Céline x Jean



C Support:

Céline: I must thank you, Jean.
Jean: Princess Céline? What are you thanking me for?
Céline: The tea produced in your hometown is far and away my favorite.
Céline: There is joy in each and every sip. So I thought it appropriate to thank you.
Jean: Ah. In that case, I should thank you too.
Jean: My mother will be over the moon to find out you like it so much.
Céline: Your mother?
Jean: She works at a tea shop back home.
Jean: You’ve probably had tea brewed from leaves that my mother processed.
Céline: I see! Do pass on my thanks, then.
Jean: I will. Praise from Your Highness would be the pride of a lifetime for my mother.
Céline: Would you like to join me for tea sometime?
Céline: We can brew some tea leaves from your home and drink to your mother’s health.
Jean: Oh! I’ve done nothing to deserve such an invitation, but I’m grateful anyway.
Jean: I’ll be looking forward to it!
Céline: As shall I. You’ll be hearing from me.

B Support:

Céline: Hello, Jean.
Jean: Hello, Princess Céline!
Céline: Oh, is that a medical text? I’m not interrupting your studies, I hope.
Jean: Don’t worry about it. I’m just reading up so I can be a good doctor.
Céline: How exemplary. Perhaps another day, then.
Jean: Hmm? Oh, you mean for that teatime?
Céline: Yes. A batch of tea from your home arrived, so I wondered if today would suit you.
Céline: But your studies are more important.
Jean: I’m very sorry. But thanks for thinking of me!
Céline: Teatime is postponed, not canceled, dear. Our anticipation shall make it all the sweeter.
Jean: My hometown’s tea must really be amazing.
Céline: Haha, you’re just realizing this now?
Céline: The tea grown in your hometown is nonpareil, I assure you.
Jean: Gosh!
Céline: Have you never considered a future in tea? Taking up your mother’s trade, so to speak.
Jean: Not really. I like tea, but it can’t save lives.
Céline: It can’t…save lives?
Céline:
Jean: Hm? Princess Céline?
Céline: I’m sorry, it’s nothing. You have studying to do. I shall take my leave and my leaves.
Jean: Well, thank you. I was just at a really fascinating part of this text!
Céline: Be diligent, but don’t push yourself beyond your limits.

A Support:

Jean: Ugh… It’s just not sinking in.
Céline: Hello, Jean. You appear to be hard at work with your studies.
Jean: Princess Céline!
Jean: I’ve read this chapter over and over, and I’m just not getting it. My brain is too tired.
Céline: I know what you need. Here.
Jean: Is that smell…my hometown tea?
Céline: It is indeed.
Céline: I saw you struggling with your studies and judged that you were in need of a break.
Jean: Wow. Thanks, Princess Céline!
Jean: Mmm, this smell… It’s so relaxing. It reminds me a lot of home.
Céline: Now, Jean. You mentioned once that you didn’t believe tea could save lives.
Céline: But I say to you that your hometown tea has saved me too many times to count.
Jean: Tea…saved you?
Céline: When things aren’t going well and I’m in low spirits…that’s a sign that it’s teatime.
Céline: A hot cup of tea in these situations does much to lift my mood.
Céline: Things tend to go better afterward, even if it’s only because I’ve cleared my head.
Céline: When the problems I’m dealing with are severe, is it an exaggeration to say that tea saves me?
Jean: No. I suppose it isn’t.
Jean: In fact, my own spirits feel pretty lifted now!
Jean: Thank you, Princess Céline. I learned something valuable today, and it wasn’t from this book.
Jean: I guess, medically speaking, I can’t count out the healing power of tea. Sorry about that.
Céline: You have nothing to apologize for. I’m relieved to hear your mood has improved.
Jean: When I get home and see my mother, I’m going to tell her that our tea is the best in the world.
Céline: If she doubts you, I shall visit in person to inform her that her tea always brings me joy.
Jean: Actually, if it’s OK with Your Highness, could we have our teatime now?
Jean: Drinking tea alone’s no fun, and besides… I want to talk to Your Highness a little more.
Jean: I’ll get right back to studying when we’re done, of course!
Céline: Hahaha, nothing would make me happier.
Céline: To be honest, I was in the mood for some tea as well. I apologize for speaking out of turn.
Céline: Well then, shall we retire to the tea room? There’s so much more about tea to discuss!
Jean: Lead the way!
