[Kelly gives the teabags one deft stir, places the lid on the teapot and turns to face Lani. She leans against the counter with her hands gripping the edge and allows her face to light up with another strategic smile. She'd actually been hoping to use today to go over a few contest routines, but...there are points to be gained here, after all.]
[Scurrying over, placing a hand flat at the small of your back and scooting you towards the living room.]
You should sit! You haven't sat down since you got here, right? So, make yourself comfortable!
[And lo, there is the most purple two-seat sofa, piled with cushions of various textures, colours and shapes. None seem to match, much like the rest of the room. The coloured and cluttered space has the appearance of being an attempt by the owner to gather together all of their favourite things rather than any effort to create a set theme or feel. ...Unless 'homely' or, perhaps more apt, 'house of a charity-shop bargain addict' was what they were going for...
Without another word Kelly will flash out of the room once again — can't let the tea go cold it's even worse that way.]
[A couple of moments later Kelly will re-emerge balancing a tray with two steaming mugs of tea, the jar of sugar, and a plate of biscuits — party rings, no less, though there are fewer than she had originally planned to offer, seeing as Lani mentioned she make cookies already.
She sets it down in a precarious position on the corner of the coffee table, pushing piles of backdated fashion and Contest magazines to the side so she can slide it further towards the centre and out of danger of toppling off. She'll sit down next to Lani, reaching for her tea and the sugar jar.]
[Then the illusion is complete! That's precisely the reason Kelly drinks the stuff.
Several spoonfuls of sugar go into that tea before Kelly wriggles back on the sofa and tucks her legs up in front of her, mug in one hand and a few biscuits in the other.]
Hey, do you know what? I think you're my first guest since I came here.
