Part 757: Libra (Father) C

Tea's ready. It's the, uh... The whatsit kind. From that place. You know, the expensive junk.

Um...

Well...? Whaddya waitin' for? A royal invitation? It's all set and ready to go-just the way ya like it.

Uh, Brady?

Let's step it up, old-timer! Tea ain't gettin' any hotter!

Oh, right. S-Sorry... *sip*

...But, Brady?

Yeah?

What did you mean, "just the way I like it"? I'm not much of a tea drinker...

Whaddya mean? You drink it every day. You never miss teatime.

I've had the odd cup here or there, I've never had a "teatime" in my life.

...WHAT?! Ma told me to join ya in your daily tea ritual! Even gave me detailed instructions! Wait... Did she make it all up?

Considering I don't even know what a "tea ritual" is, I suppose she did.

That dirty... I bet she's laughing her head off right about now!

Er, what exactly did she tell you?

Oh, don't you worry. I'm gonna have me a nice, long chat with dear ol' Ma! You just sit there and drink your damn tea. So long, old-timer! (leaves)

(Brady comes back)

...Oh, and set this on top of the pot. It keeps the tea warm. (leaves)

...When did my life get so odd?
