take me home tonight

If it hadn't been for her admiring the unique coloring of his eyes she might have missed how they drifted down her form once she stretched out onto her side. It made a knowing smirk cross her lips and she was very tempted to call him out on it, but before she had the chance his companion snapped to pull his attention back toward the task at hand and it made Elise chuckle softly under her breath. She loved nothing more than to be admired and appreciated, even if it was just on a surface, physical level. She'd never stop someone's wandering eyes if they were so inclined.

Her blue eyes drifted to watch the seemingly very particular ceremony that went along with making the tea that the primate was making - who she soon learned was named Sarabi. When Sarabi spoke to her, Elise offered the Mandrill a polite nod and a smile in return. She had no idea what jasmine tasted like, but she was certainly curious to find out now that she had seen everything that went into making it. It was incredibly fragrant if nothing else and she eyed the teapot with intrigue. It was a very aromatic, floral scent - very different form anything she had experienced before. She watched as it was poured into bowls for them before her gaze flicked up to Iroh's when he spoke. It pulled another grin to her lips as she answered, "Yes, I suppose it did." She had never really thought much about fate or how things tended to happen for a reason, instead just letting herself flow in whatever direction her desires took her, but she was happy to agree that they had stumbled upon each other in one way or another.

When he nudged the bowl toward her till it was within reach, her clear blue gaze settling on the mixed hues of his blue and lavender gaze as well. "Thank you," she told him with a smirk, her gaze sparkling with an unspoken, daring invitation to linger in her personal space as long as he wished. There was something about the ceremony of it all and the way that he behaved far older than his years that made her intrigued by him. She was just as unabashed in watching him as he seemed to be with her and she watched him curiously as he blew on the surface of his tea before taking a drink of it. Elise followed his lead, letting her gaze dip down to the tea and blowing across the steaming liquid several times before lapping up a mouthful of the drink as well.

Her head tipped to the side as she considered the unusual taste. The only way she knew how to describe the taste was the same way she would have described the scent - very herbal and floral, but not in an unpleasant way. She hummed softly and took a few more drinks before she glanced up at Iroh and Sarabi with a soft smile. "It's very good. Thank you for sharing with me."
