He leaned on her until he felt calm again. Once the tears stopped, he sighed and nodded against her shoulder. "It is." Glancing to his cup, he said, "I should probably get up and make more." After he downed that cup.

Serena watched him, hands folded on her lap. "If you want to..." she begun slowly "You could come see me on Saturday. Gabriel comes back then. He's my friend, and he makes very good Tea. And he promised to bring cake, too. He's always happy when there are more people for tea." It had been an invitation on impulse, simply, because she didn't want him to walk away just like that, and then maybe never see him again.

Tea considered it. Then he nodded. "I would like that." Back straightening, he continued to nod. "I would like that a lot."

Serena smiled broadly. "Then it's set! I see you on Saturday. I will see you at Tea time in Gabriels room. I think you'll probably know where it is." And with that her first conversation with Tea ended. [Scene End]

[Start new scene]
Gabriel had been both suprised and curious about the visitor that would join them this saturday. Serena just told him that another person would arrive when he put out the tea set for both him and his best friend. Luckily Gabriel had brought enough cake to feed at least ten people and he had plenty of cups and plates as well. "It's sweet that you invited this friend. Who is he? Do I know him?" He'd just asked before it knocked on his door. "Ah well, I will find out now, don't I?"

"I don't know if you've meet before, but he is very nice an...I think he's very lonely. And I don't think that is good for him. And he likes tea a lot, so I thought, maybe the two of you could become friends too." Serena explained just before the knocking interrupted their little conversation "Oh! That must be him." Serena wheeled back from the Tea table she had been sitting in front of and rolled to the door to open it and reveal Tea to Gabriel. "Gabriel? May I introduce Tea to you?"

Tea hesitated before stepping in. His stomach had been twisting all day as he'd waited for the meeting time. Glancing from the siren to the Victorian vampire (a strange pair, but he supposed he'd been among stranger) he gave a nervous, "It's nice to meet you." He praised himself for not stuttering. This time.

Gabriel, who had just a package of sugar cubes in his hands to fill up the porcelain bowl on the table froze where he stood, the package slowly denting in, through his tight grip, before he put them down on the table, a bit too rough to be normal. "Welcome." He greeted, smile friendly and in contrast to his movement. "Nice to meet you too, Tea. I haven't had the pleasure yet. My name is Gabriel. Do come in, which tea do you want?" The vampire was torn on the inside. For once he didn't know enough details, except for Tea being a traitor, to be truly against this person, but on the other side he was titled a traitor, he had unleashed the Puppeteers upon their haven and at the end, was the reason Serena had been in trouble, Serena who now seemed to be friends with him. The gentleman would wait and see how things went, but he would keep a slight hostility in the back of his mind until the other would proof otherwise and until Gabriel knew that he was no treat to his siren.

Serena was a bit startled at the noise the cubes made when Gabriel almost slammed them onto the table, looking at him, surprised. But what ever had driven Gabriel, he seemed to have calmed instantly, and the Siren relaxed again "Come in Tea, I'm sure you're going to love Gabriel's tea, he has at least a hundred different flavors!" she rolled back a bit so tea could come in.

Tea didn't disguise his jump at the movement well. His eyes were wide and he clenched his hands into fists to hide that they were shaking. Sensing the hidden hostility, he was no longer certain he should trust the invitation. "Um," he fumbled, the promise of tea tempting but too afraid to ask now, "I . . . I don't know. C-can . . . what's your favorit-te?" He could guess the reason for the hostility, and he could understand it. But that didn't make it any easier.

The vampire noticed the jump in Tea's gesture and noted it mentally down, someone who felt guilty and scared acted like this not someone who planned to be a danger. On the other hand, you could never know how much someone played their role. Something Gabriel had learned in the last century, making mistakes himself or even playing his own part. "Serena is right I got a wide variety of different sorts of teas, that you can freely choose from."

Serena smiled calming at Tea "i like all sorts of green tea." She told him "They taste nice, and they sooth me. I like them most with honey." She grabbed his hand carefully and tugged at it "let's take a look at the Tea cupboard, yes?" She asked, leading him to the very sizable cabinet Gabriel kept his tea in. She opened it and rolled out of the way, for Tea to have a look. But she stayed close enough for him not to feel left alone.

Tea followed, still rather shaky and ill at the prospect of entering the home of someone who clearly wasn't comfortable with him. Well, it was clear to Tea. Not really to anyone else, he guessed. "Green sounds nice." It certainly would be relaxing to have something without a heavy amount of caffeine. "Is there pomegranate green?"

"I actually do, it is a new one so you got luck with that, I have it since 3 weeks ago. It's right there in the front, the one in the purple package." Gabriel interposed from behind both Serena and Tea."I haven't tasted it myself yet, so I can't give you any insight on how this one exactly unfolds its flavour after being brewed ." he added afterwards, before getting out the honey for the mermaid from above the fridge right beside the cupboard.

"I'll take the same then." Serena said "I haven't tasted the purple one either. Do you also want a bit of honey?" She asked Tea, and then, when he didn't immediately grab the package she asked "And could you get it? I can't reach it from my chair."
