Right. I agree. Interesting proposition letting Tributes visit the shop, try the Teas. They might even like it, yeah?

It's a little...let's go with 'risky.' Don't you think?

But I suppose it's your decision in the end. Everything is.

Are you trying to reason with her?

[oystersensei]

Reverse psychology doesn't work. Trust me.

[friend_i_hope]

Just making my voice heard, for all the good it does.

[friend_i_hope]

I'm noticing that. Always worth a try, though.

[setfires]

I suppose you ought to try while you can. Once you're set up there's plenty of people who won't care to hear your opinion.

[oystersensei]

Has it ever worked?

[friend_i_hope]

There's always plenty of people who don't care. The trick is finding the one who does.

...

That was terribly optimistic of me, wasn't it? Sorry.

[friend_i_hope]

I live in hope? Not sure why, though.

[setfires]

Yes. I'll try not to hold it against you.

[friend_i_hope]

My relief is palpable.

Or something. That sounds painful, actually.

[oystersensei]

Some might call that being delusional.

[She wrinkles her nose]

How do you do it?

[setfires]

And I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.

[friend_i_hope]

Not the first time that's been tossed in my direction.

Do what?

[friend_i_hope]

Because you, sir, are a good man. Most of the time.

[oystersensei]

Stay hopeful. You've got to admit there isn't much to be happy about around here.

[friend_i_hope]

There are all kinds of things to be happy about around here. I should know. I sell some of them.

[oystersensei]

So what exactly is in your tea? That gives it magic powers?

[friend_i_hope]

Magic? No. Nothing magic about it. We don't hold with that kind of thing.

[oystersensei]

Hatter, what's in the tea?

[friend_i_hope]

Tea.

[setfires]

At least a small portion of the time.

[friend_i_hope]

Enough to fake it, at least.

[setfires]

Enough to fake being a good man? Or enough to fake being a bad one?

[friend_i_hope]

Whichever suits your fancy.

[oystersensei]

And regular tea makes people happy?
