[There's a pile of books beside the beanbag this wolf is sitting in, a collection that seems to dip into some fairly advanced magic. Remus frowns as he flips through the pages. He's decided that he really ought to take advantage of his time here, and this little studying session promises to be the first of many. He seems preoccupied, though, and occasionally stares off into the corner of the room instead of at the pages before him, thinking about all he has to look forward to when he heads back to the cottage.]

If you ever decide to go back, it's likely.

[entrailbound]

It will be a long time in coming, my return.

[He returns to the tea he'd set down, earlier, and picks it up again.] You haven't told me what this is.

[novumlupine]

Oh. Tea. You've never had tea?

[entrailbound]

No. How is it made, and what from? [He holds it close, trying to identify the scent, but failing to.]

[novumlupine]

It's boiling water poured over... primarily leaves, though different blends include other things as well, such as herbs... or fruit essences. You then add honey, or cream or sugar, depending on your tastes.

[entrailbound]

Leaves.

Is this plain tea then? Without addition of herbs or fruits? [He holds the warm cup in both his hands, almost as if the warmth could be some kind of comfort.] I'll say this for your world- you're very rich in materials.

[novumlupine]

Of a certain kind, not simply... any leaves. I know it sounds odd.

This is Earl Grey, though it's mild, so there isn't so much of the bergamot flavour in this blend. With sugar.
