Tea glanced about the small home, taking in his surroundings as he tried to feel comfortable. Tugging at his collar, he wound up glaring at a lampshade. Jack had a few styled antiques that seemed out of place in the simple home. Tea could only assume the man had acquired them through the ages. Stepping towards the lamp, he held a clawed finger out like he was going to poke it.

Jack had only left Tea in his living room for a moment as he gathered his things for his party. Hell, he wasn't even sure if anyone else would show up. But as he walked back into the living room he saw Tea reaching to poke one of his antiques.
"No!" Jack yelled as he rushed over to the lamp. "Sorry, this is very old. In fact...a lot of things are old in this house..." Jack said as he straightened the lamp up and stared back at Tea, who only stood there wondering just what happened. "In fact, don't touch anything." He added not trying to sound like a jerk. "Shall we go into the tea room?"

"Sorry," Tea offered. "Yes, let's do that." He glanced around once more, before following Jack. Guy had a lot of keepsakes for someone who didn't seem to treasure his life. He had half a mind to point out the stuff was old like him but kept his mouth shut on the matter. Tugging on his collar again he declared, "What kind of tea do you have?"

When they came into the room, the table was set much like something out of Alice in Wonderland. The table was riddled with tea kettles, trays of cookies and biscuits, plates, and cups. Jack of course sat at the end of the table and began to prepare the tea bags.
"Well, I have oolong, green, vanilla chai, orange spice, lemon, Yorkshire, Jasmine, black tea, herbal tea, spearmint, peppermint, yerba mate, tulsi, and roobios." Jack said nonchalantly as if he's gone through the list before. Through his years of life, he certainly had the time to drink many different kinds of tea. He had much more in the back, but at this point in his life, most of it had probably dried up and turned to dust.

Tea would have to avoid the rooibos and mint teas. It tended to leave him feeling nauseated. "What is. . . yerba mate?" He'd never heard of that one. He stared at the cookies and other assorted snacks and was very much reminded of a scene from a book he'd read once when he'd had a moment of uninterrupted quiet. Those moments were rare, so the scene had stuck with him. "There isn't a doormouse hiding in any of these cups by chance?" he asked almost playfully.

"Ah, well, yerba mate is actually a tea from Africa where you steep leaves and twigs and you drink it from a gourd." He said once again pretty straight forward, not even so much as cracking a smile. "It's pretty nasty actually." He said as he took the box of tea and tossed it across the room as it smashed against the wall.
Jack then smiled at this and let out a laugh. "No, there is indeed no doormouse in any of these kettles." The smile then went away as he began to look in all the kettles. There were a total of about ten kettles. "At least I don't think so..."

Echo stood outside the door, wondering whether or not if she should knock. She wanted to get to know everyone, but was still a little nervous, after all, she was tiny, at 4'8 and extremely thin. With a deep breath, she knocked and waited

Jack lifted his head from the kettles after hearing the knocking at his door. "Ah! More guests!" He quickly rushed over to the door, unlocking the many locks on his door and opening it. He glanced about before looking down at the small girl. He smiled at the small girl. "Well, hello there. Have you come for the tea party?"

Echo looked down, a little scared of the person standing before her. "Um....yes." She whispered, still unsure if this was a good idea or not

Jack could tell the girl was nervous. Jack stood in his doorway looking down at the girl. "You're more than welcome to come in." He said standing to the side and gesturing her to enter his humble abode.

"Thank you" Echo replied politely, stepping inside. "I love the decorations, antiques are my favorite." Echo commented, looking at the various vases and pictures as she followed her host.

"Ah yes, I'm quite the collector...or sorts. Don't worry I didn't steal them." He laughed awkwardly. "To tell you the truth. They're all mine. I'm older than all of these antiques." He said to the girl as they went into the tea room.

Echo looked up surprised. "Really? I'm young for my race, and I don't have as many beautiful things as you!" She laughed a little, slowly becoming a little more comfortable."So who else is here?" She asked, looking around.

"Really? I'm nearly 700 years old." He said sitting back down at the head of the table. "Well, there was another chap here, but he had to step out. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?" Jack paused realizing that may have come off as strange. He cleared his throat and tried to again. "How old are you, not in a creepy way." He said a little more sternly. "That came out even worse...."

Echo laughed at how flustered Jack was getting "I'm waaaaay younger. 456. I'm the youngest of my species." She looked up, spotting a familiar painting. "Oh wow! That's the original isn't it? I've only seen copies in books." She stared in wonder
