Robert is smacked in the face with a box of tea bags that tumbles to the ground. The collection of tea is an eclectic collection; cheap and rare, local and very very foreign. An apparently open bag of loose leaves spills out onto the ground.
"Hmm. Reminds me of a story about a tea-leaf reader hired by royalty in a far-off land. Everyone ends up dead, of course, in a series of ironic self-fulfilling prophiecies. I can't seem to read these leaves, but hopefully they say good things for my survival, hm?"
Robert picks up and examines the surviving tea and plucks an herbal-looking one.
"Might be good for everyone to calm down," he says as he pours a cup of hot water, and hands it with the teabag to fella who asked for it.
