[oh, good, he can stop averting his eyes. It’s less weird and sleazy to look directly at topless dudes.]
Well, I’m sure you’re not the only one having this problem, but I think I can take a few minutes to get to know the neighbors before moving on.
The Water Tribe is effectively split between the North and South Poles, and... well, as should be evident, certain members of our population have the ability to manipulate water. I’m from the north, which is a little more centralized.. though, it’s not like we don’t have small villages scattered around. It’s just that if you want to be where the action is, there’s an actual capital you can visit.

[Is it though?]
That is very kind of you.
[Hanzo ditched the towel to put his robe back on, gesturing for his guest to sit while he put on a kettle to boil so he could make tea for the both of them.]
I see. That skill must be very useful. It would be particularly helpful in battle or if you ever have to fight. People are made up of a good amount of water, as you probably already know.

[Mystical wizards can still be bartenders at least!]
Really?! It's the first thing that comes to mind when I think about controlling both water and ice! You should keep that in mind, pal!

Well, yes, it is.
[...try... not to react to that... considering...]
Of course, there are limits, both in terms of what we can accomplish and what violates several laws. So it tends to have less to do with manipulating the water in other people's bodies so much as, say, high pressure water jets and ice blades and things like that.

Oh, well, that works, yes. Good... laundry management. You don't want them to bleed on each other in any sense of the word.
[...let's move on okay hopefully the next one isn't-]
What is your favorite type of pet:
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Lobster
[...]
Are they talking... just dogs, cats, and lobsters?

Yeah, I suppose it is.
[Temple has no idea how that could come about but it is the only thing that could explain some of the stuff he’s seen.]

[Yes. Laws would be important in a place where people were capable of such things. Those abilities could easily be used for good and just as easily used for the opposite depending on who it is.]
Of course. That would only be sensible. Would you like some tea?
[Hanzo avoids the question he wants to ask. Whether his new acquaintance as ever tried or considered trying doing that despite so-called laws. They don't know each other well enough for that kind of conversation, maybe.]

You could, but then it doesn't taste the same. And are so many issues involved with that to the point it's almost a crime.
[On one hand, freshly melted chocolate tastes amazing. On the other hand, that pull to weirdly touch people's hands is just odd and she's not sure if she can keep this up anymore.]

Is it really...? Well, I'm more interested in politics, but... yes, I will keep it in mind. It can't hurt.
[Bartenders technically are influential in a certain way, but...]
Either way, I think we have more pressing things to deal with at the moment.

I don't really care what they think.
[He'll make no secret of that--what are they going to do? Stun him again? Throw him in Moon jail? He invites them to try. Just because they've offered temporary housing doesn't mean they're to be trusted.]
If you wanna follow the rules, don't let me stop you.

[...yeah, actually, he does look like that sort.]
Well, alright. I'll give it a go, then.
[He'll go ahead and take it, taking a small spoon out of the jelly and tasting it...]
...
You're right, I don't hate it.

[Politics? He's not sure how water and ice would help with that, but Tarrlok seems like he knows what he's doing.]
Right!! We've got all those vines to deal with, pal!

Exactly. Have you heard where they might be originating? I feel like it’s best to try and find then real source of this problem and take care of it there.
Well, I’m out of potential solutions... unless you just go around giving people handshakes. It’s polite and not invasive, so it won’t come off as strange.
Which... is certainly troublesome, but I suppose it is what it is. I'll just have to make the best of it while I'm here.
Sorry... I don't have a single clue yet. But hey, why won't we investigate that together? I'll be your police escort again, and we'll take this case down!
Actually, I would. Thank you very much.
[Tarrlok will sit down for tea and be kind of glad that he didn't press further on the bloodbending thing because holy shit... holy shit he doesn't... wanna talk about it...]

[ Intelligence is a bonus, but Semiramis largely considers it secondary. Strangely, it is kindness that she most values.
However, she provides him no direct hint, though she hardly minds the conversation derived from the question, simply taking the opportunity to turn it back on him. ]
You sound like a man who doesn't mind some competition from your partner. [ She finds this somewhat unusual. At least, back in her day... which was sometime ago, intelligence was not something highly valued in a companion. ] Of course, you may correct me if I'm wrong.

[Temple nods.]
Yeah.
I advise that you relax and think of it as a vacation. And do the fun stuff you wished you could do at home but couldn’t because you had too much important stuff to do there.
I mean, yes, you can work on getting back too, if you want, but you should get used to this place and smell the roses here, just in case that turns out to be impossible.

I guess that could end up working.
[And given her nature, she could actually pull it off. Introduce herself to everyone with handshakes, make friends, get chocolate, it's the ultimate win.]

...well, suit yourself.
[Tarrlok thinks this guy's just making things way harder for himself, but... whatever.]
I hope it goes well for you.

[Hanzo plays the part of the perfect host like he knows exactly what he’s meant to do. And after the favor Tarrlok has given him, he feels it’s the least he can do.]
I apologize for not having anything more to offer.
[He sets the two cups of tea onto the table once he’s finished and takes a seat.] I would offer sugar but I do not trust it to not make me enamoured with the first person i see or something equally as ridiculous. Why is everything on this planet an aphrodisiac?

What dish is that?
[ As an archangel, there's plenty he's certainly missed out on. Having an experience like this is not many despite his long years of living. Not to mention it's interesting to learn of these people and their other worlds. ]
Hmm, I certainly do enjoy sweets more as well. Especially with a cup of coffee. [ his go-to drink! ]
