"Deal." she said, extending her hand in return. Once she retracted her hand, she turned it palm up. A small box appeared there. "Within this box there are 20 tea bags of each flavor, to tide you over .. this should be more than enough. Each bag is good for two cups of tea, one strong, one less strong but still quite satisfying or if you wish to go a third time, a third cup of tea shall steep fairly well also but if you do this more than three times, the flavor is not good. As for how to steep .. please observe." she said softly but with confidence, having no issue with teaching even the mighty Yawgmoth the simple act of making a cup of tea. If he did not accept the box with the teabags, she would set it on the table.
Once her hands were free, she used everything she had conjured there to make herself a cup of tea with them watching. Taking the teabag, she set it in the cup, making sure the string was hanging off the edge so it would be easy to remove, no need to fish it out with a spoon. Tugging on the string a few times, it was easy to see the changes of the water becoming flavored by the tea. She then removed the bag, pressing the bag against her spoon over her cup to get the final bits of water out of the bag, used the spoon to stir once, then set the bag on the spoon on the table. "Again, you may choose to add milk, honey, lemon or a variety of other items to your tea at this time, however in my opinion one needs nothing else than those three. It is a long process to dry the ingredients that are required for making tea, this is why I always us the bags or tea to be steeped in the pot." she said with a small smile. Lifting her cup to her lips, she took a long sip. With the instructions, the water had cooled just enough to make the temperature just right. Looking to him with an arched brow, she continued by saying; "Of course, when I am finished with your cup, you will need no ingredients and the cup will last a life time .. approximately one hundred years, before it will begin to loose its flavor." she said with a nod.

Yawgmoth accepted the box and his crimson eyes carefully watched every movement she made and listened carefully to every instruction she had. His eyes were taking mental pictures of how to do each and every step and his brain was writing her words onto it to read off of like a piece of notebook paper. He was determined to learn this in one go and not have to bother her about it again. Besides, she was so...feeble it was embarrassing to be learning something from a creature he considered inferior to himself. "Looks easy enough. We can build something like Titus and get it to work, a cup of tea can't be that hard now can it?" he said lightly with a small smirk. Though he was worried he was going to over think this entire process. That he was going to go overboard and think about building some over elaborate tea making device instead of just one simple cup. He was trying his best to hide away his tinkering tendencies and just learn the simple stuff.

"Indeed, I have no doubt of that. Many young persons can learn after one showing, their greatest hindrance is their coordination of their hands and eyes, judging how much water to pour, how to properly hold the teapot so as not to burn themselves and not fill the cup too full of water to be able to add milk to it. Again, I have full confidence that you will not have trouble with that as you are not a young person. You have the advantage." she said with a smile.

"If you called us young or youthful we'd have to laugh at you, you do realize this?" Yawgmoth said with a slight chuckle. "Well then, we suppose we will just have a sit since you said something is going to take a day to make, by chance is it this..cup that lasts however many years you said? A hundred? We can only assume that a magic of that longevity would take awhile." he replied.

"All are as young as they feel." she said with a smile, again sipping her tea. Tilting her head, she replied again calmly. "These are regular cups and regular teapot, though I conjured them from nothing, they are not ever filling as the cup will be. I truly do need a day to guarantee it will last that long. I could enchant your cup to refill when it is empty - the same I did once for you with the plate of steak. However it will last only an hour. An immediate enchantment like that can last only minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the item and the skill of the wizard. For those which last longer, there are a few extra enchantments one must make, it will take time but is easily done. As this cup will have two selections of tea .. I must be creative with how I perform these enchantments." she said softly. Her eyes seemed to un-focus for a moment, gently biting her lip, delightfully lost in thought at the ideas of how to enchant the cup exactly to make it work for two kinds of tea instead of one.

Yawgmoth sat down near the two of them but in a chair that was separate. "Take your time. Since you're doing us a favor and not being increasingly difficult about it, we have no qualm with how you go about it or how long it takes. We've waited lifetimes for things before. A day, or even two if it is required is nothing." He said crossing his arms over his chest with a sigh. For once he wasn't crossing them out of disgust at the scene just out of position for him to relax easier. "Maybe one day we will show you our home and teach you something that you'd like to learn as payment, aside from the whole deal we just made of course. We shall see." he concluded with a slight nod.

She slowly returned to conversation as she concluded her thoughts. Looking to Yawg with a small smile still she nodded her head. "The spells are easy enough, it is simply a matter of allowing the spell to .. age a bit. That takes several hours, it would be dull to sit about waiting for that. As I will repeat this process twice, that is why I say it will be one day. Then, the final touch, the part that will be a challenge but I am confident that I will have no problem with, is to have the cup produce earl gray if held one way, mint if held another. One .. simple solution .." she paused, thinking again. "Would you require a handle on the cup?"

* Ali simply sat there with a amused smirk upon his lips, in a way it was odd to see and now know that Yawg had never made tea before considering his age and the technology his planets supposedly had. Compared to what drinks he probably had in the past tea would've been a primitive drink...like deer pee or something. Also this was getting a nobility feel to it, sitting down and drinking tea while displaying....semi-good manners. Hopefully Yawg didn't powder his face white, got a mole on his chin and put on a massive white wig. That would simply cause Ali to stand up and say "This is getting to odd for me".*

Yawgmoth was amused by Aliator's odd looks and smirks. But he was too busy trying to iron out the details of his order to Ziven to bug Ali about them. "No, we don't require a handle on the cup. We're a big boy, we think we can hold one without a handle." Yawgmoth said almost mockingly as her question seemed kind of fool hearty to him. "Oh and while we're on the subject of defining terms of deals and what not. You left the other day before you named your price." Yawgmoth noted making an eyeing motion towards her shoulder. "We hope you didn't forget. We said if you won we'd grant you a request of some kind. Though be reasonable, all you did was land a single hit." he explained.

Still thinking on how to do this, the fact that he did not want a handle on the cup brought a challenge, but she quickly thought of a solution. Thinking for a moment longer on how to go about it, she was caught offguard with his next words. She bobbed her head a bit. "Indeed, I forgot aout that. I have no decision yet." she replied, feeling slightly uncomfortable now. Blue eyes darted between the two men several times before settling on her tea again.

* Ali began to laugh a little as his mind analyzed their most recent words, so she had fought Yawg and even managed to strike him? Interesting....very interesting.* Tell me Yawg, Did her punch hurt?

"I did not punch him so much as ran in to him .. something like tackling .. but he is large and I am not." she said simply, blue eyes again darting between them for a moment before settling on her tea.

* Ali slammed his right clenched hand onto the table with such force it would create a loud bang, pointing at Ziven afterwards with his right index finger. It was clear that he was quite angry with her on the fact she had gone out and fought someone when he didn't consider her ready for it, he had a program and she agreed to stick with it.*Do not do such again unless I tell you that you are ready to engage in physical combat, I haven't even begun to teach you how to fight properly and already you've fought Yawg? Just be happy you made a deal with him, Had it been a stranger you would most likely be beaten up severely or worse and then it would've been my fault and responsibility. Do you understand me?

Blue eyes went wide with surprise at his reaction. To her it seemed completely over dramatic. She stiffened, clearly displeased with the tone he took with her and intended to set it straight. "It was not a fight but a challenge to see if I could even touch him - which I did. I understand your request and will keep it in mind." she said firmly. It was clear that she was upset but still trying to be respectful, in no way defiant to his request. Unlike her usual behavior, she did not break eye contact with Ali this time until she too was satisfied that he too was crystal clear with things on her end.

Good.*With that Ali leaned back in his seat, letting out a slight yawn as he tucked his hands down into the opposite armpits. He held his gaze at her, she was getting a more nicer and softer training then Ali's soldiers. Those he forced to the breaking point and beyond once they gathered themselves and gave it their all, that that didn't manage were relieved of the training and had to find other things to do. Even so Zivens hardest part of the training had yet to begin.*Soon enough I'll teach you real physical combat that would match you and your personality also I'll make sure each and every punch or kick delivered will be enough to harm Yawg.
