Charles Xavier Shielding lessons, first run

[basic_powers]

As Tyler jogs in from his practice outside, he glances around the bar room proper to try and spot Charles for his next lesson. Seeing however, as it is evening for the Bar and the dinner crowd is making it difficult to spot anyone. Even standing up on rafter above the crowd isn't helping, and really, he's looking forward to this lesson.

Less likely to get him blown up, or grant superpowers, after all.

So then, it comes down to how best to get his teacher's attention in a crowd...without alerting the rest of Milliways.

Scooones, SCOOOOoones, Scones, Scones, Scones, Crumbly buttery scoooooooOOOOOOoones, sung inside of his head.

"Then one moment,"

He finds a rat and soon returns with a tea set of English Breakfast tea with warm milk, cubes of sugar and lovely plates. The pattern though if you look closely is made out of little hobbit holes with hobbits on the edges.

...Okay, tea in Milliways is really, really neat. Hobbits!

Ray did take the time to read the Hobbit to him at least once.

"Hobbit tea!"

Charles laughs as that's just perfect,

"Well, hobbits know how to do tea properly."

"And they don't waste time going about it," Tyler grins, carefully picking up a tea cup. "Okay..how do you do a proper tea?"

"I pour out the tea for us and then you take a sip and decide what you want to add to it. Then we drink our tea and eat our scones slathered with whatever we'd like,"

He's always loved that scones are one of the foods that you're encouraged to make a mess with.

...Tyler has decided with that first cup that his tea needs milk and two lumps of sugar.

And five seconds after his first bite of a scone with clotted cream he really likes proper tea.

Thank all the gods he spends so much time working out or he'd never burn off all these calories. For now, there is nothing but delight in a new thing.
