How does it ever get so cold here- t-trời ơi... It's really intolerable, isn't it?

Does it get worse than this? [Her voice drops, sounding somewhat distressed and annoyed.] I can't imagine that... [Mayfield's fairly mild early December weather is still too cold for Vietnam. She's a tropical country with a long monsoon season;

[bambooalliance]

The cold weather is truly troublesome. [Guess who is wearing like. Three sweaters. Oooh yeaaa.]

[lotuslife]

[so is she aww yeah they're so stylish.] Anh Australia says it will last until February... [she sounds horrified.]

[bambooalliance]

F-February!? Is he certain? [So much horror. BRB HIDING UNDER THE COVERS UNTIL IT PASSES.]

[lotuslife]

February... [TRIES NOT TO CRY...]

[scentofbauhinia]

[didn't actually hear the phonecall, he's just out taking the tiger for a walk so normal

this one rarely drops below the 50's so he's feeling pretty damn cold and his people tend to wrap up loads even when there's a slight dip in the temperature, so he's already wearing gloves and a scarf etc... the tiger is also wearing a scarf ;u;

EYING THE DRINK NOW.....]

[lotuslife]

[smiles and goes right up to the tiger to pet it because that's completely normal.]

Chào em.

[scentofbauhinia]

[roffle happy tiger noises and rubs up against like a giant kitty]

Jehje.

That salty plums in there? [he's rather partial to li hing mui, so it's not exactly a disgusting idea to him]

[lotuslife]

[she drops to her knees and scratches behind the tiger's ears, nuzzling her cheek against its giant, extremely deadly face. she seems to take a moment to notice Hong Kong again.]

Oh? ...Ah, yes! The grocery store doesn't sell them prepared in such a way, so I have been preserving them myself. [and to the tiger:] Bạn đang rất dễ thương...

[OOC - Just gonna say this is before Theta's droning if that's all right by you?]

Ah, if you have a reliable cold remedy, I think I may need to have some on hand. My Darling seems to like being out in the cold, I think he might catch one.

[lotuslife]

[that's fine!]

I would be happy to help. [oh no don't accept her help...]

[ergaleomancer]

That's very kind of you. Is it a recipe or is it something that will keep? [Oh but it's not for her. She doesn't realise it yet, but this will actually be punishment for Albedo for being a derp in the cold.]

[lotuslife]

It is a recipe, but it's made with preserved plums, so it does keep, in a way.

[relaxiamadoctor]

[Fran peers at the glass]

How does it help the sore throat exactly?

[lotuslife]

It's soothing! [read: she's not really sure]

Sorry for the slow replay, real life is...

[relaxiamadoctor]

[Fran picks up a glass and peers at it]

I suppose I'll buy some~

[She doesn't plan to drink it so much as experiment on it later]

that's okay! i've been slow too.

[lotuslife]

Oh, no... Please enjoy it for free.

[tsundorapettan]

[ after hearing Vietnam's message on the phone, Jessica drops by her house and (impolitely) walks into the backyard. She's wearing like three layers, but the cold weather doesn't go very well with her asthma, so her voice is rather hoarse. She's giving the glass a dubious look. ]

What the heck, this is supposed to be the remedy? [ a cough ] Can you even drink that?

[lotuslife]

[h-holds out the glass] Of course. IS there something wrong with it? [sees... nothing wrong with its appearance...]

[tsundorapettan]

[ staring at the glass. then back at viet with a look that says "is there something not wrong with it?". then back at the glass. and back at vietnam. rinse, repeat. ]

... Good for a sore throat, you say? [ considering it... ] Ah, what the heck, most medicine doesn't taste all that good anyway. Alright. [ takes... the glass... ]

[lotuslife]

[watching...] But it does taste good. That is the good part.
