Kuhaku [2]

Xara sat on a couch wearing the new clothes Fian had given her. It was a pair of a loose shirt and trousers that belonged in the category of indoor wear. 

"Here," Fian said as placed two cups of red tea on the table in front of her and then sat on the couch in the opposite direction. 

"Thank you," Xara said as she picked up her cup of tea and blew away the hot steam rising from it. After blowing into it a couple of times to make sure that the tea was cool enough for her to drink, she took a sip. 

"It's delicious," she said. 

"Well, this is my favorite tea as well. It's made from the rosemary leaves found in the Northern mountains," Fian replied.

She took a sip as well, savoring the flavor of the tea. They both didn't say anything for a while and once Fian noticed that the silence had been lingering for too long, she decided to break it.
