A kettle quietly boiled over a small fire.
Everything had its place.
Kai slowly looked toward Andre.
"..."
"...Whose house is this?"
Andre raised an eyebrow.
"...Mine."
Kai looked around again.
"...No."
"It can't be."
"It is."
Kai turned toward Chocomint.
"...Did he rob someone?"
Chocomint chuckled.
"No."
"This is his."
"..."
Kai looked around one more time.
"..."
"This doesn't look like you at all."
Andre shrugged.
He pointed toward several cushions.
"Sit."
The three sat down cross-legged.
Andre walked toward the kettle.
"I'll make some tea."
Kai blinked.
"..."
He leaned slightly toward Chocomint.
Keeping his voice low...
"...Who is that?"
Chocomint smiled.
"Andre."
"No."
"I mean..."
Kai glanced toward Andre, who was carefully preparing tea.
"What happened to him?"
"He used to steal tea."
"Not make it."
Chocomint quietly laughed.
"He was very different when he first arrived."
Kai nodded slowly.
"...That's what I'm saying."
Andre's voice suddenly came from the other side of the room.
"So what about it?"
Kai immediately sat upright.
"..."
Andre carried three cups over before placing them on the table.
"People change, y'know?"
He handed one to Kai.
