Anything but Ordinary | Phobetor & Ryo
Hearing the voice, Phobetor’s eyes lift to watch his employee enter, seemingly in a good mood. His gaze tracks him for a moment, wondering if this would lead to more requests or complains about something... but there was something different about the young man today. He looked good. Long form dressed casually and masculine, it was a nice sight and one he does not mind enjoying whilst apparently also receiving tea. “I see” the god hums, slowly setting down his ink pen. “How kind” he comments softly, eyes tracking down to the tea canisters before chuckling softly.
“You should know I rarely see morning” he teases softly with a glance up towards the young demigod. As a purely nocturnal god, Phobetor prefers to keep time in the daylight, especially the morning sun, to a bare minimum. Those hours were usually only seen once a week, when he has plans with a friendly god or another. Still, the tea will no doubt be useful then.
“I had heard about your other venture” Phobetor comments with a nod, plucking one canister from the desk before him to slowly pry the lid and take an inhale of the gorgeous tea scent. “You enjoy running your tea shop?” He enquires, dark gaze once more lifting to the young man. “There is a burner behind you, if you’d like to brew us a pot?” In the small cabinet surrounded by stacks upon stacks of books is a small gas stove, water, kettle and tea set - everything Phobetor needs for a midnight tea break.
How kind. Well Ryo had his moments. He was the observant type, and he wouldn't go out of his way for many people just those that he had good feelings about. Phobetor may be his boss and they may have butt heads from time to time - since Ryo was not very afraid of the god - but they have been working together for a while now. Running his own shop now he understands what stresses can come with a owner status. So the witch empathized with the older. "Heh..I am nice when I want to be." he laughs a little but does watch closely as the handsome god takes the moment to smell one of the blends he made.
"Its true...you are not always up during the day, but feel free to use these for your nocturnal needs as well." he adds while he watches and while he wonders what the god is thinking he hears the next comment about his second job. "Oh yes, I do enjoy it very much. Not just for the art of tea but for the things I can make. I tend to have specialty teas for certain people that come through. Not to sound too much like I'm living a different kind of fantasy but its like potion brewing." he explains softly before he's taking the other canister which held the calming tea to turn and start the process of brewing a cup for the god. Ryo doesn't mind doing it at all, he actually wonders if he could show the other the talent he had perhaps he'd become one of his customers as well. "I don't think I've ever seen you around Yue..but it also probably doesnt help that we dont stay open very late." he laughs a little.
