She'd found herself, after a sudden burst of energy, in a cleaning spree. Not that she was an unclean individual. Oh no. Well, okay so maybe she had a hording problem when it came to those strange objects she found in the human world. But that was all confined to her special chest! No, she was mostly cleaning - or rearranging - her room around. Again. Because what else was she supposed to do?! The horseman had way too much energy. And nothing else to waste it on.
But when her room was all switched around and there was nothing left to 'clean', Saiyuri realized... she was lonely.
Welp! It was time to go find someone to pester! Giggling to herself, the famine mare trotted out of her room to lurk about the reserved. Again.
"Oooooh~" The mare peered around a corner, noticing another carrying strange sacks of leaves? Never having been a shy creature, Saiyuri bounded right over to the other horseman, eyes glowing with curiosity. "Why would one have such bags of leaves?" She asked, tilting her head up at the other mare.

She nodded. "Yes you are correct, I'm surprised you've never had tea before.." Wherever she went or whoever she was with there always seemed to be tea. Not that she minded, tea was nice if prepared right. And sometimes tasty cakes or cookies were served to. Falair had to admit the cakes and teas were a guilty pleasure of hers and if none were presented with the tea she was always disappointed.
Giggling at her observation, she tucked the leaf back into the pouch. "Well, he is trying out sobriety so tea is a good substitute. Though he still grumps over the fact on occasion. Or stares longingly at his grape orchard." Even still with his griping she preferred Faiyum sober.
"You grind up the leaves and put them in a little piece of cloth, then tie the little cloth up into a pouch and steep the pouch in hot water. After a while the hot water takes on the essence of the leaves and then you have tea. I've drank quite a bit of tea in my life and if prepared correctly it is very good. You can add sweeteners to it, milk, sugar, honey, what ever you fancy. Plain tea can be a bit bitter to some." Hm, well that was an interesting request. She'd never had someone assist her in making tea but what harm could that do? Plus it would be nice to have some company too.
Falair nodded. "Sure that's fine. I'm sure Faiyum wouldn't mind me bringing someone home. And if he does well too bad." She laughed, a wide smile behind her mask that reached her eyes. "Come on, my home is not too far from here. We'll make some tea and I believe I have some cakes or cookies too." The mare motioned her head to the right before she began walking towards home.

Adjusting the bags in her arms Falair nodded. "Yes, Faiyum would lead you to believe that it wasn't a suitable substitute for him. But he is a lot better now than when I had first found him upon my return." Dirty, drunk and smelling pretty bad. Falair preferred not to relive that experience. They had made a contract of sorts between them. So far Fai had kept up his end but he certainly did nothing to hide it when he was moping about the situation.
Falair chuckled when Sayuri spoke of what seemed to be a black thumb. "Its a tricky thing for sure. I'm not the greatest at it either, but I am learning. Most of my success seems to be dumb luck though." She sighed heavily. Being an Alchemist was not easy, especially when you hadn't really found your calling. And everything serious that she put her heart into tended to blow up in her face.
Literally.
She couldn't help but smile as the other mare's excitement to learn how to make tea. Falair saw a bit of herself in Sayuri whenever she was learning new things. "Well then Sayuri here is hoping that your tea making experience goes off with a bang." The saying felt awkward and alien to Falair's tongue. She was trying to integrate a bit of Scarling talk into her every day vocabulary to better understand their culture.
As she lead Sayuri around a corner, a large tent soon came into view. It had flower beds of flowers leading to the entrance, their buds closed as they were night time flowers. Falair moved towards the door flap, coaxing Sayuri to follow. "Here we are, home sweet home."
The tent was large with several sectioned off 'rooms'. But the living area was well furnished. A large chaise on one site of a fire pit and what was a recliner adjacent to it. Tables, shelves, all covered with random artifacts, books and items. It was very cozy, homey. "Feel free to make yourself at home." Falair motioned towards the chaise. "It will take me a minute to put these leaves away and get everything ready." She moved towards a table that had several large clay pots sitting upon it.

Saiyuri just giggled. She didn't know this Faiyum or what his other drink tasted like. The mare had never drank anything with any amount of 'alcohol' in it in her life. Too busy trying to keep the essential liquids around. And she really had a fondness for fruity drinks or those derived from the nectar or flowers. "Well at least he is better!" She said cheerfully, sticking rather close to the other mare now as they walked along. Sorry, Falair! You now had a Saiyuri attached to you for the day.
The mare wrinkled her nose and raised both her thumbs up for inspection. "I've tried learning this thing. But all my plants die." Probably because she had such a short attention span with them. Or forgot about them. No no, she liked to be doing something! Not waiting for a plant to grow!
"The gardening life is just not for me~" She sing-songed with a shake of her head. However the prospect of learning a new thing was always so exciting! And maybe the word choice had something to do with it.
Saiyuri's eyes grew huge, making those magenta irises easier to notice. "Really?! Will it consist of an explosion?!" Ooooh she hoped so! Making things explode was fun! Okay, so that was definitely not what Falair had probably meant. But that was how the childish mare took it. Either way, she was going to learn how to make some tea!
The fact it was only a way of speech and not what was actually occurring, let alone Scarling talk, was lost on her.
When the tent came into view, Saiyuri made a soft sound, her mouth forming an 'O' as she stared. The tent itself was much much bigger than her own. And the beds of flowers were different. Even if they were currently closed to the day. She padded up cautiously to them, crouching down to gently run fingers along the leaves. "A very delightful home!" She crooned to the flowers, eyes darting around as the mare stood - though still sort of hunched in a crouch - to approach the tent.
"Okaaaaay~!" An invitation was all Saiyuri needed before she was exploring the innards of the large tent. She may have stuck her head into each 'room', quietly taking in her surroundings (and any other occupants that might have been there) before padding back towards the living area. Where she found herself a nice spot on the floor and sat down, staring at the large clay pots curiously.

The term was probably not the best, but really, the famine mare had spent too much time in the human world (as her family would have said) and it addled her brains. Which meant some concepts just were beyond her. Or simplified. She just giggled at Falair, peeking around at all the exciting things there were to see in this new tent. Her own wasn't shared (at least she didn't think it was) and much smaller! There were so many places in here one could get lost! Well... mainly she could get lost.
"True, true. So true." She agreed. "I scavenge. I am good at this. Silly humans have such strange things." And were so fun to destroy with their strange things. The mare giggled at this thought.
Black and magenta eyes lit up at this, and the mare grinned. "Oh! That would be wonderful! I want to make explosive things. But I want to make tea too. Tea is nice to serve your guests, yes?" She thought that's what they served guests. Although serving explosive tea to your guest would be much fun too! "You can teach me the right ingredients?" And then she could haggle for her own ingredients and surprise Falair with tea of her own someday!
Tilting her head as she watched (probably uncomfortably close) each of the leaves put into their special jar, the mare frowned as she heard something. Nose wrinkling, Saiyuri looked around, trying to find the source. And found herself face to face with the most strangest creature she'd seen. That day anyway. "Helloooooooo~" She cooed at it, inching closer and sticking a finger out towards it. "You are making tea too?" The fact it was a minipet was beyond her. She had her own pets, but they were her friends and playmates and sleeping buddies.
Yayoi And then I am slow in responding /sob/ We are ossum <33
