Making Tea 101

Incubus watched carefully as she continued on with each step of the tea brewing process. At one point in his life he may have dismissed the process but with a few years under his belt he was learning to enjoy the little things. Maturity was a slow process for some brutes. When she revealed the herbs to him Inc leaned forward to look over the various greens. He silently hoped they didn't taste as wretched as when he swallowed them whole that morning. A small shudder ran through his body at the thought. With a small nod he allowed Seere to continue on with a thorough explanation. He'd be sure to not let the herbs stay in the water too long to avoid that taste. She then showed him how to clamp the herbs in the ball and gestured to the chain that hung over the pot. Allowing them to handle it without any burns. Despite the chain, Incubus was completely aware that he was going to end up with a burn or two. "Very helpful tips and tricks. " He matched her giggle with a small chuckle. "Lets hope our next appointment doesn't involve burns." He flashed a grin as she wrapped up the next step.

Incubus nodded as she informed him it was going to be a ten minute wait. Before he could think of a topic of discussion she asked him a few question. The male allowed his mismatch gaze to fall upon her. The first question was simple enough, how was he liking Ashen? "Ashen is treating me well. I was a loner for the last three years. So, it is nice to not have to think of where I am going to sleep tomorrow or when my next meal is." A pause. "It is also nice to have purpose. Having a focus on progression in the Pack has kept me busy." In his rogue years the most purpose he had was bedding beautiful babes and testing himself in brawls. He was simply beyond that now.

The next question was also simple but there was an underlying taboo behind his parentage. He did in fact share a Mother with Venom, that much was clear. They both had Deathbelle's look with the inky black pelt and crisp white markings. But, his Father, Hannibal Klein, was Deathbelle's brother. Incubus was a pureblooded Klein, both of his parents were first generation immigrants from the Klein's previous home in lands beyond Boreas. This fact gave him a small amount of pride. He was not tainted with the blood of these other fading families. That being said, he was very aware that there were some that would look down upon his incestual parentage. Thankfully it rarely came up in conversation. It was not out of shame that he didn't discuss his lineage but merely to avoid conflict. "Venom is my half-sister." A pause. "My mother is Deathbelle Ravage Klein and my father is Hannibal Iber Klein." Now, he did not know if Seere knew their family tree well enough to put two and two together. Either way, it was the truth. He looked her over for a moment, "Now, you are an Abraxas-Destruction." A few moments passed as she thought of who he could guess her parents were. "Are you of relation to one of Venom's littermates?" He knew Deathbelle's first litter held onto that Abraxas name, for whatever reason, so that was his best guess.
