I'm not sure what's so English about it, but it's not bad at all.
[ what's english? anyways. he's going to show here the cool? machine? hello? this is pretty neat... he'll grab a mug and set it down beneath the spout before he opens the hatch and gestures. ]
You put the little cup in here, and you'll close the hatch. Once that's, done, you press the button. Go on. I'll just warn you the machine makes a sudden noise when it starts.
[ yeah i won't clown them, they deserve nice tea right now. pretend it's not 11pm here and that he mentions the water. or idk there are keurig set ups that just mainline the water so let's pretend it's one of those since crystalline is so State of the Art.
long story short BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! as the water begins to heat up. ]
Once it's done warming up, it passes through to the cup and steeps it for you. Clever thing.
[she leans in and takes a closer look at the machine.]
Ingenious... and the way it's set up, you wouldn't need to worry about cleaning up the leaves, either. They'd all be contained to that little cup, isn't that right?
[it doesn't sound alright to her, but she did preface it with if you wanted - but she'll remember this, in case it seems like he's having trouble sleeping in the future.]
Ah... yes, that's right.

Some of the others have said it's more "old-fashioned" or "traditional" than it is here. The capital city is large and sprawling, and of course, the neighborhoods are nicer the closer you are to the imperial palace. As far as the architecture goes, it's most similar to the temple- ah, the meeting hall, in terms of style, although it's not an exact match.

Better than Damien, I'll say that much.
And you...? How are you feeling?

...it was good to be able to do something to help.

[ finally, he lifts himself from where he's deposited his body on the couch. ] Can I make you some tea?
no subject
[at the rate they're going...]
...if you wouldn't mind it, that would be very nice. Thank you.
no subject
Actually, Dr. Su, do you want to see the machine that makes it?
no subject
[she sets her book down and immediately hops up to go see how it's done]

We have a black tea... this English Breakfast, whatever that is, a green tea. You select the one you want first.
no subject
I think I'd like to try the English Breakfast... I've never heard of it before.
[new!! things!!]

I see... it seems straightforward enough.
[in goes the little cup! down goes the hatch... and she presses the button.
did they remember to check if there was water in the reservoir before they got started]

[ he hands her the cup once it's full of hot tea and replaces it with another along with another cartridge! yay... tea. ]
Help yourself when you're here. Sometimes it gets a little cold.
no subject
[except she wouldn't have any power outlets to plug it in to, so rip.]
Oh. Really, you don't mind? [she smiles] I appreciate it. Thank you, Percy.
no subject
[ percy that's unhealthy. ]
I don't mind at all. You're here enough and I trust you'll clean up after yourself. I rather like your company, so help yourself to the machine.
no subject
[a beat.]
Although, as a doctor, I really ought to caution you to get a proper amount of sleep each night.
no subject

If you wanted... I could probably make you a tea that might help you get to sleep.
no subject
[ i prefer it this way. ]
Daxing... right? That's the name of your home?
[ he says it like a mocking bird sings back melodies, so just about right if only for his odd accent. ]
What is it like?
no subject
Ah... yes, that's right.
