nulemti:

Laima continues to grin, proud of her own accomplishments. She’ll have to be sure she doesn’t lose that recipe. “I can dry some out and send you a tin, if you’d like it.” She addresses Saam with a cock of her head, glancing over to them. “Take as much as you want. I have more at home.” 

“Oh please do. I could use a nice tea .. and finding homemade teas are especially delightful as far as I’m concerned.“ It just seemed nice to have a decent variety of teas available just in case of a craving. “Good to hear.“ With that reassurance, they sipped more at the tea.

nulemti:

Laima smiles this easy little grin, looking very pleased with herself. The fact that they like it is enough to satisfy her. “It’s orange and lemon, something- what was it- rosehip? I’d have to look at what I wrote down. Do you think it’s a keeper?”

As Saima listens to the ingredients of what’s included, they take another sip from the tea – just allowing themselves to enjoy it a bit more. “It’s a nice combination. I would say it’s a keeper. A good tea to have to relax and just satisfy a need for something refreshing and yet calming at the same time.”

nulemti:

“Orange is nice. Hopefully it tastes as good as it smells, I haven’t had a go at it yet.” She chuckles at them, clapping her hands together as tea is poured. “The last batch I made smelled horrible, it has to be better than that try, or something is wrong with my sense of smell.” 

“Ah I see.“ They go to take a taste of the tea letting it go through them for a few moments before slowly beginning to nod in approval. “It does have a very citrus-y feel to it. I think that it turned out really well. So congratulations on this round.“

nulemti:

“Anything you’d like? I’ll eat just about anything at this rate. I’m half-starved.” Long meetings with no breaks often had her in such a state. 

   “I don’t really mind eating whatever as long as the food is good. Maybe we can go to one of your regular spots.”

nulemti:

“Do you want to join me, then? I hate eating by myself.” 

    “Sure. I’d be glad to join you. Don’t mind giving you that company to avoiding eating alone.”

“Hey Saam, what are your plans for lunch?”

    “I… I don’t really have any if I’m honest with you. Why you ask?”

nulemti:

I can’t say I’ve been to a sauna in a year or two. I think I kept getting distracted about it. [Shrugs] 

I’ll probably start going to clothed sessions from now on.

Ah. I see. It’s still a good time if you ever want to. 

Sounds like a solid plan. at least you tried something a few times.

nulemti:

Some people are very, liberal with their nudity. I don’t have anything against it, but the pressure can be a little nerve-wracking. [Nods her head] Thank you for coming though! It made it easier.

    Right. I can understand that. The only time I’m that casual about it is when it’s time to sauna. That tends to override anything else I might feel.

You’re welcome, though. I’m glad I was able to support you.

nulemti:

I mean, I’m still proud that I took my shirt off. Pants were a different story, but it was nice to at least try it out. 

   Yeah. I’m proud that you did too. That sure was more than I was willing to do. I don’t trust revealing myself around people I don’t know. They don’t need to know certain things about me off the back.

As if they hadn’t already assumed in the first place.

nulemti:

Hm, is something wrong? [She was stretching out her back a bit, still dressed in her yoga clothes] [It’s not every day you see a 6′1 woman stretch all the way out, she’s literally a long line]

    Not really. Just flashbacks to that yoga class that you brought me to. Fun but also wow, you’re not kidding about the looks people give.
