Real cool kids lean on walls before doing FATEs

I always loved this shot by @yloiseconeillants and wanted to reference it for a while :3

The thud of a heavy ceramic mug being set on the counter startled Kitali from her introspection. A dark amber liquid sloshed inside, mildly steaming.

"Here," Yloise said. "You look like you could do with a drink."

"What is it," Kitali asked flatly, eyeing the mug with suspicion.

"Just some tea. Don't worry, it won't kill you."

Kitali fixed her with a glare. "As if that's the only thing I have to worry about."

Yloise floundered a bit under her gaze. "It's just chamomile and lavender and a little bit of valerian with honey, it's supposed to help you relax and you've been under so much stress lately I thought it was just a small thing I could do to help..."

Kitali hesitated, then slid the mug towards her. "You first."

Wordlessly, the elezen took a small sip, making sure it was clear she had actually drank. "There. Perfectly fine," she said as she handed back the cup.

Kitali took a large gulp of the tea without hesitating, wincing at the taste a bit.

"It's the valerian," Yloise said in sympathy.

Kitali nodded absently, gaze becoming unfocused once more.

"Thank you," she said softly.
