[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...]
[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?
No, it’s fine, really. A hot cup of tea is usually appreciated after working with ice, even if it’s unflavored.
[He’ll pick up his cup and take a sip.]
...and yes, everyone is certainly forward here, aren’t they? I suppose different cultures have different views on sexuality and intimacy, but I can’t say I’ve seen anything as intense as this.
[Hearing that puts him at ease enough to not worry about whether or not serving plain tea was acceptable to his guest.]
No? Where I am from these things are spoken about and engaged in openly. My family on the other hand was quite...traditional. I discovered things a little later in life.
[He's not sure why he's sharing that, but takes a sip of his tea to stop himself from oversharing. Though the other man did see him disrobed, so perhaps that supersedes everything? But it wasn't the least bit intimate, at least.]
Well, it does depend on the environment, I suppose. Back in the Northern Water Tribe, we tend to keep things like that behind closed doors, but Republic City can be a little bit looser depending on what company you're keeping.
I don't think it's quite as extreme as putting intoxicants in chocolate that make you really want to hold people's hands, though.

[He chuckles at that.]
I would have less to complain about if it was simply hand holding. Either way, it is not the way I would treat visitors to a new planet.
