Spicy? Oooh, now you're fuckin' talking! Man after my own hear--

WAIT KALIM STOP. He's gonna lean over the counter a little, feet in the air and face vaguely concerned.] Hey-- if you put all that in, you'll fuck my teeth. I need good teeth, so ease up on that, yeah? I'll take the spicy, but I gotta be good about sweets! Can't find my new strength or help people or whatever if I only got gums!
...If I get a toothache in the next day or so, I'm comin' back less friendly. You hear?
[A completely harmless threat, in the end, bark and no bite, but what is Satan if not an obnoxiously fluffy, yapping little dog?
Which is to say that after staring Kalim down for a few seconds, as if he intends on being actually violent with him or something...Satan huffs softly and sets his feet back on the ground, before taking the cup and having a sip.
Then a gulp. Swishes it around his mouth, tiny brows furrowing in thought. Swallow.]
...Feels like it makes the spices stand out better. How's it do that?
I dunno! Something about how flavors complement each other... Jamil'd be better able to explain. But this sort of style's really traditional in my home country.
[ he says as he sits with his own tea. they're obviously going to share and talk, right? that's the whole point of tea. ]
I'm glad you like it! But I knew you would.
[ he had no clue he would. but y'know. he's confident in how good his country is at cooking and drinking. ]
Yeah, I'll leave that smart shit to the dweebs and nerds. Point is, it w--
[Wait a second. Even as he takes another sip, swirls the tea around in the cup to keep any sugar from turning into a slush at the bottom...Satan frowns a little more, before leaning in towards Kalim.]
--How'd you know I'd like it? Can you read minds?
[You know. Like Satan can. Normal question, except not because humans aren't meant to be able to read minds, bro!!!]
[Big smile all teeth, before he drains the rest of his cup with clear relish.]
You'd be right at home in my kingdom, y'know; it's the same way. No place like it, but everything there is good, so no way anyone could hate it, right? Especially not humans! What sorta food do you guys have in your country? Do you have...Snake venom wine? Oh-- shit, d'you got that hole bread? I don't mind that stuff, that's pretty clever for humans. Does the hole bread go with spicy tea?
[d doughnut
he means doughnuts] Tell me about your homeland. I wanna hear if it's as good as my Gehenna.
[ kalim trails off, and there is a moment of anxiety at the mention of that, that he quickly pushes away in favor of thinking of the food of his country, because that he is proud of, and it's clear he doesn't want to interrogate that anxious feeling at all. ]
Hole bread? A... bagel?? I think that's what they're called?
Anyway, the Scalding Sands is amazing, I'm really proud to be from there!! It's in the desert, but even though it's hot, nothing can really beat it, I think. The marketplaces, the food, even our festivals are amazing!
I dunno, it's a human thing! We don't have 'em in Hell yet, but I liked the one I got when we took a trip to Earth for a bit. There's all sorts of sweets you guys make that haven't actually made it to us, which is funny considering Hell's where Earth tech's from.
...You're really from a place just called Scalding Sands? That's the name? [Not that he's mocking it, just. Damn! Damn, okay! Sure, fuck it, why not?] What sorta festivals do you hold in the desert? I'd probably fuckin' hate being there, since I don't do great in the heat, but if the party's good enough...It'd be absolutely worth it.

[ Kalim stops, only once all the sugar is in. he looks at Satan, confusion on his face, as though... he doesn't get it? ]
Don't worry, don't worry, your teeth'll be fine! I drink this all the time, and mine are good, see?
[ and he gives him a wide, teethy grin. then hands the made cup to him, expectantly. ]

I just know that things like tea and food are really good from my country!! So, if you get something in that style, you'll like it!
