Jonesy wears traditional Johtian garbs well, as it is where he spent the majority of his life with Derek's younger sibling. The nostalgia is enough to make him cry, but he knows better than to do that in front of customers! Wiping away the tear or two he shed in her memory, he brings out a tray with small cups and a teapot to the first few customers he'd be serving tonight.

The contents heavily resembled toso, spiced well with plenty of herbs and the like. Medicinal as it was, some seemed to relish in the taste of the beverage, more than they cared for any of the alleged effects. Even so, they were kind to their server, who bowed out after pouring their drinks to go retrieve some for the next table over.

What better to go with tea than a little entertainment?

Delphine took to the stage in a beautiful kimono; the fabric was a delicate pink silk, embossed with floral accents of varying pastel shades. In her hand she held a single stick, which ignited on time with the beginning of a traditional Japanese melody.

The DELPHOX danced with extreme grace, every move practiced and deliberate. Fire wrapped around her as she twisted, spun, and lunged around the stage. The flames even risked jumping toward the teahouse's guests at a few key points in the show, but it was all theatrics. Meant to wow and excite. Soon enough, however, the melody softened and then eventually ended.

The conclusion of her performance was met with intermittent applause. Delphine bowed in thanks to her audience before slipping off the stage and returning to her regular work: serving the tea.

She weaved through the shop with equal grace, placing cups here, retrieving tea kettles there. Every moment was a time to shine.

Though EARL GREY the SINISTEA considered himself quite overqualified to be working at a teahouse, this was more of a tea ceremony than anything else. Even his professional training as a butler hadn't covered what was required for this ceremony: why would it have, anyway? It was Johtonian in origin, not Galarian.

With that being so, the little specter doesn't hesitate to inhabit a style of tea cup more in line with what the practice required: a pretty little piece of ceramic with tidal print. Afterwards, he simply follows what the tea masters nearby do, as they go on doing it.

Smoothly pouring a perfect cup of tea is the same in any culture. And, with his ghostly telekinesis at work, he can manage five different tables all at once.
