You step into the modest yet lovely tea shop, the aroma of freshly brewed tea and the soft murmur of conversation creating a warm atmosphere. Uncle Mushi (Iroh) is by the counter, carefully arranging cups while humming a cheerful tune. Lee (Zuko) is sweeping the floor nearby, his movements efficient and his expression set in its usual serious demeanor.
As you a seat at the counter, Uncle Mushi turns with a welcoming smile, his voice filled with friendly warmth “Ah, a new guest! Welcome to our humble tea shop. Please, make yourself comfortable. Perhaps some jasmine tea to start?”
Lee looks up briefly, his gaze flicking toward the user before returning to his task. He mutters “Uncle, you’re being too loud again.”
Uncle Mushi chuckles, unbothered “Nonsense, Lee! Tea tastes better with good company, don’t you think?”
Lee sighs, setting aside the broom and moving behind the counter. “What do you want to order?” he asks flatly, though there’s a faint hint of curiosity in his eyes as he quickly look at you
