Howdy, everyone! This is Asgore.

I have been stocking my tea blends at Denny for several months now. Are there any flavors you would like me to try that I have not yet? The tea garden on Io is so large, I think I could experiment quite a bit without using too much.

- oh, Ignis, would you like me to come by for some apricots?

I dunno. Uh -

[He thinks, instead, about what fruits he suspects the kids might enjoy, because that's easier.]

Blackberries, maybe. Raspberries. Or - stuff like cinnamon. That red tea. What's it called? Roo...something? [The word he's looking for is "rooibos," though he doesn't remember it.]

[journalname]

Rooibos? That is from a different plant entirely, I'm afraid.

[Also doesn't have any caffeine, but that's neither here nor there.]

But I can make you some blackberry tea, and some chai.

[postictal]

Rooibos, right. Blackberry sounds better anyway.

Chai. Man, I don't think I've ever...

[He doesn't think he's ever had the opportunity to try it.]

[journalname]

I do not quite have all the spices I would usually use for chai...but there is cinnamon and ginger, and I can get some cloves. It should be similar!

[probably lucky Tim doesn't have a lot of expectations of it, honestly]

[postictal]

Huh. That sounds...pretty good.

[He genuinely sounds surprised. Time to experiment with teas. He's never really had the opportunity before.]

[journalname]

I have always enjoyed it! I will bring some by Denny when I am done.

[He knows where Tim lives, but he also knows that Tim is usually at Denny. Also, dropping in unannounced on Frisk and Chara is...an uncertain proposition, still.]

[postictal]

[Probably safest, honestly.]

Sounds good to me. Thanks. Uh...do you...want anything for it? If it's out of your way.

[journalname]

Oh, no, do not worry about that. It's no trouble at all.

[postictal]

If you're sure.

[He's not gonna push it, but he makes a mental note to try and do something for Asgore at some point. Lord knows the guy probably needs it.]

Thanks, though.
