... Whenever I was really anxious about my training, Grandpa would make tea, just like this.
[She tops off their teacups, then sets the kettle back down.]
He'd make me sit there and finish it. Even when I couldn't sit still, I wasn't allowed to go to sleep until my cup was empty... even if my tea was cold.
You know the stuff in the bottom of the cup? It's good luck if you get a stalk sticking straight up. Grandpa said that I would be throwing away my good luck if I rushed through everything.
A-- anyway, that's... why I make tea when people come over. It's my own little ritual, I guess.
[Throwing away good luck if you rush everything? Maybe, he'll look at his own tea thoughtfully. His eyes can see through the colored liquid pretty well- no stalks sticking up there. Pretty typical]

It's too bad I never got to meet the guy.

That's... my fault. You would've met him if I'd made the pact like I was supposed to.
[A lot of things would've been different, though.]

... Did you just call Volt a jerk?

The guy's just been sitting around for four thousand years, there's no excuse for him not to learn a few new languages!

People try to kill me for a lot of things, it has yet to shut me up.
