“Yeah, I travel.” He smiled, tongue pressing against his canines for a moment before speaking. “ All over. I pretty much travel anywhere for good tea to bring back to the shop. Last week, I was in Tibet.” Vendel smiled at him before chuckling.
The tea shop owner tried to be gentle as he shook hands before speaking again. “ Harry. I like that name. It’s cool.” He pointed out before pulling his hand away gently. Looking over at Stephen, he rolled his eye before laughing a little.
“No… Stephen is a bit of a jerk and tends to focus on his…next conquest.” Vendel rolled his eyes before sipping his tea. “ Can I interest you in something to eat? I think I have some non laced food around here some where he teased.”
Harry’s interest was suddenly picked and he looked up at the man “Tibet ?” If he could have animals ears they would be highly raised on his head. “Isn’t it... Like... Cold ? But it must be beautiful...”
He uncomfortably shrugged “I... I don’t know it’s um... Common. Vendel is... Quite... Stranger. Where does... Where does it come from ?” As soon as he got his hand back he played with his fingers, twisting them, nervously intertwining them together.
He sighed when the barman told him Stephen would not likely come back so soon. “Ah... That’s... Unfortunate. He said... He said he’d be back. I don’t... I don’t want you to... Waste your time.” As someone entered the bar and let the door shut a bit brutally, Harry jumped and looked around him like a frightened rabbit.
