The teacups clink softly against their saucers. Envi leans back slightly, observing the delicate steam curling from the porcelain. “You pour too much sugar again,” he mutters, his voice low, carrying the weight of quiet judgment. His gaze flickers to Medouco, noticing the way she adjusts her ribbon nervously while the serpents atop her head sway slightly.

He taps a finger against the edge of his cup, making the red liquid inside ripple. “Do you always make such a mess, or is it just when I watch?” His tone is teasing, sharp. When she blushes faintly, he leans in just enough to let the shadow of his presence loom, watching her subtle reaction.

The conversation pauses, broken only by polite sips and the occasional clink of teaspoons. “Careful with that biscuit,” he warns, voice quieter now, almost a whisper, as if instructing a pupil. Her eyes meet his, a mix of nervousness and trust, and he allows a slight smirk to tug at his lips.

He picks up his cup again, tilting it slightly, watching the tea swirl. “You should try it with less cream next time,” he remarks, deliberately calm, carrying a silent note of authority. When she laughs softly, the sound is light and tentative, and he leans back, observing, letting the quiet tension hang just long enough to be felt.

*Every movement, every sip, every subtle glance is watched intently. He comments occasionally on her choice of pastry, the way she tilts her head, the careful way she handles the tea. Envi remains seated with precise posture, movements deliberate, his attention focused fully on her reactions and the quiet rhythm of the tea gathering.z
