[Okay, a tea shop wasn't the first place she'd probably set foot in but whatever. It had been a long damn trip to Republic City and she's just looking for a place to get off her feet for awhile, and maybe get some food, if they have any in a place like this. This shop had just been the first place Ryuko'd seen, if she was being honest.

So, the door to the tea shop bangs open and in walks a girl. Around the end of her teenage years by the looks of her, and fairly clearly a wanderer by her well-worn clothes and boots. She makes her way over to a table away from the door, near a window and drops both her pack and an odd curved sword with an ornate red handle beside it before slumping down onto a chair with a huff.

Big city like this, somebody'd have to have the answers she's after but for now, it's just good to sit for a damn second.]

[There really wasn't much to speak of for food, but they had tea. Lots of tea.

He was about halfway through his shift when the girl walked in. So he finished washing the teapot that had come back shortly before her arrival as she settled in. He set it to air dry and stepped out of the kitchen to greet her.]

Welcome, traveler. Would you like some tea?

[Ryuko just waited quietly until Iroh made his way over to her table, staring out the window. There was a family out there, a mother, father and a daughter, taking in the sights by the look of it. They seemed to be having a pretty good time....

She turned her head when Iroh came over, dismissing her thoughts for the moment.]

Yeah, why not. Somethin' not too expensive though. [She grimaced a bit as her stomach let out a little growl.] Do you got anything to eat around here? I know, tea shop, but I ain't picky.

I would recommend the green tea then, and there are some pastries for food. I will see what there is.

[He got the water hot and the leaves steeping. They could sit while he searched around for any food. --Aha! A fruit tart. If she was on a budget, it was cheaper than the cakes. Hopefully she'd like it. He set it on a little tray with a cup and plate, carrying the pot in one hand to keep the tea piping hot. With the tray set in front of her, he poured out a cup for her.]

There. I know pastries aren't the most filling, but maybe this one will carry you until you can find something more sustaining.

Yeah, sure.

[Just one fruit tart but you'd think it was a feast the way she grabs it up from the tray as soon as it's set in front of her. One bite, two and it's gone, chomped down like she hadn't seen real food for days. Still chewing she goes for the tea next and. Swallows the whole thing. In one gulp.]

Ghk--!

[Her eyes bulge for a second and she goes stiff as a board, struggling with the mouthful of steaming hot tea for a second before managing to swallow it down. You can nearly see the steam on the breath she puffs out and her voice is a little strained.]

... S'not bad.

[That she's eating and drinking so fast has him a bit worried. And didn't leave him time to warn her that the tea was very hot.]

Even if you are very hungry, everything tastes better when you take your time. When was the last time you ate?

[She just grunts in response to that. She's in a hurry here, she's got no time to take things like eating slow.]

Ran outta food on the boat ride over, and that was yesterday. I'm gonna stock up while I'm here in town.

[Although, that budget of hers was starting to get pretty tight. Maybe she'd have to take some time to make some money first. But the longer she hung around... that trail was just gonna get even colder. Damnit.]
