[Robert has no objections whatsoever to Earl Gray; it's a nice refined tea, simple but at the same time elegant, and it's soothing to have something like that now.

He takes the cup gratefully from Helios, relishing the other man's presence (and trying to push away the part that wants to go hide in the corner now and cry because of it).]

It... i-it is a nice tea, isn't it...

... Thank you f-for... introducing me to the blends here...

Thank y-you for... everything, really.

[And Robert takes a sip of his tea, a small one, looking over at Helios.]

... I... I-I... I don't understand how a-anybody could find you a-anything less than... wonderful.

[He refuses to think that Helios is not an amazing person.]
