowly through his nose. he's also glad he doesn't get more than that narrow-eyed look, but he might be even more so at the thought that she really does like what he's done for her. )
The idea of doing things with my hands is β¦ cathartic, I suppose I could say? Something. Constructive, instead of destructive.
( AND THAT'S WHAT WE CALL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, FOLKS. )
