"You were talking, and not pure nonsense like I apparently do when I sleep."

"Beautiful, actually. It was very charming," she says, kissing his jawline.

He giggles, a little. "I try."
Yawn. Then, affectionate little sleepy kiss.

"I'm actually not sure if she has caffeinated tea. It might be all various herbal fruity things."

"Awww, but you shouldn't have to suffer," she says, finally sitting up. "Maybe she does have caffeinated tea. I know Charlie has caffeinated coffee..."

"I'm not a fan, but it's very popular, and he'll be making some anyway."

"Okay." She gets all the way up, and stretches, and beckons Path to her shoulder; he nuzzles Vern and goes to his witch.

Vern's a little more coherent than Adarin in the morning - she nuzzles Path back.
Adarin yawns again, and eventually meanders his way up. General decency clothing goes on, then... It's time to stumble off to find tea. He retrieves Vern, deciding that since she is the coherent one she will direct him. Maybe.
"If you run into a wall," she tells him, "I will peck you."
"Got it," replies Adarin, and he puts her down.

When he manages to find the kitchen, Isabella has poured him a cup of coffee from Charlie's pot, and brought out Ranata's tea selection to look at.
"Most people like cream or milk, and sugar, in their coffee," she tells him. "But up to you how you want to try it."
Breakfast, it turns out, is pancakes, all already made with blueberries in them and keeping warm in the oven.

He does manage to find the kitchen. Eventually. Vern has to peck him a few times.
"Best girlfriend," he tells her, when she has this set up for him already. "Best."
Adarin is not up to specifics, right now. He plops down, and tries the coffee as it is. He then makes a face.
"Wow is that strong."

"Yup," he says, amused. Cream, sugar, both into the cup. He tries another sip.
"Hmm. Nope, not the same. Not terrible, but eeeeh."
He sounds more awake already, though.

"Do they not have coffee in New Kystle?" wonders Ranata. "Goodness."

"Best girlfriend," he declares again. "I'll feel bad about wasting it, though. Interesting kind of tea later."
Sip, sip. "No, there's no coffee. Dunno what it's even made out of. If you say maggot cheese I will not be pleased."
