Tea Ceremonies Society
"Your father just told me you've been invited to join the Society, congradulations."
"Father?"
"Yes, Wan-Se-Get, my right hand... cat I guess you could say. He takes care of the Blessed Isle's tea drinkers for me. I never could get your mother to change sides, she handles Indigos in Rainbows for Ardis-Iara, Who Paints The Rainbow now."
"Oh?"
"Yes, tintcats are spiritual beings who add color to whatever their claws touch, similar to how you touch your claw to any water and make it tea. I suspect it's how you honor your mother while being very much your father's daughter."
"How does father make tea?"
"He looks at the water impatiently, and it turns into tea, he's dramatic like that..."
"This is their crest, the five tea kettles represent the first people they approached:
Bureau of Humanity Bureau of Heaven Bureau of Fate Bureau of Nature Bureau of Seasons "I noticed you didn't seem thrilled, when I mentioned your father."
"He never acknowledged me."
"Ah, I'd have been surprised if he acknowledged all sixteen-thousand twins he had with your mother... I'm not sure how that happened, either, but they are a powerful influence in the society, since maybe a quarter of them joined, work in the bureau, or engage in related activities.
