"Now, the pu'erh, I must needs show you the proper method. The ritual is of utmost import...."

Gerd is very trollish during all of this, listening quietly and with focus, taking it all in.

Zara also shows the girl some gloriously gothy tea infusers on her phone - skulls and ravens and spiders...

"Oh that's just sooo sublime" Gerd says

"Indeed!" And perhaps the conversation devolves into different kinds of goths... and music, of course - what does Gerd MEAN she hasn't heard of The Cure?"

"Well. I HEARD of them kinda.. " embarrassed "What about My Chemical Romance .. I LOVE Black Parade"

"Oh, aye!" Zara agrees... music videos to share, too...

"Oh.. the Aviators aree ... varied, not really Goth ?But this one song..."

And Gerd is all ears about some of the classic stuff she missed... at last, someone COOL visiting.
