Textual submission

Justinios stared at Andrelious with a sick look on his face. "You *choose* to drink this?"

The former Imperial laughed at the blue alien, "Many lifeforms find it relaxing."

“Ugh”, the professor turned Jedi exclaimed after attempting another sip, “I would rather drink the fluid out of an oil bath.”

“Ok I get it you don't like tea.” Justinios could tell that his human counterpart was becoming slightly offended. “What about the pastries, are those acceptable to your refined palate?”

Justinios took a nibble of the jelly covered pastry in front of him. “Oh… mmmm… now that is pretty good. What is that called?”

“That my friend is called a crumpet,” the newly minted Rollmaster said with a smile.

Having taken a huge bite, Justinios was only able to mumble a reply. “Crumpets make tea time a bit better.”
