(Magic anon thing! I.. don't really know how to set this up so bear with me 🙏 Courtverse! Of course)
As far as Creepy knew, things were relatively normal. She and Derek were simply vibing together, enjoying some cookies she had made and a side of tea she very nicely asked for from the kitchen. She refilled his cup without him needing to ask, all the while running her mouth about the fresh baked goods.
"It was.. actually a bit difficult. I made the mistake of letting Miele into the kitchen because they insisted on wanting to help me out and they just... Yikes. I'm one hundred percent more suited to occupying the kitchen solo unless whoever is with me is fantastic at taking directions," she yapped at Derek while offering him a small plate.
"But don't worry. I made a new batch, so these should be perfectly fine."

(Also don't mind the name cameo I needed someone to blame hehehe)
(( FUCK I THOUGHT I ANSWERED THIS ALREADY BDBSBDVDBDDH MY BAD GANG XD ))
Derek sipped the tea, fully immersed in her Baked Good Saga, nodding along. He'd heard complaints about Miele before, mostly for the things Creepy was complaining about, but they had been flagged by the King as well. Bizzare, truly.
The tea was the usual stuff, but with a sort of fruity aftertaste. He hadn't realized Creepy had gotten a fruity tea from the kitchens, how thoughtful of her!
Except.
Fruity wasn't quite right, was it?
He mulled over the flavor, finishing off what he had been given while Creepy rambled on. He felt a touch warm, but that could be the tea.
Right?
"Thank you, they look delicious." He accepts the treats with a smile.
Pauses.
"What tea did you say this was, again?"
Something felt... Off.
