The kettle on the stove let out a blow of steam, and ready hands let it boil for a little while before moving it aside and pouring the boiling water in the teapot.  

Those hands stirred the tea inside, filling the room with a faint smell of cloves and spices while the tea brewed.  

The person that was making tea then turned towards the kitchen table, setting saucers, sugar and a small plate with some cookies.  

The medic then checked his pocket watch and settled the teapot on the table, serving the tea to himself and his partner that was reading some blueprints on the table.  

“Tea’s ready, Schatz”.  

The medic announced, and the Engineer just folded the papers and put them under the table, holding his saucer and waiting.  

“Be careful, I don’t want to burn you...”  

Medic said, smelling the steam coming out the tea and sitting down, holding his own saucer and taking a sip after blowing on it a little to making it cool down.  

“This is a good tea”  

Said the Engineer after a moment, and Medic nodded in approval. The two men sat there, in silence, looking at the sun setting outside the window.
