Nothing in the world like Tea [CLOSED]

Characters: Temeraire shendefeng, Dylan Sharp bellcaptain
Location: Death City's new tea shop.
Rating: PG
Time: January 18th (Late morning)
Description: It had been some time that Temeraire had meant to speak with Mr. Sharp, as they are both in their respective world's Aerial divisions; so as fellow Britishers, what more natural to do than to have a nice spot of tea?




[Temeraire was not so much anxious as he was a little abashed for having promised young Mr. Sharp about having some tea, and yet not having had the time to arrange for the meeting up until now. He had been busy, not to mention secretly worrying for Toph's condition as it seemed that she still needed to mind her ankle.

It had not been too long after the morning training session, and He was now waiting for Mr. Sharp to come in through the door of Death City's new Tea Shop. He had asked for a pot of Earl Gray, while he was waiting, and perhaps young Sharp would like some as well when he came.

That, and he did not want to seem to simply sit there and wait without ordering something whilst occupying a considerable space for one his size. It would perhaps make him look to be a right scrub, and he did not like to think that others would think him as such.]

[Well, that certainly did make sense. And the more Deryn listened to Temeraire's description, the more impressed she becomes.]

Barking spiders, that's bloody impressive! And you're right, from the sound of things I doubt airships or gliders would be very useful in your world, not when there are dragons that can do a much better job! You must be very strong too! To be able to carry that many men.

Though, I wouldn't mind seeing you in your original form, I must say BREW must have it's reasons for doing this. Besides, I wouldn't be able to have tea with you like this otherwise!

[It seemed that Sharp really liked to use the word "Barking." That was quite an interesting little fact, and was probably used instead of an expletive, which Temeraire appreciates.]

Oh, we all are. Then again, I am not the largest if truth be told. There is my wingmate named Maximus, who is a Regal Copper; he is larger in comparison, even amongst those of his own breed. He could carry even more men, and had a larger crew as well.

[As for his current size, that was true enough. It was a wonder, when dragons back home were not indoors, save for when they were still in the shell.]

I can say that I am quite glad I am able to do so, and it does let me be on equal footing with normal humans while I am here. The best one could hope for back home is to have a pavilion made in the Chinese style to have for oneself.

And you are quite right, BREW had a reason, though that does not stop me from begrudging the fact that I was made smaller, even if I stand on equal ground with everyone else.

sorry this took so long orz

[The more Temeraire talked about his world, the more Deryn became fascinated by it. In a way, it was likes hers and even though she loved the Leviathan with all her heart, it just didn't seem to compare with something as intelligent and able as dragons.

She lets out a slow whistle.]

I wouldn't mind being able to visit your world at all. It sounds completely brilliant! And I agree that it would be unsettling to suddenly be changed like this. BREW does that to others though, doesn't it? Not necessarily the way it changed you but there are changes, right?

[Deryn's gaze wandered and settle on the table next to them. What ever they were having caught her eye and she decided she was hungry.]

Hm, have you eaten yet?

Mine took even longer, pray forgive this...

[He gives Sharp a nod.]

I have heard that there are others that state that they have their own special sorts of abilities in their own worlds, but have been taken from them. For example, there is Luna, who is a witch in her world, but cannot do magic in this one.

[He paused, and looked at Sharp's movements; then... at her question.]

Pray do not worry for myself, for I have already broken my fast this morning before the training session.

As for yourself, if you are hungry, pray ask for some biscuits or whatever would be most suitable for our mid-morning meeting.
