"Just decide on what you want and order first. When you're hungry, I'll send it over." Elliot had been busy the entire morning. He was already hungry.

"Okay, let me think," Avery said, then immediately felt too lazy to do so. "I'll have what you're having. Our taste is mostly the same."

"You're just too lazy to think, right? What are you doing?" Judging by her tone, Elliot could tell that she was a little distracted.

Avery picked up her cup of water and drank some to soothe her throat. "I didn't do much this morning. I was checking up on the tea culture of Ylore. I have never heard about it before. The tea culture in Ylore is quite famous."

"Yes. The tea culture in Ylore is not only about drinking tea. There are tea performances, too. I've seen the performances, but I can't differentiate the tea." Elliot has seen a tea performance at Ylore before, but he had no interest in tea.

Avery said, "Oh, then why do you sound nervous?"
